This is soooo good!!! Why am I just now seeing this 😱

[@WTG194]

what was the difference between William Wilberforce and this Edwards chap? The Spirit leads man, edwards theology leads him

[@BronzeLincolns81]

it would have been really helpful to hear direct interaction with the texts in the bible that condone slavery(ie eph 5:6, col 3:22, 1 tim 6:1, etc) as well as some info on how exactly Johnathan Edwards treated his slaves.

[@praiseyahweh6159]

The transatlantic slave trade was condemned in Scripture. The scripture condemn man stealing in which what happened.

[@BronzeLincolns81]

Muckbio less Correct, but what these gentlemen in the video are talking about is any type of slavery, even slavery that is within the laws of slavery in scripture. Did Jonathon Edwards participate in man-stealing or lawful slave owning practices?

[@praiseyahweh6159]

+Yudo NeidaNo Yes he did.

[@BronzeLincolns81]

Muckbio less If that is truly the case then Mr. Edwards would have been guilty of man-stealing. Still, this is not really what the speakers are referring to. They want to condemn slavery under any circumstances or make slavery and man-stealing synonymous, neither of which i see biblical support for.

[@praiseyahweh6159]

+Muckbio less He participated in men stealing, that was the case. He didn't go to Africa and participated but, he accepted, preached for it, and profited. I believe he was grossly wrong but, I still read his books because he was a great theologian.
