Yes.As just one example, in John 20 19-20, Jesus greets his disciples with the word 'peace':" 19On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!" 20After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.

No. The Bible never says a person should become a slave based on the color of his/her skin. There were instances of slavery in the Bible, but there were laws that told how long a person could be kept a slave and also the Bible said slave owners were to be kind to their slaves, not beat them and mistreat them. There were people in the US in slavery times that believed they were justified by the Bible, but they should have read the whole thing, including how the Bible says to love others. In Bible times slavery often had to do with financial debt, and in that case would end when the debt was paid. The book of Philemon deals with a slave that had run away, but had also become a Christian during that time. The Bible tells his former owner to receive him not as a slave, but as a brother in Christ.Philemon 1:15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;Philemon 1:16 Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?
