Slavery and You

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Many people treat their slaves terribly. They don't show them the word of Christ and they call themselves Christians! This is an outrage! It's very easy to get your slaves to convert to Christianity as it is proclaimed:

Titus 2:9-10 (New International Version)

    9Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them, 10and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.

I always go with the food method to initiate the conversion:

 

Once converted, make sure your slaves respect you with fear and sincerity of heart as we, obey Christ. Inform them if they don't serve you fully, they not only will be whipped, but sent to Hell!

Ephesians 6:5-9 (New International Version)

Slaves and Masters
    5Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. 6Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but like slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. 7Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, 8because you know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free.

And remember, Boy 1, isn't better than Boy 2 just because it works harder than Boy 2. It's faith is in question.

    9And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.

 

Is it okay to beat my slaves?

Not only is it okay, but Jesus commanded us to do it! That's right, when your slave knows what it is to do, yet doesn't do it, you are to beat him many times!

Luke 12:47-48 (New International Version)

    47"That servant who knows his master's will and does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with many blows. 48But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.

The thing is though, that if your slave didn't know what it was to do, and didn't do it, then you can only beat it a few times, rather than many.

Isn't it just awesome to be Christian and moral, simultaneously?!
