I mean, there’s still shit like the promotion of slavery, stoning of gays, and subjugation of women that would lead us into a lot of the same issues we’re having today; but without the plethora of other to keep us all distracted, we’d probably have made a lot more progress against even those remaining few.
That is a lie. Acknowledging that it’s happening is addressing it. Addressing the slaves directly and telling them to be obedient is promoting it.
The Bible does the latter.
Put those instructions in any other context: if I told the kids trafficked to Epstein’s island to give Trump the best blowjob they could, would I be addressing pedophilia or promoting it? If you were being chased by a man wielding a knife, and I told you to stop running and just let him stab you to death, would I be addressing murder, or promoting it? If I told my political representatives to keep sending bombs to Israel for them to continue turning Gaza into a crater, would I be addressing genocide, or promoting it?
Masters, do the same to them, and stop your threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and that there is no partiality with him.
Doesn’t sound like Trump/Epstein, knife wielding, or bombing gazans behaviour to me.
1 Timothy 1:8-11 ESV
Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully, understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, in accordance with the gospel of the glory of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted.
I think society would be pretty good if the people who identified as Christian actually acted accordingly

So, better, but still not good.
The Bible doesn’t promote slavery or the subjugation of women, the stonings are the old levitical law.
Than wtf is this shit? https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Eph+6%3A5-9%3B+Col+3%3A22-4%3A1%3B+1+Tim+6%3A1-2%3B+Tit+2%3A9-10%3B+1+Pet+2%3A18-20&version=NRSVUE
That’s not promoting slavery. It’s addressing slavery that’s already happening.
Also worth mentioning this isn’t like chattel slavery
Ah, because if the slavery is in the now, it’s OK.
Promoting slavery that’s actively happening is still promoting slavery.
It’s addressing it. Not promoting it.
That is a lie. Acknowledging that it’s happening is addressing it. Addressing the slaves directly and telling them to be obedient is promoting it.

The Bible advocates for some evil shit.
Ephesians 6:9 ESV
Doesn’t sound like Trump/Epstein, knife wielding, or bombing gazans behaviour to me.
