		<description><![CDATA[You need to check the book you are condemning and stop parrotting things people have told you - check things out for yourself  
 
Does the Bible condemn slavery or enslavement? - certainly it does 
 
Old Testament Law 
 
Exodus 21:16  And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death. 
 
Deuteronomy 24:7  If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from among you. 
 
 
New Testament 
 
1 Timothy 1:8-10 
8  But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; 
9  Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 
10  For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; 
 
Notice menstealers are included with  &quot;the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, 
 
True, the Bible does not say thou shalt not have a slave - but there are Biblical laws in place that condemns certain types of slavery. 
 
There are instances in the Bible where people sold themselves into slavery and if you check carefully there are other types as well.

		<description><![CDATA[Heck yes, that whole apologizing for slavery was absurd. Imagine being sorry that your church helped to enslave other human beings. After all, the bible does not condemn it so why should they be sorry they helped promote it?  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I hope you&#039;re right. Luter seems caught up in what I like to call &quot;The Last Days Madness&quot; and I&#039;m hoping he doesn&#039;t start advocating &quot;social justice&quot; instead of a return to Biblical principles. We need more Southern Baptists like Tom Ascol, Richard Barcellos, Albert Mohler, Paul Washer, and Voddie Baucham leading our denomination. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a Southern Baptist, we needed to apologize for our support of slavery. &quot;If your brother has aught against you, leave the altar and reconcile with your brother.&quot; That said, I&#039;ll never support comprehensive immigration reform or ordination equality.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lord, forgive us for fighting among ourselves.  Your last prayer for us on earth was for us to be in unity in the spirit.  Their exists divisions amond the family of God.  Their is hatred and contempt between brothers and sisters in the faith.  How it must grieve your heart.  Help us to be poor in Spirit and pure in heart. As you said, &quot;May they know we are Christians by our love.&quot; May that come to be what identifies us here on earth. Owning other people as property is sin, using that sin to put one race above another is sin, unforgiveness is sin, using unforgiveness to be hypocritical is a sin.  None of us have it right.  Only God is perfectly right.  But because of Jesus we can be perfectly righteous.  And then we can love like He does--unconditionally.    ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve been to many Baptist churches in my state that has far more entertainment than any word of God being taught, These same Baptist churches supported homosexuality, abortion and many other sins, because they teach you are forgiven of all your future sins after your salvation and can&#039;t lose your salvation no matter what you do. It doesn&#039;t matter that Southern Baptist have an African American leader, but their teachings will continue to bring down the church, states, America and leave many people&#039;s blood on their hands on judgment day.   ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My prayer is that they put Rev. Luter in this position because he was the best man for the job, because he had strong biblical beliefs, and because he was doing something for The Lord - I shudder to think that the convention is becoming politically correct. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[However, what you say has been happening for many years in all denominations. There is too much entertainment and not enough Bible Doctrine taught in our churches and for lack of knowledge of His Word we will fail as a nation just like Israel did as a priest - client nation. 
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. 
Because you have rejected knowledge, 
I also will reject you from being My priest. (No longer His Client Nation) 
Since you have forgotten the law of your God,  
I also will forget your children. 
The Assyrians destroyed Israel 721 BC. We are close to destruction today.
