Where did I say that?
Quantrill
i don't know, am asking if this is the case?
Well, if I never said it then it isn't the case.
Quantrill
Why? Did Jesus tell you that?
Quantrill
unless you used different words that mean essentially the same thing?
Robert Paxton, a professor emeritus of social science at Columbia University in New York who is widely considered the father of fascism studies, defined fascism as "a form of political practice distinctive to the 20th century that arouses popular enthusiasm by sophisticated propaganda techniques for an anti-liberal, anti-socialist, violently exclusionary, expansionist nationalist agenda."

Jesus did not put any law in place that prohibits freedom of speech.
Neither did He put any law in place outlawing slavery. What now?
Quantrill
Hard to believe you can even make a comparison.
Race-based, chattel slavery of your beloved south in no way compares to slavery in ancient Rome, however even then slavery was wrong.
Neither did Jesus tell the Israelite or disciples to rebel against Rome but you seem okay with preaching rebellion.
Oh, so you want to make an argument from silence, but no one else can. I see.

this 'thread' has definitely become something else than about 'slavery', dig deep and know your enemy,
and then ask your Saviour to put His Words into your mouth, or else, please, just keep silent...
wondering if this is possible???
In the life of the born again believer there is no place for supremacy.
Since I am tired of stating the obvious to you......here it is stately perfectly and succinctly.
You absolutely have no case biblically and it is a shame that you persist in your white supremacist view as this is outside of present day conservatism as well.
“You shall not oppress your neighbor . . . . You shall do no injustice in court. You shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great, but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor. . . . You shall not hate your brother in your heart, . . . lest you incur sin because of him. . . . but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD” (Lev 19:13-18). Neighbor love, then, according to God’s moral law, exemplified in the fifth through tenth commandments, calls for impartial kindness and justice to be shown to all, an equal concern for the well-being of others. Moses grounds this behavior in God’s character (Leviticus 19:3, 4, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18) and our responsibility as believers to imitate him “You shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy” (Leviticus 19:2). And this neighbor love was not reserved for Israelites only.
Moses explicitly extends it to foreigners: “When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God” (Leviticus 19:33-34).
Racism is the denial of the image of God (Genesis 1:26, 27) and its implications to someone of another ethnicity. Racism in the church is a contradiction of the visible unity of all believers in Christ (Ephesians 2:11-22, Revelation 5:9, 7:9). Racism inside and outside the church is a contradiction of Jesus’ command to love our neighbor as ourselves (Mark 12:31, Luke 10:25-37, esp. 29, 37), and of God’s creation of all people in his image (Genesis 1:27, Acts 17:26). So theologically, racism entails a denial of the biblical doctrines of creation, man, the communion of saints and is disobedience to the moral law.
We will not mince words. Racism is not only sin, serious sin, it is heresy.

There was no silence on slavery. It is completely antithetical to the first two commandments of God which Jesus upheld.
