That is not how Genesis 9:25 was traditionally interpreted throughout history. The church fathers understood this to be a prophecy about the descendants of Canaan and their subjugation, not a racial curse on all of Hams descendants or justification for race based slavery. In patristic thought, any “servitude” was tied to specific historical judgment and sin, not immutable racial destiny. Such racialized readings (associating Ham/Canaan with dark skin and perpetual chattel slavery) emerged prominently in medieval and especially post-15th-century contexts with the transatlantic slave trade. It's as I said, slavery in the Bible wasn't anything remotely like chattel slavery which was purely race based. It was a result of debt, war, and sin.
“You are condemning to slavery human beings whose nature is free and characterised by free will. You are making laws that rival the law of God… How can people be sold who have dominion over the earth?… For how many obols did you value the image of God?” (St Gregory of Nyssa”
In the NT, the “bondservant” practice of the 1st century is nothing like what we think of when we say, “slave” (i.e. where you take someone captive and force them into labor.)
That kind of slavery is explicitly condemned in the Bible. The kind of servitude seen over the Bible is indentured servitude which served as a way to pay off debts and was not based on race.
“Anyone who kidnaps another and sells him must be put to death” (Ex. 21:16).
Or, in 1 Tim 1:8–10 Paul puts slave traders in the same category as those who kill their parents, adulterers, perjurers, and perverts.
Christ himself through the incarnation became a bond servant (Philippians 2:7)
@ArminHoering@thelameduck1483 No they’ll be in heaven (Acts 10:34) (Rev 7:9) as God accepts any man from any nation. You demons will spend eternity in a racially segregated hell for this believing this heretical “Christian identity” nonsense.
This image is a strawman. The core pro-life claim isn’t “it looks like a human, therefore it is.” It’s based on biology. A human fetus is a member of the species Homo sapiens at an early developmental stage. Species membership is determined by genetics/DNA, not external appearance at a snapshot in time.
