New-Testament Slavery: Fact vs. Fiction with Dr. Paul Copan

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, human dignity, morality, New Testament, Paul Copan, philosophy, Podcast, religion, slavery, theology

Does the Bible REALLY support slavery, as skeptics often claim? Last week, Dr. Paul Copan joined Frank to unpack the cultural and theological context of Old Testament passages, like Leviticus 25. This week, Paul returns to examine the New Testament’s most controversial passages on slavery, addressing questions about human dignity, morality, and God’s ultimate plan while answering questions like: What rights and protections did servants actually have under biblical law? What does the punishment for mistreating servants reveal about their dignity and value? How did the Bible call out abuses of slavery and work to humanize servants? What did Paul teach Christians about how to treat slaves in the New Testament? Were there barriers that made abolishing slavery outright impossible in ancient Rome? Why does God sometimes take incremental steps…

Old-Testament Slavery: Fact. vs. Fiction with Dr. Paul Copan

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, morality, Old Testament, Paul Copan, philosophy, Podcast, religion, slavery, theology

Does the Bible condone slavery? Critics often point to verses like Leviticus 25 as proof that Scripture supports the kind of dehumanizing chattel slavery we know from the antebellum South. But is that REALLY what the text is teaching? Old Testament scholar and author, Dr. Paul Copan, joins Frank to unpack this hot-button issue and explain how to think carefully about slavery in its historical and redemptive context. You’ll hear answers to questions like: What are 8 things a person needs to study in order to understand this topic well? What does the opening chapter of Genesis teach us about slavery? What is chattel slavery and how is it different from slavery in the Bible? How did the Mosaic laws on slavery compare to other nations in the Ancient Near…

Dear Friend: To Those Choosing to Abstain or Vote 3rd Party in 2024

2024 Presidential Election, abortion, Abraham Lincoln, Apologetics, Christianity, Democrat, get out the vote, Gospel, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, Politics, Republican, Robert Gagnon, slavery, voting, www.FreeThinkingMinistries.com

Editor’s Note: This post from Dr. Robert A.J. Gagnon was originally posted on October 14, 2024 at FreeThinking Ministries, in the form of an open letter to everyone who is tempted to abstain from voting in the 2024 election. We’ve tried to preserve that format here at CrossExamined. Dear friend who is inclined not to cast a vote for either Harris or Trump, I agree that Trump deserves criticism for his weakened stance on abortion. His position on abortion has probably changed for the worse since coming to the conclusion that he can’t get elected by holding a consistently pro-life position. But consider Abraham Lincoln in the 1860 election. Even Lincoln was not a declared abolitionist in 1860 (and also by our standards today a racist). He couldn’t have been…
