We have been taught in government schools that slavery is evil. But the Bible (the unerring, perfect WORD OF GOD). Teaches otherwise. All races have been enslaved. It’s only a sin if the slaves are mistreated.

A freeman deprived of his freedom is by definition being mistreated. Slavery is evil. Don't misappropriate Scripture to say otherwise.

Exodus is all about freedom from slavery. When one engages in sinful behavior he becomes a slave to sin. "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin." (John 8:34)

Jesus Christ taught us servant leadership, and He became our suffering servant by His own choice.

Jesus Christ is all about freedom.

"You shall know the TRUTH and the TRUTH shall set you free." (John 8:32)

Your position endorsing slavery is completely estranged from the Truth you pretend claim.

FReegards!

I never “endorsed” slavery. I merely pointed out that the Confederacy was not evil. It was fighting to preserve their way of life.

Maybe it was a way of life most people would disapprove of nowadays. But slavery has existed for eons and scripture does not denounced it in every case.

King David was a slave owner and was praised by God.
