Slavery

Calling the Nations to repentance- this website is for a mature public The Verdict Be Born Again

It is written: “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” -2 Corinthians 3:17

"[Live] as free people, [yet] without employing your freedom as a pretext for wickedness; but [live at all times] as servants of God." -1 Timothy 2:16 Amplified Bible "You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness." -Romans 6:18

“The victory for freedom of thought recorded in our Bill of Rights recognizes that in the domain of conscience there is a moral power higher than the State. Throughout the ages, men have suffered death rather than subordinate their allegiance to God to the authority of the State. Freedom of religion guaranteed by the First Amendment is the product of that struggle.” Supreme Court of the United States, Girouard v. US, April 22, 1946

“The framers of the [American] Constitution firmly believed in government under law. They wanted to protect the country from tyranny in any form. They believed that a misguided majority might be as dangerous to good government under law as a privileged minority or a power mad dictator.” Rise of the American Nation, HBJ– Used at Otter Valley Union High School Brandon, Vermont)

"The Christian’s primary allegiance is always to Jesus Christ. Christians proclaim Him Lord, recognize Him as their legitimate King, and live as citizens of His kingdom first and foremost. The demands of human government are always secondary to the demands of Christ and His Kingdom—as the lives of countless martyrs and the persecuted church past and present attest." -Chuck Colson: www.breakpoint.org

"The rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God." -President John F. Kennedy (1961). If there is no God, your rights cannot come from anywhere else except from the "generosity of the State". The State, then, becomes the new god. And what ever the State "giveth," the State can "taketh awayeth". ...Thus Communism teaches that citizens exist for Government's benefit; whereas America's founders believed that Government existed for the citizens' benefit. Without God, government transitions from being the policeman protecting your property to a police state owning your property. Without God, government transitions from being your servant to your master.

Theocracy- Deity as supreme ruler. "The eternal God..." -Deut. 33:27

100% rule by man < Jesus Christ’s rule (theocracy) > 100% freedom

Slavery and lawlessness is either of two things; that is, 100% rule by man (Secularism/irreligious: Tyranny, despotism, fascism, totalitarianism; read Mark 10: 42-44), and 100% freedom (lawlessness- unbridled, uncontrolled by law; anarchy- no government, no law, disorder, confusion; read Galations 5:19-21; the man of sin). Let us break the chains of bondage and return to the LORD! Who says that you do not have a voice in a theocracy?... as if the "powers to be" in a democracy really hear your voice.

The sinful tendency of man is to usurp and supplant (deny) the throne of Almighty God. The following forms of government are of human origin; are experimental and destined to fail:

Democracy- people/ elected agents; Monarchy- king or emperor; Aristocracy- privileged upper class; Oligarchy- power is vested in a few persons; Plutocracy-wealthy class rules

Theocracy v. Democracy

“In 1995 the Communist party, renamed The Bulgarian Socialist Party, was voted back into power. By the fall of 1997, hunger and suffering in Bulgaria hit a critical point. Widespread street demonstrations demanded the socialist government be replaced.” Page 26- Cold Winds, Warm Hearts- The Church of the Nazarene in Bulgaria, Teanna Sunberg copyright 2010

“I have long been convinced that our enemies have made it an Object to eradicate from the minds of the People in general a Sense of true Religion and Virtue.” -Samuel Adams

"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are Free! " -Johann W. von Goeth (1749-1832)

"Man will ultimately be governed by God or by tyrants"
-Benjamin Franklin

"Private property and freedom are inseparable." - George Washington

True Servant/Master

"If you are working (subjugated) under a governmental system that you do not whole heartedly pledge your life allegiance to (beliefs, labors, etc.), you are probably an economic slave, or you are on your way to becoming one." -Thomas H. Millington, Ambassador II Cor.5:20, Ambassador to Jerusalem

Free. Not subject to legal constraint to another. Unconstrained; having power to follow the dictates of own will. Not Subject to the domination of another. Not compelled to involuntary servitude; used in this sense as opposed to "slave." -Black's Law Dictionary, 6th Edition

"For he who was a slave when he was called by the Lord is the Lord's freedman; similarly, he who was a free man when he was called is Christ's slave. You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men. -1 Corinthians 7:22, 23

LEARN FROM THE MINNOW TRAP!

It's easy for a minnow (symbolically think of the minnow as yourself in this illustration) to get into the minnow trap because of the funnel cone ends, but try getting out through the tiny opening that is so easily disguised! Although it is possible to escape, it is very unlikely. The fisherman who baits for minnows obviously understands this trap- it is highly effective. Likewise, the American manmade political government with its political laws and Acts, "peace treaties," contracts, etc. supposedly in the name of freedom is nothing more than bait in a trap to uneducated, unlearned people to occupy them from cradle to grave! The only way out of the hands of evil regimes created by man is to turn to Jesus- A theocracy. AntiChrist

It is written: "For they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of sinful human nature, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error. They promise them freedom while they themselves are slaves to depravity- for a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him." -2 Peter 2:19

Remember Moses, let my people GO? Pharaoh did not want the Israelites to establish their own land, but in the end it cost Pharaoh his entire army- those that persecuted God's chosen people.

"For this is what the LORD says: 'You were sold for nothing, and without money you will be redeemed.'" -Isaiah 52:3

"It may be hard to imagine, but at the time of [Biblical] Moses every nation on earth depended on slave labor. Regardless of the politics or economics pursued by governments, the Lord created the first FREE nation when he stripped Egypt of its slavery. He is the ultimate Deliverer." –Reinhard Bonnke, Christ for All Nations

“Exodus records the dramatic confrontation of Moses and Pharaoh, the crossing of the Red Sea, the journey to Mount Sinai and the two major events at Sinai- the giving of the law and the construction of the tabernacle. The book shows how God took an unorganized group of slaves and welded them together as a theocratic nation, i.e., a nation ruled by God. -KJV, Zondervan, © 1994

The concept of white men enslaving blacks is merely a start in understanding slavery. Other examples of slavery include the "sex trafficking" whereby young women are forced into prostitution. Article 4 in the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights captures the full extent of slavery: "No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms." This includes tyrannical governments! (Article 15)

"A slave is a human being who is legally not a person but a thing." -Abraham Lincoln's lost speech 29 May 1856; Quotationary, Leonard Frank

"The great strength of the totalitarian state is that it forces those who fear it to imitate it." -Adolph Hitler

Threat Duress Coercion

It is written: "Since the children have flesh and blood, he too [Jesus] shared in their humility so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death- that is the devil- and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death." -Hebrews 2:14
