I explain how God regulated practices like slavery and divorce (Matthew 19) without approving of them, because He deals with a fallen, sinful world.</p><p>This episode tackles tough questions head-on:</p><p><br></p><p>Was biblical slavery actually \"a job\" with protections?</p><p>How do Levitical laws apply (or not apply) to modern society?</p><p>Why does God regulate evil instead of instantly abolishing it?</p><p><br></p><p>If you've ever been challenged on slavery in the Bible, this one is for you. Honest, biblical, and unapologetic.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Avg Joe"}
