Re: Do you believe we should own slaves?
Paul didn't really address slavery one way or another; only the relationships that occurred because of it.
He was talking to slaves and masters who were believers, and he didn't take a political stand. He addressed the dynamic, and instructed them to be good to one another. I'm not sure that he was supporting slavery. IMO, he was simply addressing the social dynamic as it existed from a Christlike POV.
