Inkfeather132 quote- Ephesians 6:5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ

Firstly, the word 'servant' translated from Greek is 'doulos' and can mean either a slave, servant, or bond-servant (similar to indentured servant).
Secondly, Paul listed slave-traders among bad hombres-
"..law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers......for slave traders....." (1 Tim 1:9)
And Moses bust an Egyptian slave-drivers ass- "He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. Glancing this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand" (Exodus 2:11)

TheBeardedDude quote- Telling people that they should be more committed to a cult leader than their own personal identity isn't progressive or forward-thinking

Paul was quite clear that people should follow Jesus and not him, which speaks volumes for Paul's decency and credibility..
