The that gives me a few questions.
Does that make slavery defensible?
Did the Confederate government or any of the Slave state governments codify the Biblical instructions on slavery?
Was Biblical slavery racially based?
Do the terms Old Covenant and New Covenant mean anything to you?
And finally, is there any feature of the Confederacy that you would not defend to the point of absurdity?
1. Yes and No....Yes, if you go strictly by the scripture.
No...if you go by standards of morality. You were saying the Bible was opposed to slavery. It isn't.
2. Not that I know of, but a good source of how they were treated can be found in "Gone with the Wind" by Margaret Mitchell.....Plantation owners who mistreated slaves were shunned and ostracized by their peers. In some states, if a slave was killed due to maltreatment, it was a criminal offense.
3. No, but that has nothing to do with it.
4.They mean plenty, but St. Paul was under the "New Covenant", and he was the one who wrote of treatment of slaves.
5. Last question is totally ludicrous. Not everything the Confedracy did was perfect. And I don't nor ever have stated such.
I will state again: The losses of our Republic, and to our freedom, and the amount of lives, do not justify what was done by Lincoln and company.
