        It’s actually a message that all are welcome to be baptized, but people love to quote it out of context for the issue du jour.

      The message was that Christian’s shouldn’t look down on slaves or see them as any lesser. I see it as calling people to act as John Brown, to not only free the slaves but to look at them as one’s full equals

        Except for all the verses on how to properly punish and manage your slaves as well as detailing how slaves must serve their masters.

        The book has a detailed record of how it considers slaves different from people.
