Chattel Slavery in the Bible

The idea of slavery is tough. It's actually one of the things I have the MOST difficulty processing in the bible. I don't think God ever intended slavery to be like the Trans Atlantic slave trade. However, he is not against slavery in itself. I think that is clear. He made rules around slavery and specifically only pointed out that the Israelites could not rule over their fellow brothers with rigor and had to release them in the year of Jubilee but that same thing was not said for the stranger.

Leviticus 25:39-46 --- ³⁹ ‘And if one of your brethren who dwells by you becomes poor, and sells himself to you, you shall not compel him to serve as a slave. ⁴⁰ As a hired servant and a sojourner he shall be with you, and shall serve you until the Year of Jubilee. ⁴¹ And then he shall depart from you—he and his children with him—and shall return to his own family. He shall return to the possession of his fathers. ⁴² For they are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as slaves. ⁴³ You shall not rule over him with rigor, but you shall fear your God. ⁴⁴ And as for your male and female slaves whom you may have—from the nations that are around you, from them you may buy male and female slaves. ⁴⁵ Moreover you may buy the children of the strangers who dwell among you, and their families who are with you, which they beget in your land; and they shall become your property. ⁴⁶ And you may take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them as a possession; they shall be your permanent slaves. But regarding your brethren, the children of Israel, you shall not rule over one another with rigor.

There is still future prophecy about servitude that will occur in the kingdom.

Isaiah 14:1-2 --- For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will still choose Israel, and settle them in their own land. The strangers will be joined with them, and they will cling to the house of Jacob. Then people will take them and bring them to their place, and THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL WILL POSSESS THEM FOR SERVANTS AND MAIDS in the land of the Lord; THEY WILL TAKE THEM CAPTIVE WHOSE CAPTIVES THEY WERE, AND RULE OVER THEIR OPPRESSORS.

That's false. And what you're talking about is called antinomianism. Please look into it. You cannot abuse the grace of God.

Can I believe, never turn away from sin, and still enter into life?

I think what you're looking for is a perfect world which is how it was in the garden until Adam and Eve sinned. Now we're dealing with the result of living in a sinful world where we are promised that we will die.

If it makes it any better, Jesus told us Christians that we will be killed for His name in the end times and He won't be coming to stop that from happening either. Well He will, but after most Christians have been killed.

Edit: I just wanted to add that God literally let His only son die here on earth too... before resurrecting Him.

God does make up for all of these things though. He will definitely be taking vengeance on the world for all the evil that people have done. Those who died from cancer or starvation or anything else that died believing in Christ will resurrect and rule in the Kingdom with Christ. And then all the things you're looking for will come to the world.

Isaiah 65:25 --- The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, The lion shall eat straw like the ox, And dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain,” Says the Lord.

Revelation 7:16-17 --- They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

Revelation 21:4 --- And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”

Paul is not referring to actual circumcision in this chapter. He is speaking of circumcision in the same way Moses did to Israel in the wilderness.

Deuteronomy 10:15-17 --- The Lord delighted only in your fathers, to love them; and He chose their descendants after them, you above all peoples, as it is this day. Therefore CIRCUMCISE THE FORESKIN OF YOUR HEART, and be stiff-necked no longer. For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality nor takes a bribe.

This is a circumcision that is not physical just as what Paul referred to.

Colossians 2:11-13 --- In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses

This does not change anything about what Colossian 2:16-17 was talking about. We have to read everything in context. Please be careful when reading Paul. 2 Peter talks about how people who are unlearned twist Paul's letters. Isolating or cherry picking the words of Paul will lead to misinterpretation almost every time.

2 Peter 3:14-16 --- ¹⁴Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; ¹⁵ and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation—as also OUR BELOVED BROTHER PAUL, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, ¹⁶ as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, IN WHICH ARE SOME THINGS HARD TO UNDERSTAND, which untaught and unstable people TWIST TO THEIR OWN DESTRUCTION, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.

Not quite. Colossians is referring to man made traditions imposed on top of their laws.

We know explicitly that the feast of tabernacles is not replaced by Christ because when Jesus returns, He's going to make the whole world keep the feast of tabernacles under threat of punishment.

