It is sometimes disturbing to me how quiet Paul was concerning social injustices. I believe that Paul spoke out against homosexuality because he had cultural support for his stance, and did not speak out against slavery for the same reason. I think he found both to be wrong, but he was definitely not a “liberation theologian.” He did not want to mix the core message of the gospel with political agendas.

That being said, wherever Christianity has spread, freedom has spread (eventually).
