REVERENT and REBELLIOUS Ep. #126 - SLAVERY AND THE BIBLE!

Episode 2 of When the Church Lost the Plot is here — and this one hits! How did Bible-believing Christians use Scripture to defend slavery? What did they get so wrong? After all, isn't slavery everywhere in the Bible? Today, we dig into a lot more than history. We dig into the Curse of Ham, the household codes, Paul's letter to Philemon, and the hermeneutic of convenience that made it all possible. We also look at a group of resistors who read the same Bible, but found a completely different God in its pages. How did this happen? Why was it justified? How can the Church move to ensure it never happens again? Join us for a powerful conversation!