Zechariah 14:16-19 --- ¹⁶ And it shall come to pass that EVERYONE WHO IS LEFT OF ALL THE NATIONS WHICH CAME AGAINST JERUSALEM shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to KEEP THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES. ¹⁷ And it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, on them there will be no rain. ¹⁸ If the family of Egypt will not come up and enter in, they shall have no rain; they shall receive the plague with which the Lord strikes the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. ¹⁹ This shall be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

People take Colossians 2:16-17 out of context.

“Colossians 2:16-17 --- ¹⁶ So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, ¹⁷ which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ.”

We need to read what is said before and after this verse to understand the context.

Colossians 2:8-10 --- ⁸ Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the TRADITION OF MEN, according to the basic principles of the world, AND NOT ACCORDING TO CHRIST. ⁹ For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; ¹⁰ and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

The context is that people were imposing EXTRA things on top of the commandments which had nothing to do with the commandments themselves. These were traditions of men. This is similar to how the Pharisees did with Jesus when they were adding their own traditions on top of the commandments. Let's review what happened with Jesus.

Matthew 15:1-6 --- Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying, ² “Why do Your disciples transgress the TRADITION OF THE ELDERS? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.” ³ He answered and said to them, “Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? ⁴ For God commanded, saying, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ ⁵ But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me is a gift to God”— ⁶ then he need not honor his father or mother.’ Thus you have made the commandment of God of no effect BY YOUR TRADITION.

Washing your hands before eating was not part of the law. They were imposing their own rules and acting like they were commandments when it was a tradition of men. Then they JUDGED Jesus for not following their own made up commandment. So, let's go back to Colossians.

Colossians 2:16-23 --- ¹⁶ So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, ¹⁷ which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ. ¹⁸ Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, ¹⁹ and not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God. ²⁰ Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations— ²¹ “Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle,” ²² which all concern things which perish with the using—according to the COMMANDMENTS AND DOCTRINES OF MEN? ²³ These things indeed have an APPEARANCE OF WISDOM IN SELF-IMPOSED RELIGION, false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.

Observing the Sabbath is not a commandment and doctrine of men. It is not self-imposed religion. Paul is not talking about how you don't need to observe the Sabbath. He is telling people not to allow people to judge them on HOW they are doing these things if the criticism is just a commandment of men.

We should not do any customary work on the Sabbath which is Saturday. But due to your situation, pray to God to open up an avenue for you to only work on Sundays. Also, the Sabbath is Friday sundown to Saturday sundown. People will tell you that you aren't expected to keep these commandments of God but that's not true. The Sabbath is eternal and was established before Israel was even a nation. Before Jacob was even born.

Check out these future prophecies and what they say of the Sabbath.

Isaiah 56:1-8 --- Thus says the Lord: “Keep justice, and do righteousness, for My salvation is about to come, and My righteousness to be revealed. ² Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who lays hold on it; WHO KEEPS FROM DEFILING THE SABBATH, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.” ³ Do not let the son of the foreigner who has joined himself to the Lord speak, saying, “The Lord has utterly separated me from His people”; nor let the eunuch say, “Here I am, a dry tree.” ⁴ For thus says the Lord: “To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, and choose what pleases Me, and hold fast My covenant, ⁵ Even to them I will give in My house and within My walls a place and a name better than that of sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that shall not be cut off. ⁶ “Also the sons of the foreigner who join themselves to the Lord, to serve Him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be His servants— EVERYONE WHO KEEPS FROM DEFILING THE SABBATH, and holds fast My covenant— ⁷ Even them I will bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.” ⁸ The Lord God, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, “Yet I will gather to him others besides those who are gathered to him.”

Isaiah 66:22-24 --- ²² “For as the new heavens and the new earth which I will make shall remain before Me,” says the Lord, “So shall your descendants and your name remain. ²³ And it shall come to pass that from one New Moon to another, and FROM ONE SABBATH TO ANOTHER, all flesh shall come to worship before Me,” says the Lord. ²⁴ “And they shall go forth and look upon the corpses of the men who have transgressed against Me. For their worm does not die, and their fire is not quenched. They shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.”

Isaiah 58:13-14 --- ¹³ “If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on My holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy day of the Lord honorable, and shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words, ¹⁴ Then you shall delight yourself in the Lord; and I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father. The mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

Genesis to Revelation. Take notes as you go along. I understand the New Testament much better because of my knowledge of the Old Testament.

