HOw to refute People who say Christians started Slavery

1) Ask him for how long did Slavery last in Africa? He will ignorantly say about 400 years, tell him to the face that he is lying, slavery was begun by Arabs in East Africa as early as 652 AD and lasted for 1390 years…It’s still ongoing in some forms in the Islamic world till now. European slave ships didn’t arrive in Africa till the 14th century and lasted for just 300 years. Arab slavery predated European slave trade by more than 900 and lasted for extra 370 years after the white man abolished slavery from its lands.

2) Ask him how was slavery eventually abolished and outlawed, he will have no answer. Educate him that Christians missionaries led by William Wilberforce and many others fought and fought, charterd ships to roam the high seas to intercept slave ships and free the slaves.

3) Mention a couple of Christian missionaries names to him and challenge him to show you any historical evidence that shows any of them were involved in slavery? He can’t give a single evidence.

4) Ask him to show you a single African traditional government that stood or fought against slave trade, he can’t mention a single one.

5) Ask him whether he is aware Arab Muslims enslaved and castrated hundreds of millions of Africans, he will be confused, show him the evidence.

6) Ask him whether he is aware Europeans didn’t even bring Christianity to Africa, the first officially declared Christian country in the 1st century was Ethiopia an African country, he will this time be dumb.

7) Ask him whether he is aware had it not been Christian missionaries, Africans themselves and Arab Muslims would have still been enslaving and castrating blacks in 2019? He will be confused, show him evidence of black slaves in Yemen,Saudi Arabia and Mauritania in 2019.

Please use this knowledge, you will save a soul from anti Christian deception.
Thank you.
