Is Christianity Inherently Supportive Of Slavery And Misogyny?

[Thumpalumpacus]

tackattack made the very good point that the ‘PSA: Rape Apologetics’ is veering off topic. Since this goes against both the spirit and the letter of [Serious] threads, feel free to have that discussion here.

My answer: yup.

Slavery, misogyny and other unjust acts or mankind's inhumanity to mankind stem from the generative heart of mankind since the fall! 

“The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?" - Jeremiah 17:9

The aforementioned practices exist to this very day and have been and are perpetuated by a variety of people. "Before Kingdoms Can Change… Men's Hearts Must Change"

Human mistreatment of humans notwithstanding, GOD does not command injustice... He is the GOD of truth, love, justice, mercy! As time has progressed the record has been set straighter still and we are to "love our neighbors as ourselves" (Matthew 22:35-39), no matter what lot/station we have in life.  

Theoretically, if everyone did/were able to do this... whether one were the server or the served... would there be the extent of mistreatment and exploitation there is/has been? There is recognition that because of the human condition these "relationships" will arise - but there is to be mutual respect, not mistreatment, exploitation and murder! So no, the Holy Bible does not "support" such things, as we have evidently seen them done throughout history!

Look at the perpetrator/s of the injustice and their hearts (if one can) and thus, their personal motives...

Some of the what the Holy Bible harmoniously and pertinently states on the subject! (though there's more - for more intricate discussion):

“You shall neither mistreat a stranger nor oppress him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt." - Exodus 22:21 (Old Testament)

"Masters, give your bondservants what is just and fair, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven." - Colossians 4:1 (New Testament)

These verses alone prohibit - particularly anyone who professes the CHRIST - from mistreating anyone who may be found in such a situation or otherwise.
