I don't understand one of your conclusions. In Colossians Paul still maintains the structural relationship between masters and slaves (he doesn't call for it to be abolished) but does command them to relate to one another differently as far as their disposition and attitudes. Why do you say his letter to Philemon is calling for the abolition of his status as a slave? Isn't the point in this letter and in Colossians that no matter your status in life we still have a responsibility to God? Is there any evidence that Philemon understood Pauls letter to be an appeal to free his slaves? If everyone acts like a Christian in whatever structure is in society doesn't that solve the problem anyway?

Jesus lead me here. I had never read Philemon before or even really heard it preached on. I am currently cultivating discipline through Christ Jesus to read my bible daily and wanted to start with chapters I hadn't read. Decided to watch a video to see what it was about before reading and now I am sitting here laughing at just how wonderful and glorious our Lord is in His gracious convictions. En route to forgiving someone now lol, will still read this book tonight. Thank you for the video!

Beautiful testimony, thanks for sharing.

I was awakened by a very bad dream this morning and found myself drowsily running my fingers in the pages of my Bible and then I saw this chapter. After reading the whole text, I knew that it meant something important more than what I just read. Now this video really helped me, and the message that it has is very relevant to my current situation. I feel blessed for I know that what just happened is the work God's Holy Spirit. May the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Thank your for reading my testimony, also sorry for my bad grammar.

My grandpa went to be with the Lord recently, it’s been a few weeks. Today the Lord lead me to this book. My grandpa’s name is Filemón (Philemon in Spanish). What a beautiful book. Holy Spirit gave me a revelation about the scripture that says “it seems you lost Onesimus for a little while so you have have him forever”. Gives me encouragement that I will see my grandpa again. 🤍 I love you Grandpa Filemón De La Torre 🤍 I will see you again.

I’m making adjustments in life so that I can use an RV to travel the several thousand miles to park near each of my kids’ homes so I’m available to my grandkids and hopefully establish a loving relationship with each of them. I hope when I pass, they will have the same kind of love for me as you speak of for your Grandpa.

I love this, I read Philemon 3 times in the last week praying for revelation and understanding, and I did not pick up on ANY of this lol. I’m glad to have this KZread channel as a resource

Whenever he said that Koinonia meant sharing, it blew my mind. I was acting in a Christian musical called Camp Koinonia several years ago and I thought it was a made up word. It perfectly matches the theme of the story we acted out in the play. So cool!

Kpinonia is a very interesting word. It can imply a common effort. It can be translated as a union, and is even used in both pagan and Christian literature to describe the intimate union that is marriage. We share koinonia in the Church because we are intimately united as members of the Body of Christ whose head is Christ. And the Church, of which we are members, is the Bride of Christ.

You watch these videos at work is very important if people see how deeply they affect you emotionally and spiritually it will be amazing (though if you would rather not cry at work I understand lol)

I appreciate the Bible Project for creating such compelling videos with animation. A friend of mine who is an atheist finds these videos quite fascinating when I share them with him. We engage in quite a few conversations concerning Christian Theology and the biblical texts. He takes more of a pragmatic and historical approach while I take more of a theological and philosophical approach to the text. We are both literalist in our interpretation of the text.

I literally just learned how to pronounce it. I thought it was phil-eh-mon

We can't wait to study this in our small group later this week. Thank you for beautiful outline of what appears to be a simple letter but is truly the Gospel in action!

Thank you so much for your summaries of the books of the Bible. They are just AWESOME.

This is amazing. The artwork and drawings must've taken a long time. I really appreciate this because I am a visual learner and doesn't like to read. This is really intuitive and encourages me to dive into scriptures more deeply. Thank you!

It’s 2020 my bible was open to THIS this morning. WOW does it speak to what is going on today.

this is what it means to be BROTHERS AND SISTERS💯

I just want to thank @The Bible Project - I'd been struggling to understand the relevance of Philemon for a long time. Your video explained the relevance and allegorical nature of the book and opened my eyes to why it was included. Thank you for the amazing work you guys do!

