directly condemned the Institution of Slavery. 5. The Bible instructs slaves to obey and submit
to their masters... Not run away. (Colossians 3 & Ephesians 6) 6. The Bible (i.e. Paul's

emancipation. 7. Throughout Biblical history, the Hebrews ("God's Chosen People") practiced
slavery. 8. The New Testament book of Philemon discusses the story of Paul returning a
Christian runaway slave back to his Christian master (apparently Not necessarily to be freed
though, but rather to be welcomed back as a slave that is a forgiven brother in Christ).
● Arguments against slavery. Answer: 1. Africans are our fellow human beings and thus its
inhumane and immoral to own slaves. The humanitarian thing to do is free them rather than
hold them in bondage as if they were "worthless" beings. 2. Some northern factory workers
may work/live in worse circumstances than some southern slaves, but at least they are free
men! 3. According to Biblical interpretation, God is a god of freedom... Not bondage. 4. In
Biblical times, God took pity on those that were slaves and delivered His people from the
Egyptians and then later from the Babylonians. Therefore, if God frowned on these instances
of slavery during Biblical times, He would never endorse slavery being practiced in any
generation. 5. Exodus 21:16 "He that stealeth a man, and selleth him, shall be put to death."
(KJV) 6. In the Bible (1 Timothy Ch. 1), Paul implies that Slave Traders are sinful and will not
enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Therefore, if a slave trader is a sinner, so are their
accomplices; slave owners who purchase slaves from them. 7. In the spirit of the Biblical
teaching of Jesus, "The Golden Rule", found in Matthew 7 and Luke 6, how can true
Christians morally and willfully hold other people/souls in bondage?

● Frederick Douglass. Answer: He was slave from Maryland and did not enjoy life as a slave.

know how to read and write. To get freedom he would go North. He would complete education
to be a spokesperson against slavery as a radical. He would marry a women outside of his
race.
