How did Christian slave owners justify slavery?

Acton Media's seventh short video from their new documentary The Birth of Freedom features Susan Wise Bauer, author of The History of the Ancient World. She addresses the question, "How did Christian slave owners justify slavery?", describing how slave owners operated under a false (prescriptive instead of descriptive) understanding of the New Testament's teaching concerning slavery.

@milleziano And that is why you are Mr. Circular Logic.

[milleziano]

@tomtomttom Yes, it does answer your questions. Maybe, you're not satisfied with the answer given, but this is book.

[tomtomttom]

@milleziano I will call you Mr. Circular Logic from now on.

[tomtomttom]

That doesn't answer any of my questions. Mr. circle logic.

[milleziano]

@tomtomttom  Well, that;t easy John 1:1

[tomtomttom]

@milleziano Alright Mr. Bible expert, who wrote the original bible. Was it written down while jesus was alive or was it written down 70 years later by people who never even witnessed him? Prove that it was Jesus or one of his direct disciples that witnessed him that saw the whole bible, at least the whole new testament.

the old and new testicles both endorse and condone slavery.

[milleziano]

@tomtomttom Fill me in, please.

@milleziano It's funny you can claim the bible is divine and have no clue who wrote it. 

[milleziano]

@tomtomttom Whatever you say, buddy. Just know you'll have to give an account for the things you've said and done like all of us. It's funny how you can proclaim the Biloe is a myth and you probably don't even have a clue as to what's written in the Bible. Oh well, Phil 2:12
