It appears, from my worldview, that Paul is being passive aggressive with Philemon to receive Onesimus (I could force you, but... You owe me your own self...)...
That said, if he WAS being passive aggressive (and passive aggressive is a sin/wrong), then does that not also call into question Paul as a person/human who has sin? And then, how do we know his sin didnt creep in? In other words:
Does the sinful nature of Paul/NT writers creep in and distort the books they wrote?
