Ancient Israel - "We want slaves!"
God - "Okay . . .here's the rules. . .no whipping, beating, or any other form of abuse. No tattoo, branding(like cattle), or other markings on their bodies to indicate they are a slave. You are to dress and feed them You are to give them proper shelter. Slaves must paid a bit and after awhile if they want to leave you have to abide by the decision."
Ancient Israel - "But. . .that sounds like 'employees'!"
God - "NEVER FORGET YOU USED TO BE SLAVES AND WHAT I DID TO EGYPT FOR HOW THEY TREATED YOU! DO YOU BELIEVE I'D LET EVER LET YOU GET AWAY WITH WHAT EGYPT DID TO YOUR ANCESTORS!"
Ancient Israel - "No. . .Lord. . ."

He did not condemn slavery, just like he did not specifically condemn homosexuality, and yet both have been condemned as wrong. One is a social institution, the other is a sexual proclivity. Acknowledging the existence of slavery is not the same as condoning it.

Nope, this is being taken out of context by the mods and others here that the quote used (Mathew 26:11) against this, that the first part means that his disciples will always have slaves

"For you will always have the poor, but you will not always have me"
Jesus is saying that they will be taking care of the poor, but not him, since he wouldn't be around, and he said this to Judas, who verbally attacked someone named Mary for using nice oils on his feet instead of for the poor (he really only cared about the money that he could get from it)

Yeah, cool.
Anyways, not sure the significance of that to anything, but absolutely no connection to the two false claims your meme made.

it was unsubmitted because apperantly that verse is saying that they would always have slaves

well then, how exactly is this false? See the letter to Philemon

Are you vaguely aware of what your meme says?

Here, allow me to assist:

"Just a quick thing on the Early Church and slaves
When Jesus was around, he condemned slavery and that all people were made equal"

And the title:

"Just saying because I see some say here that Jesus and the Early Church had no problem with slavery"

False, false, &........................ false

Your point about the title? Its because people like you think because that the Confederates or whatever group had Christians, that meant that Jesus and the Church had no problem with slavery/ liked it

Not meme, not my title.

Are you vaguely aware that you are the OP of the OP meme?
Or would this make more sense in Russian?

I am aware that its my meme and my title

I don't get the point you just made about the title and the text, like, what point are you making that somehow falsifies what I am saying?
