yeah that's one of the reasons I'm not Christian because
the Bible condones slavery which is immoral
Sorry to hear your view about God, an seem you blame God.
Slavery Is a Modern Problem.
The truth is, more people are in slavery today than at any time in history.
And while most are forced into hard labor in sweatshops or fields, an estimated 1.75 million
worldwide are sexual objects who are purchased, sold, used and discarded—for customers’
pleasure and for slave holders’ profit.
If you watch porn, you could be helping slavery.
If you buy cheep goods to save money, you could be helping slavery.
First, the painful reality is that you might personally be contributing to this scourge!
You need to understand why it happens. You need to understand what creates the demand
that these slave traffickers supply. Modern slavery is so widespread that if you personally
aren’t contributing to it, then one or more of your neighbors down the street probably is.

Most of today’s slaves reside in Asia and Africa. But in the United States, for example,
7,565 cases of trafficking and enslavement were reported just in the year 2016, well over
one third more than the year before. The Justice Department estimates that the number
of sex slaves in America is a staggering 300,000.

Are You to Blame?
Not long ago, people had to exert some effort in order to view pornography. Now a person
has to exert effort not to view it. Pornography websites receive more visitors each week
than Netflix, Amazon and Twitter combined. In fact, over 30 percent of all data transferred
across the Web is pornography. The sobering truth is that anyone who uses pornography
is ultimately contributing to the demand for sex slaves.
A Sick Society
The booming slave trade within our “modern,” “enlightened,” “sophisticated” and “free” society
teaches a stark lesson to those who will acknowledge the truth: Mankind is simply incapable of
solving its own problems. As Proverbs 14:12 says, “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man,
but the end thereof are the ways of death.”
Christ did promise to return in power and glory, and that at that time He will obliterate injustice!
Psalm 12:5 records God saying, “I have seen violence done to the helpless and I have heard the
groans of the poor. Now I will rise up to rescue them, as they have longed for me to do” .
Psalm 72:4, God says He will “save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.”

“And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour: And they made their lives bitter
with hard bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service,
wherein they made them serve, was with rigour. … [A]nd the children of Israel sighed by reason of
the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage” Ex 1:13-14; 2:23
The Israelites had no freedom. Their lives were at the mercy of their taskmasters. They cried out
for freedom! Jesus said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, every one who commits sin is a slave to sin”
Many people have a habit they know is bad, and they feel guilty. They wish they could stop.
But no matter how hard they try, they just cannot overcome it. Why? Because they have been
overcome by it! And the truth is, they are actually enslaved by it. This is what Peter means by
saying, “Whatever overcomes a man, to that he is enslaved.”
