“God did not look so kindly on the Slave Power rebelling and starting a war to protect their “property” and “peculiar institution” of slavery.”
Interesting post with religious implications. Seems like you have thought this through. Can you tell me if Jesus was wrong not to have spoken against slavery?
Actually, He did. "Love your neighbor as yourself."
How would you like being a chattel slave?
But are you certain that He didn't?
Have you studied your Bible carefully enough to know it's full judgment on slavery?
Do you suppose God brought the children of Israel out of Egypt because He thought slavery for them was a good thing?
No? Really?
And do you presume that Jesus held a different opinion on slavery than God His Father?
FRiend, don't trifle with me.
And don't trifle with God.
Study your Bible and you will know the utter condemnation that God holds toward enslaving His people.