Thank you for clearly explaining scripture.

Amen And God Bless You And Anyone That Reads This ❤

Philemon makes a whole lot more sense after watching this, thank you. Awesome art.

WOW can't stop watching your videos. They are amazing, and this massage from Paul is outstanding. Thank you for doing such great work. Peace from Israel

It brings me much joy knowing that there are brothers like you using your gifts for the furtherance of His kingdom. Continue the good work!!!

Thank you for the indepth illustrative presentation which has left an indelible mark about this small island of Crete and the lessons that emanate from this letter of Paul

This was simply amazing! You guys do such great work! If only churches would teach this right now, we could’ve had hearts ready to receive healing in the Spirit for America! 🙏🏾🙏🏼❤️

Thanks to your videos I understand each book of the Bible deeper! I never thought this is what the Book of Philemon is all about! God bless you more!!!

Thank you guys so much for these videos! They really help add a lot of insight into the letters we read in the Bible.

I was struggling also. One of the shortest letters but difficult to follow at first. At least for me. I just finished reading it for the second time this week. Now i've watched the video to get some context. Now I will go back and read it again😊

Praise the LORD, Paul shows the character of Jesus amd filemon as well. Beautiful lesson

So so so so thankful for these videos! I've started watching them before I read each book/chapter and it has deepened my Bible study more than anything else I've tried 😊

OH WONDERFUL...AND SO UNDERATED😭.WHAT A BEAUTIFUL STATEMENT

Thank you guys! These videos are Awesome, im dyslexic and they really help me understand the bible better. God Bless The Bible Project!!

This is by far the best teaching system to teach the Bible. Actually the gentlemen is using the system of Memory Palace using lineal logic. So if you use this system and Memory Palace together you will become a Prolific Student of the Bible. Hopefully you will pass from student to teacher. Student learns from teacher. A disciple passes from student to teacher. Go ye into all the world and teach the gospel. Making disciples not students. Excellent teaching brother.

This is SO good. Many times we read (or half read) scripture and accept that it is intended to teach us something. So we pick out the parts we understand (perhaps!) and with which we are comfortable. Then we disregard the rest and the fact that it is intended for humans and describes human conditions which are familiar to us. In this case we have actual characters to consider so we are able to see the teaching in action and may be able to apply it to our own lives in 21st century. Thank you Blessings and peace to the videoe makers and to all who watch it

I'm in amazement, this is the very FIRST TIME, I'm seeing the book of Philemon in such an amazing way, WOW.

this is now acc one of my favourite letters!!! . love it more now that I understand the meaning behind the letter. 😍❤️🙏🏾 This is the shortest book yet has one of the most deepest meaning.

This was beautiful. I'm starting to dig this 'Paul' guy. He was a lot smarter than I remember. Thanks again.

If I hadn't watched this video, I would've had no clue what Philemon was all about and skimmed over it as a short letter. Thanks!

Beautifully explained.

This was so awesome that I looked at it over and over. I got it! A very powerful message.🙏🏽

What a special book... it's written for a very specific situation involving only 2 people, whereas Paul's other letters are addressed to whole churches but of course Paul still manages to pack in the gospel truth and lays out why reconciliation is needed even though the law and societal hierarchy at that time mandated something else. Onesimus must have been very special to Paul but also it's awesome to see God's love in and attention to the details of our lives.

I Learned something new today thank you brothers and sisters at the Bible project

I had a friend asking about the Bible’s relationship to slavery just yesterday and this video autoplayed off of the Titus overview (which also talks about bondservants)! God always has timely answers for us.

Very well explained + illustrated👍 Many thanks for the overview .🙏

This letter demonstrates the love Jesus has for us. I love it

This is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for taking the time to do this work.

Hello there, I've seen a couple of these videos and I find them so refreshing. It's a different approach altogether, and I really appreciate the efforts invested to share the gospel visually in a simplified manner. You're doing a wonderful job, keep it up!!

The name Onesimus in Greek means "Useful", so in verse 11 Paul is actually using a clever play on words. Great video!
