I have always thought the word 'Slavery' was a very bad choice. Just like being Saved©, at a point in a persons life, they make a choice.
I have many fine employees. Sadly, they all have made poor choices in life. Being a True Christian™ man, I reach out to the down trodden refuse and do what I can. It would be wrong for me to give them a handout. It would be wrong for me to give a starving man a heaping plate of beef stew. It would be wrong to let a destitute family, even one with a female about to give birth, free shelter from the night. What decent man could hold his head up knowing he was a worthless beggar. No, I reach out to the unwashed, give them food, shelter and a job. To help in regaining self respect and the respect of Jesus, I loan the resources (and yes, money too) so the people are not leeches on the teat of others. All I ask in return is the person pay me back before they leave my plantation. Sadly, so many of these people are so lazy that they pay me for a weeks rent, food and clothing service and owe more than they earned. A few have run off only to have the Vengeance of the Holy Ghost come upon them, often by accidental drowning in the swamp or falling off a cliff.
Little pleases me more than when a families son, offers to assume the debt of the father. That is responsibility. At that point, I know my efforts to spread the Love of Jesus® is working.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
