Paul did not undermine the legitimacy of slavery, because he sent Onesimus back to his slave-master, Philemon, with a personal request that Philemon not punish Onesimus too harshly for having escaped. Paul did not ask Philemon to free Onesimus, nor did he ask Philemon not to punish him for escaping. He simply stated that Onesimus had been useful to him and asked Philemon to take that into account before meting out punishment. Nothing in all this undermined the legitimacy of slavery.
Thank God for the word.👏🏼🙌🏼

Amen 🙏
Be slaves of Christ, not self. Thank you Lord for saving even a sinner like me.
Jesus lives ♥️ and is God 🙏🏻 Christ ✝️ and King 👑
