Hey, all I've done is let you know that the Ten Copmmandments says you can't work on Sunday and neither can your slaves.

Don't fight me, go read your Bible.

The old testament provided a structure of how to treat one's slaves. Many people in the South didn't adhere to those principles, but then again many DID and they go completely unrecognized. Of course, these who did treat their slaves according to the principles of the old testament, freed them in the spirit of the New Testament where all christians are brothers in the LORD (see Philemon sp?). Slave masters who were kind to their slaves, and saw their slaves living out the model of Christ, found it hard pressed to keep owning them. Many were freed.

The commandment you are referring to is the 4th commandment.Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. The sabbath day of the Old Testament, and New Testament is the day we call saturday today not sunday.

If you can't get that right, how do you except any creditability when you talk about slavery?
