Article says "Children could also be sold into debt bondage" and provides a reference to Leviticus 25:44 which is "As for the male and female slaves whom you may have, it is from the nations around you that you may acquire male and female slaves."

This verse does not appear to support the claim in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bcostley (talk • contribs) 05:47, 29 August 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The Section on America makes it seem like Abolitionism started with the Quakers in 1688 and starts it's Baptist timeline in the 1830s. Roger Williams opposed Slavery and banned it in Rhode Island from the start.--JaredMithrandir (talk) 17:23, 4 January 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Being aware an act is wrong (according the law) and doing it anyway is widely used definition of moral defect.

If (according past laws of the United States) it was wrong to help a runaway slave, and I yet did I could be held as "morally defective" under the law.

How was that 138.185.76.149 (talk) 03:01, 26 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Won’t it be more accurate to say that slavery was permitted and accepted by the the church and christianity or at least mainstream christianity until the 18-19th century instead of saying “varied historically” ?

And what does “varied spiritually” even mean ? Ikhnatoun (talk) 11:58, 24 December 2022 (UTC) <--- blocked sock of User:Amr.elmowaledReply[reply]
