Does the Bible really ABOLISH slavery? Check out the full video with @DJHammurabi1 at

Slavery back then was nothing like employment today. Saying something so demonstrably ridiculous betrays a viewpoint devoid of any serious attempt to understand the times and text. And is an insult to those actual slaves who suffered under slavery for thousands of years.

Since the author admits that he hasn't spent much time looking into this, it's understandable why this is one of the worst articles I've run across on the topic.
It literally is out of context. God gave instructions that were merciful and progressive for the time. Abruptly abolishing slavery would have caused chaos and uproar. Thanks for finally citing a verse, though. Wanna cite verses for the other things listed?

Except "עֶבֶד" can & does mean slave when referring to someone owned as property for life, their children after them, able to be bought & sold & made to work for no wages. That's a slave. That's a chattel slave. No amount of wishing or demanding they be called servants changes it
You are refuting demonic voices inside your head like a satanic freak.
I never said, not one time, “עֶבֶד” doesn’t appear in that bible Satan rammed up your asshole.
עֶבֶד = bondservant dumbshit.
“Slave” literally means “white person”.
Bondservant ain’t a chattel slave moron.

Yes, the Bible very clearly condoned slavery. The curse of Ham was not used to justify slavery itself, it was used to justify race-based slavery of blacks. Those are two very different things. You don't need to invent the silly curse to get the Bible to condone slavery.
Saying the Biblical intent was to "move away from slavery" is a post hoc reinterpretation based on a modern understanding of morality, and ignores nearly 2,000 years of Christian history, & what the Bible specifically says on the topic of slavery in favor of the reinterpretation
Can we please clear one thing up? Kidnapping has literally nothing to do with whether something is chattel slavery or not. Zero. Stop quoting Ex. 21:16 as a rebuttal to the Bible condoning chattel slavery.

This is what happens when people listen to Frank Turek and don't actually know the Bible.

Yes, did you know every nation had a law like that at the time Mike? Did you know that this has absolutely nothing to do with whether Biblical slavery was chattel slavery (which it is)? Did u know the Bible specifically says you can own non-Israelites as lifelong chattel slaves?
Did you know this was in the Old Testament?
“He who kidnaps a man and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, shall surely be put to death."
Exodus 21:16

America was not in charge of slavery. Slavery existed long before America. Slavery was a norm, America provided a way to deal with it.
If it's not an excuse for America, it's not an excuse for the Bible either.
What American law or sentence in American founding documents expands slavery? Name a single law that encourages a new form of slavery where none existed before it. Name a single law in America that calls slavery a moral good?
Why is this thought of as a good argument?
What verse in the Bible, read IN CONTEXT, expands slavery? Name a single one that encourages a new form of slavery where none existed before it
Name a single verse in the Bible that calls slavery a moral good as opposed to limiting practices that were already in place prior

I'll just leave this here for you
The Bible/True Christianity is narrow. “Narrow is the way that leads to life and few there be that find it.”
No one justify slavery with scripture, they instead avoid the condemning of that evil and ignored scripture. Most people that were abolitionist were devout Christians
