chapter 00

Paul does his usual rhetoric of push and pull and therefore just do what I ask of you for Christ Sake.

And he is asking Philemon to take back Oneimus who is a slave that ran away. Met Paul, was saved and wanted to be a happy slave and fellow Christian.

Today it would be similar to quitting a shitty job in the one big factory in town, Charles Dickens come to mind with ‘Hard Times’, and realizing that you can’t afford to pay rent or feed your wife and children. So you hope the prick that owns the factory will give you your shitty job back.

Which he usually won’t because there are other desperate workers who won’t get the notion to ever once in their life disobey the boss. For the boss is Lord. And the Lord that controls who gets to eat is the Lord that needs no sword.

Paul. It was nice to travel through your thoughts. I am surprised that I have learned to love you.

Go fuck yourself.

For the love of Christ Jesus.