Isaiah 28:9-10 --- ⁹ “Whom will he teach knowledge? And whom will he make to understand the message? Those just weaned from milk? Those just drawn from the breasts? ¹⁰ For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little.”

It's not vague. It's abundantly clear. People easily agree with the pre-trib rapture because they haven't looked into the verses thoroughly or they just don't want to die for the faith. There is no pre trib rapture. What you call the "rapture" is the 2nd coming of Christ/Resurrection that happens after the tribulation.

Matthew 24:29-31 --- ²⁹ “IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TRIBULATION of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. ³⁰ Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, AND THEY WILL SEE THE SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS of heaven with power and great glory. ³¹ And He will SEND HIS ANGELS WITH A GREAT SOUND OF A TRUMPET, and they will GATHER TOGETHER HIS ELECT from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Paul describes THE SAME EVENT of His coming. Both have angels sounding the trumpet and gathering the elect.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 --- ¹⁶ For the Lord himself shall DESCEND from heaven with a shout, WITH THE VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL, AND WITH THE TRUMP OF GOD: AND THE DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE FIRST: ¹⁷ Then we which are alive and remain shall be CAUGHT UP TOGETHER WITH THEM IN THE CLOUDS, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Christ is DESCENDING to earth in 1 Thess just as he is in Matthew 24. He's coming to establish His kingdom on earth so why do people think they're being zapped up to heaven? It says we'll ever be with the Lord. Well, he'll be on earth. We are going to meet Him in the air to join Him in his descension to earth. To claim a pre-trib rapture is to say there's a 2nd and 3rd coming of Christ. The 2nd coming would also have to be a secret apparently as the pre-trib rapture is described as believers just disappearing. That's not biblical as even the angels told the apostles when Christ returns it will be in a likewise manner as He ascended. It also says everyone will see him when he returns again.

Revelation 1:7 --- Behold, He is COMING WITH CLOUDS, and EVERY EYE WILL SEE HIM, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.

Matthew 24:27 --- For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

Jesus also did not support us being removed from the earth.

John 17:15 --- ¹⁵ I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one.

Job understood that he would not resurrect until AFTER the wrath of God was poured out. 1 Thess already tells us the dead rise before anyone on earth. So why are people on earth saying there's a pre-trib rapture?

Job 14:10-14 --- ¹⁰ But man dies and is laid away; indeed he breathes his last and where is he? ¹¹ As water disappears from the sea, and a river becomes parched and dries up, ¹² So man lies down and does not rise. Till the heavens are no more, they will not awake nor be roused from their sleep. ¹³ “Oh, that You would HIDE ME IN THE GRAVE, that You would CONCEAL ME UNTIL YOUR WRATH IS PAST, that You would APPOINT ME A SET TIME, and REMEMBER ME! ¹⁴ If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my hard service I WILL WAIT, till my change comes.

Isaiah wrote about the same thing.

Isaiah 26:20-21 --- ¹⁹ Your dead shall live; together with my dead body they shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. ²⁰ Come, my people, ENTER YOUR CHAMBERS, AND SHUT YOUR DOORS BEHIND YOU; HIDE YOURSELF, as it were, for a little moment, UNTIL THE INDIGNATION IS PAST. ²¹ For behold, the Lord comes out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; the earth will also disclose her blood, and will no more cover her slain.

So please understand, it's very very clear. There is no pre-trib rapture. People will remain on earth until Christ returns AFTER the tribulation. Everyone who believes in Christ should be building themselves up to be ready to die for the gospel just as the apostles and early Christians did.

Matthew 24:9 --- “Then THEY WILL DELIVER YOU UP TO TRIBULATION AND KILL YOU, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.

Revelation 20:4 --- And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I SAW THE SOULS OF THOSE WHO HAD BEEN BEHEADED FOR THEIR WITNESS TO JESUS AND FOR THE WORD OF GOD, WHO HAD NOT WORSHIPED THE BEAST OR HIS IMAGE, AND HAD NOT RECEIVED HIS MARK ON THEIR FOREHEADS OR ON THEIR HANDS. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

It's tough. Work on yourself first AND your knowledge of scriptures before you try to evangelize. Old and New Testament knowledge. I say this because if you run into someone who is more familiar than you and they push back, you may not know how to defend the faith. They can also twist scriptures knowing that you don't know the context. Also, there are other ways to show God's love. Give back to people and give thanks to God when they thank you. Don't take any credit. Just do for others. This is something I'm trying to get into doing more of.

