By today's society moral compass, slavery is viewed as immoral. Yet in the Bible, slavery is not only practice, but slaves were instructed to obey their masters and in the occasional situation, slavery was COMMANDED by God.

Have we now assumed for ourselves a belief that we now posses a greater moral understanding than God? If we are now free to "reinterpret" the moral teachings of the Bible, isn't is now also possible for us to alter our positions on other moral issues?

Nice thread hijacking tc ...

The thread talks about the "ghost" 13th amendment which would have essentially enshrined slavery into our Constitution. It also refers to the actual 13th amendment which prohibited slavery. Ultimately, slavery, pro or con, is a morals issue.

I fail to see how soliciting comments on moral interpretation is "hijacking" the thread.
