BIBLE TEAM CHALLENGE

Enslaved people have had a god-given right from the beginning of human history. The inhabitants from the harsh nations that the holy Christian soldiers captured thousands of years ago are no longer recognizable from the ones who took them.

According to the Bible, "You are now the Lord's property, in consequence of your being purchased by the blood of Christ," just as your bodies have become the property of your masters due to his paying the price for you. In essence, slavery is another way an unfair and undeserving group of people might strive to earn God's compassion.

We are all aware that slavery is a divinely granted right, as has often been demonstrated. While we see this in the Bible, we also see this in other religions as well, for example, Judaism.

It talks about how slavery wasn’t declared illegal or legal in the Torah there is s line in the Torah where it states that people can enslave people, but the enslaved person has the right to quit or leave. “ Milgrom’s analysis centers on Leviticus 25, where in verse 42, God says, “For they are My servants, whom I freed from the land of Egypt; they may not give themselves over into servitude.” The Talmud claims that workers always have the freedom to leave, meaning they cannot be coerced into working longer than they desire to. One more example of how religion played a role during the time of slavery is a Jewish person was able to enslave a person but may not keep the slave forever.

The Jewish people could only keep their slaves for six years total. According to slavery in Jewish virtual library "And when thou lettest him go free from thee, thou shalt not let him go empty; thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy threshing floor, and out of thy wine-press; of that wherewith, the Lord thy God hath blessed thee" (Deut. 15:13–14; ”. The quote from the Torah explains that Jews were able to keep slaves but had to sorta reward their slaves after their six years of work were over.
