Re: Brief mention of Noll on the Civil War.
If a wiccan told me I should stop beating my wife because I am hurting a daughter of Maia? Give me a break!
Slavery in North America was based on man-stealing, which was a capital offense.
We are all very good at rationalizing our sinning by our “superior” exegesis.
Sorry for the rant.
P.S. Vermont (where I live) qualifies statistically as an “unreached people” because of the low % of Evangelicals here. Interestingly, Vermont declared a state of hostility against the south before the U.S. In a broadly analogous way, perhaps the North took the role of Babylon in raining destruction on the South. (Not that I would identify our country with God’s chosen nation.)
Nobody is arguing that slavery wasn’t (and isn’t) wrong. We were echoing Noll’s case that the reason slavery proliferating for so long under a supposed biblical warrant was due to the lack of a decent exegetical case on behalf of the North.
