We are all slaves to something. But being a slave for Christ is the freest you can be. For whom the Son sets free is free indeed! <3

Jesus indeed wash feet and served others, but HE was free to do so. HE led by example, not in oppression. Even in the worst moments, HIS choices were HIS own. Indifferent to a slave.

While I appreciate your attempt to explain the Good News -- and in an excellent media -- I would greatly challenge you as a Bible teacher, to go back and re-examine the scriptures upon which you've terribly misinterpreted. Stick to the scriptural account: There is no credible evidence that Onesimus was a 'runaway' slave. Nor that he stole anything. Nor that he needed 'forgiveness' -- it simply is not in the written account. Instead, Paul (could have commanded, but instead) requested manumission. Paul's conditional "if" phrases (guided by the Holy Spirit) were not untruthful -- he knew of no such obligations nor offenses. Please consider pulling this video which perpetuates the heretical meme propagated through the centuries.
