Postmillenialism and Slavery

Kingdom Polemics

This episode of Kingdom Polemics is a re-broadcast of a Sermon by Sr. Pastor Aldo Leon given on the 6th of October. Pastor Aldo dives deep into the biblical and theological perspectives on slavery, emphasizing the incompatibility of this institution with the Kingdom of God. Drawing from Ephesians 6:5-9 and a broad spectrum of Scripture, Aldo examines how God's redemptive work through Christ challenges societal norms, transforms relationships, and redefines liberty in the context of His Kingdom. Whether confronting modern ideologies or historical practices, this episode sheds light on the biblical truths that underpin freedom, justice, and dominion under God's sovereign rule.

Episode Highlights:

• Slavery in Biblical Context: An exploration of slavery in the Roman Empire versus the transatlantic slave trade, and how Paul's instructions in Ephesians 6 are not an endorsement but a reflection of God's redemptive work in a fallen world.
• God's Creation Mandate: Theological foundations showing that humans, as image-bearers, are created to have dominion over creation, not over one another.
• Judgment and Slavery: A discussion on slavery as a judgment for sin, demonstrating its inconsistency with God's redemptive purposes.
• The Gospel's Power to Liberate: How the spiritual liberty offered in Christ translates into societal and political freedom, rejecting both woke ideologies and overly permissive traditionalist views.
• Practical Theology: Insights into how Christians today can reflect Christ's liberating work in their homes, churches, and broader society.
