So when Lincoln was calling for the passage of an amendment to keep slavery forever, he was going against God?
You do know that Lincoln didn't' believe in God? He was an atheist, and was in a large part anti-Christian.
He said some things in the 1850s that would have guaranteed he never became President, if the Christian public had only heard about it.
Some have said that Lincoln was born again in office. Regardless GOD uses ungodly people all the time. Stonewall Jackson, I belive was a true beliver, but GOD removed him from the fight at the time he did, and Jackson bowedbefore GOD’S Sovereignty.
