Didn’t expect this leftist garbage from a Baptist church.
Edit: thanks for the support pedes. My faith in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit is not diminished. I’m just disappointed in the pastor. I will keep looking for a church that is rooted in God only.
Jesus brought about the freedom of his people. His people being not just the direct descendants of Israel, but every human on Earth.
The places where slavery still exists is in places that don't have Christianity.
Even to this day, when people describe slavery in the US, they talk about things like student loans which cannot be forgiven. And wouldn't ya know, they are distributed by bankers and academia. Not a whole lot of Jesus amongst those groups.
And outside the US, slavery happens mostly in Muslim and atheist countries.
Imagine being a grown adult, borrowing large amounts of money from someone, then calling yourself a slave because they make you pay it back.
College is not mandatory, people.
There’s plenty of Slavery in Africa, in which most of the countries are majority Christian
