Ephesians 6:5 - "Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ."

1 Peter 2:18 - “Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the cruel.”

Deuteronomy 22:28-29 - "If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay her father fifty shekels[a] of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives."

Inb4 out of context.

Nah, this book is literally the word of God. Slaves, you better obey your masters with respect and fear, even the cruel stuff, and ladies, if you get raped by a man, you get paid 50 silver but you gotta marry him forever and never get divorced.

Word of God, yo.

I have no problem with those verses, they serve a purpose, just like all of scripture.

Christians have misinterpreted scripture in the past to support heinous acts?
