This ephesians business is nonesense, the bible is clearly saying that

we are servants of God, METAPHORICALLY
. Or did you actually think that we were going to be serving god his red wine in heaven on a silver plate?
Are you saying that certain parts of the Bible are nonsense? And if so, who decides that something is nonsense or good sense?


Furthermore, no Bible-scholar in the world--including the hippy-dippy ones, would claim that the verse in Ephesians is metaphorical.


Thanks to Jesus' Salvation, many slaves were made free from sin along with their masters. The Apostle Paul was directed by the Holy Spirit to write what he did in order to help new believers to preserve social order amongst themselves.


If Jesus wanted owners to free their slaves, He would have said: "Folks, free your slaves." This is something He never said, because He was much more concerned with people's souls than their socio-economic status.


Now, in Galatians 3:38, Paul writes that there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female in the body of Christ. That was clearly metaphorical, because men and women didn't suddenly morph into weird asexual beings.


As for slavery, nobody suddenly morphed into a "free person" either. All the day-to-day, social and economic realities continued on in the world just as it was before Jesus came to live among humankind.


The changes that took place were in the spiritual realm seen by God. Practical changes in status and flesh will have to wait until we are tranformed before God in Heaven.


The only reason that you think slavery is wrong is that you were taught that in school. During the time of the Gospels and the following Epistles, nobody except disgruntled slaves thought that. Paul's writings were directed at curbing the disgruntledness, not at freeing anybody from slavery.


His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
