Lincoln is revered as the man who stopped slavery in America. Actually the slavery of man was stopped at the Bill of Rights which was the finishing touch on the constitution of the United States. Slavery had been with mankind for as long as history records. Slavery as an institution would have died out as it did in England but patience is a hard to endure virtue when one lives in a free country. So Lincoln and his zealots deemed it appropriate to toss all of us into slavery of the state. What had been achieved by the founders was no longer of value. Slavery would have died a slow death as provided by the Bill of Rights. All men have been endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights and eventually when the black man was considered a “man” then freedom would follow. But Lincoln would have none of it and he jailed those politicians and journalists that disagreed with his policies and renewed the supremacy of the state over the individual rights of a man. In America men were in a unique position to throw off the shackles of the absolute control by the elite. The civil war cost this country the lives of 620 thousand fathers, brothers, and sons. Imagine for a moment the number of women who became widows, the children who were now fatherless, the brokenness that government control brings. Lincoln laid the groundwork for the left to implement Darwinian and Marxist ideas into our previously free country. Now today we have relentless pursuit by the state to control our every day lives. We have race problems because the state initiated the freedom of black men instead of waiting for the changed hearts of slave owners. Jesus Christ never spoke against slavery but only spoke about the condition of the heart. The Bible says the heart is deceptively wicked and who can know their own heart? That is why He said that you need to be born again and have your mind renewed daily. It takes much patience to pray for peace. But prayer is our only option as violence ensues the other choices.
