The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Justifications, no, just emphasizes that slaves just need to deal with it even if their owner beats them. Could have said to not own slaves, but nope, passively endorses/normalizes slavery.
1 Corinthians 7:21-23 AMP
[21] Were you a slave when you were called? Do not worry about that [since your status as a believer is equal to that of a freeborn believer]; but if you are able to gain your freedom, do that. [22] For he who was a slave when he was called in the Lord is a freedman of the Lord, likewise he who was free when he was called is a slave of Christ. [23] You were bought with a price [a precious price paid by Christ]; do not become slaves to men [but to Christ].
The Bible identifies slavery as a reality and teaches people how to deal with their situation. That's what Chrisianity IS. Teaching Christians how to deal with their situation emphasizing faith in God as pivotal because this world ultimately doesn't matter. The Bible is not a revolutionary book, that gives them a guide on how to rise up against the slave owning class. Jesus wasn't Marx.
If you are interested in critiquing the Bible you should consider reading up on it. Fwiw I'm not even Christian, but i also don't like it when atheists make poor arguments trying to "debunk" the Bible. There are much easier points to stand behind than "The NT endorses slavery" which isn't as clear cut as the old testament.
