And none of that excuses anyone involved in enslaving human beings.

Including America with imported domestic slavery.

Mexicans don't work for free.

And none of that excuses anyone involved in enslaving human beings.

Slavery was rationalized a number of different ways throughout history.

 

[Oddball]

No it doesn't.

But if you know anything about the OP, which you obviously don't, the only slavery that is of any historical importance and relevance is that which occurred in 19th century America.

You are talking to the mirror.

You won't find many on this site that approve what the British did to us.

I had ancestors who endeavored to help with that...

Slavery was and is a terrible thing. In the US alone, the struggle to end it cost 600K military dead alone.
Throughout the Americas slavery didn't end until the Spanish and Portuguese were overthrown.

newp...You don't know jack schitt about the OP, and it shows.

 

[jacksonlamb]

Yes, you are.

The phrase “Common Wealth Bible” appears to be used symbolically or rhetorically, perhaps as a way to frame moral or political arguments about America’s heritage and ethics, rather than referring to an actual printed Bible edition.

I'm not following you.

You said they were Christian, i am assuring you they were not real Christians.

Sort of like Democrats saying real Christians can't be Republicans or Republicans saying that real Christians can't be Democrats?

All real Christians serve the same God Israel served=YHWH(Jehovah) a single being God, The trinity does not exist making them false religions thus are NOT Christian.

You must belong to one of those weird churches.

I really do not think thes so called right wing "Christians" understand the depth of what their ancestors have done.

THE COMMONWEALTH BIBLE

The Commonwealth Bible is “The Slave Bible”.

In its original form, “The Slave Bible” was intended for use as a primer for teaching slaves how to read, and for missionaries to introduce Christianity in British colonies that are now part of the Commonwealth of Nations. It had more limited use in the United States. It was compiled in 1807, three years after the slave revolt in Haiti, 27 years before British slaves became “apprentices”, 33 years before that transitional phase was eliminated in British colonies, and 58 years before slavery in the United States was ended. Inducing “theophobia” was its primary goal. By instilling the fear of God’s wrath in their converts, slave owners and the governments that supported the missionaries could shape those converts to their own advantage. Because it was feared that their contents could provoke rebellion, 957 of the 1189 chapters of the traditional Bible were not included. Many chapters and verses in the included books were also omitted.


Some of your ancestors altered the bible to justify the enslavement of other human beings.

What a stupid effort. They should have just let them 'negros' remain ignorant and not teach them to read. Problem solved. Your welcome for whites teaching them ignorant slaves, your ancestors, how to read.

Plus, it's a stupid effort because the Bible is all about slavery. You don't need to remove things, you just need to leave it alone and believe what it says. Which begs the question...do you believe what it says?

Whoever mutilated the Bible with the Commonwealth Bible were clueless. Whoever wrote the article about it is clueless. And you are clueless trying to use the article against Christians.
