Regarding "slavery" I was thinking about something: First of all, we must take into account that unbelievers are slaves to sin. And sometimes (not all the times, granted) those who are slaves to sin seek out slavery in all areas of life, in terms of the welfare state, lack of responsibility, refusing to take dominion under God, etc.

So before we even get to the indentured servitude question (which is what biblical slavery really is and what Chilton is advocating), we need to address real spiritual issues of slavery today, and its practical consequences.
