Guest: Jesse Johnson. The word "slave" has been replaced in English translations of the Bible for the word "servant" or "bond servant." Yet the Greek word "doulos" means slave and not a servant. Today Jesse Johnson explains why the translations, including the King James versions have this wrong. What is the difference between a slave and a servant? What is the difference between a slave in early America and a slave in the Old Testament? Why would slavery in America have been outlawed and opposed by all Christians if they understood what the Bible says about slavery in the Old Testament? Liberals falsely claim that the Bible approves of the slavery that was in America. How is this lie used to undermine the Bible in other areas? What does a proper understanding of the Biblical definition of a slave have to do with the gospel? Topic: We take your calls.
