Does the Bible condemn slavery?
Were Christians told in the Bible to free their slaves?

I'm not particularly interested in whether the Bible justified slavery or not. The question is whether you support it.

Does the Bible condemn slavery? Were Christians told in the Bible to free their slaves?No. But one must be careful when dealing with such a broad topic with a single concept word. For example, slavery in Jewish society was very different than the cruelty of slavery in Roman society. It was conceptually closer to indentured servitude.

Does the Bible condemn slavery?That's really sad, man.
If I were you, I wouldn't be pointing out the weak points in your most revered document.