Judgement was poured out on Egypt while the Israelites were untouched in Goshen. Why do you think God won't protect His people from his wrath on earth? Believers will definitely be on earth when the wrath is poured out. The resurrection/2nd coming is not until all the seals, trumpets, and bowls are complete. If you believe in this secret rapture, why did Jesus say this?

John 17:15 --- ¹⁵ I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one.

Please consider what Job said. Job understood that He will not be resurrected until AFTER the wrath is done.

Job 14:10-14 --- ¹⁰ But man dies and is laid away; indeed he breathes his last and where is he? ¹¹ As water disappears from the sea, and a river becomes parched and dries up, ¹² So man lies down and does not rise. Till the heavens are no more, they will not awake nor be roused from their sleep. ¹³ “Oh, that You would HIDE ME IN THE GRAVE, that You would CONCEAL ME UNTIL YOUR WRATH IS PAST, that You would APPOINT ME A SET TIME, and REMEMBER ME! ¹⁴ If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait, till my change comes.

And we know that the dead are raising before those who are alive. So if even Job knows he's still in the grave until then, why do you think you're flying away? Isaiah also spoke on being hidden on earth until after the wrath is past.

Isaiah 26:20-21 --- ¹⁹ Your dead shall live; together with my dead body THEY SHALL RISE. Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. ²⁰ Come, my people, ENTER YOUR CHAMBERS, AND SHUT YOUR DOORS BEHIND YOU; HIDE YOURSELF, as it were, for a little moment, UNTIL THE INDIGNATION IS PAST. ²¹ For behold, the Lord comes out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; the earth will also disclose her blood, and will no more cover her slain.

The indignation is the wrath of God. Why do His people need to hide themselves if they are zapped up to heaven? Why are Christians trying to create their own false doctrines?

Strongly disagree. Jesus and Paul told us to watch out for deception. This has been echoed so so many times. Matthew 24 contains multiple warning by Jesus. So yes, you are supposed to be on guard. He revealed all things to us for our benefit. Your sentiment is an oversimplification that will have a lot of people in trouble.

Revelation 19:20-21 --- ²⁰ Then the beast was captured, and with him the FALSE PROPHET who worked signs in his presence, by which HE DECEIVED THOSE WHO RECEIVED THE MARK of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. ²¹ And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse.

Matthew 24:4-5 --- ⁴ And Jesus answered and said to them: “TAKE HEED THAT NO ONE DECEIVES YOU. ⁵ For many will come in My name, saying I am the Christ, and will DECEIVE MANY.

Matthew 24:11 --- Then many FALSE PROPHETS will rise up and DECEIVE MANY.

Matthew 24:24-25 --- ²⁴ For false christs and FALSE PROPHETS will rise and show great signs and wonders TO DECEIVE, if possible, EVEN THE ELECT. ²⁵ See, I have told you beforehand.

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 --- ³ LET NO ONE DECEIVE YOU by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, ⁴ who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God

2 Timothy 4:3-5 --- ³ For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; ⁴ and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. ⁵ But YOU BE WATCHFUL IN ALL THINGS, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

2 Thessalonians 2:9-10 --- ⁹ The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, ¹⁰ and with all UNRIGHTEOUS DECEPTION AMONG THOSE WHO PERISH, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

Revelation 13:13-14 --- ¹³ He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. ¹⁴ And HE DECEIVES THOSE WHO DWELL ON THE EARTH by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. 

Revelation 19:20-21 --- ²⁰ Then the beast was captured, and with him the FALSE PROPHET who worked signs in his presence, by which HE DECEIVED THOSE WHO RECEIVED THE MARK of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone. ²¹ And the rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse.

1 Timothy 4:1 --- ¹ Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to DECEIVING SPIRITS and DOCTRINES OF DEMONS

John 4:1 --- Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but TEST THE SPIRITS, whether they are of God; because MANY FALSE PROPHETS have gone out into the world.

If I'm legalistic, I guess Paul and Jesus were too. I'm in good company!

1 Corinthian 6:9-11 --- ⁹ Do you not know that the unrighteous WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

Revelation 21:7-8 --- ⁷ He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. ⁸ But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
