Paul puts the screws to Philemon in the letter, and the context is clearly that Paul wants the slave set free.....




The other thing I think I should point out is that we dare not ***ume that just because something is not addressed in the bible with the very same wording we are seeking that this somehow means the Bible has nothing to teach on a topic.
An example would be getting drunk and driving a car the wrong way on the road.
Does any Bible author clearly come out and condemn driving drunk on the wrong side of the road?.....no.

But we cant then ***ume that the Bible must agree with the practice of driving a car drunk just because we cant find it as clearly talked about as some person requests.

The context of the New Test is clearly that owning a slave is harmful and that if a slave gets a chance to be free he should take it, and that to be a good Christian a slave owner should allow his slaves to go free.

This is the teachings of the Bible, and it is true....
