During the second diaspora The romans determined to solve the jewish problem once and for all destroyed the temple, enslaved everyone they could catch (rather desultrily) and shipped them back to rome. In this group were early christians (remember that only Jews could become christians until the apostle paul came and changed all the rules, different rant) so the christians were indeed slaves in behavior and outlook the point of Andrew's comment.


I was thinking we had different views of "slavery". I viewed a slave as unable to travel or move around the country, and most of the early apostles were able to do that, so that was part of my confusion. Thanks for explaining that.
