Arkansas State Rep: ‘If Slavery Were So God-Awful, Why Didn’t Jesus Or Paul Condemn It?’

... If slavery were so God-awful, why didn’t Jesus or Paul condemn it, why was it in the Constitution and why wasn’t there a war before 1861?

The South has always stood by the Constitution and limited government. When one attacks the Confederate Battle Flag, he is certainly denouncing these principles of government as well as Christianity.

Nowhere in the Holy Bible have I found a word of condemnation for the operation of slavery, Old or New Testament. If slavery was so bad, why didn’t Jesus, Paul or the prophets say something?

This country already lionizes Wehrmacht leaders. They go by the names of Lincoln, Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Custer, etc. These Marxists not only destroyed the Constitution they were sworn to uphold, but apostatized the word of God. Either these depraved infidels or the Constitution and Scriptures are in error. I’m more persuaded by the word of God.

Jesus condemned the attitudes and income disparities intrinsic to slavery as well as to much of modern day economic realities, especially those near and dear to the likes of Romney. "Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye so even unto them"! "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of the needle than for a rich man to enter heaven." Jesus admonished his would-be followers to give away all that they had to the poor. Mormonism helps to give Romney cover by shifting the focus from the clear and un-ambiguous messages of Jesus Christ in the gospels to the more wealth sympathetic writings of the Mormon church prophet.

I give this moron from the GOP credit for at least being willing to verbalize publicly that which so many of them support privately. He is just too stupid to understand that it is unseemly to actually acknowledge it for the record!

Your gonna have to reference that one, you could be right but I only recall him telling that one guy that as a test of sorts.

I must say your attempt to drag Romney into your sermon seemed a little crass and disingenuous. Obama has done pretty good for himself, why not compare the two if what other people donate is so high on your evaluation of politicians?

Yes, this thread has nothing to do with Romney or LDS.

It's Arkansas. You know, Tyson's Chicken and Wlamart. Who cares what some member of the state legislature says about anything?

This is election season, is it not? And Romney is the standard bearer for the GOP, with this buffoon being a 'down-ticket' member of that same party. And one of the central issues of this current election season centers around income disparity and issues of economic justice or injustice.

I find Romney's donations to his church, (which uses precious little of its income for what most would consider aiding those less fortunate) while qualifying as tax-deductible, is hardly the same as charitable giving!

Mostly. We can afford to be. We have it all.

That statement does not remotely resemble the truth, and I'm an Obama supporter.

There is no need to malign the LDS with lies over an election. They do it to Islam, we do not need to stoop to that level.

Then why is it that the only people left in California are hippies and illegals? Everyone else has left.

Please stop insulting me. I do not wish to report your misconduct to the authorities but I will if you leave me no choice.

Well, I suppose if you consider as charity their efforts to proselytize word-wide as well as influence domestic issues like opposing gay marriage! My definition of charity does not include such things.

You are continuing to lie about the LDS. Please stop.
