Bible Trivia: I'm a Slave 4 U

In Luke 12:47-49, Jesus mentions that rebellious slaves will:

A:  be masters in the next life

B:  be welcomed into god's kingdom

C:  be beaten lightly

D:  be beaten heavily


 listen up, because my dad isn't playing around here

 ANSWER:  D

47 The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows. 48 But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.

Jesus was ok with slavery.  Most people don't know this.


about that...

 He explains that people that fail to do right will be punished, but people unaware of their misdeeds won't be punished as hard.


 How hard is "hard?"

 Exodus 21

 20 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21 but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property.

wow, that's brutal

Let's just remember who is saying to beat your slaves only to the level which they deserve it.
