“all the people who are found in it shall do forced labor for you and shall serve you.”Bad translation and wrong application. “And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then it shall be, that all the people that is found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee.”~Deu. 20:11 Gill’s Commentary:
“and they shall serve thee; not as slaves, or be in continual bondage and servitude; but upon occasion be called out to any public service, as joining them against their enemies, rebuilding palaces and cities, or repairing walls of cities, and the like; and in general acknowledge their dominion over them, and their own subjection to them, by paying an annual tribute, or sending gifts unto them; thus the Moabites, Syrians, and Edomites, became the servants of David, 2Sa 8:2.” “ slavery (in the right context) is taught in the Bible”
Wrong. By that logic, Polygamy is also “taught” in the Bible. |

“Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, **for menstealers**, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;” ~1 Timothy 1:9-10
Gill’s Commentary:
“...for men stealers; who decoyed servants or free men, and stole them away, and sold them for slaves; see the laws against this practice, and the punishment such were liable to, in Ex 21:16. This practice was condemned by the Flavian law among the Romans i, and was not allowed of among the Grecians k; the death with which such were punished was strangling, according to the Jews”Knowingly funding a murderer’s enterprise, makes you guilty of murder. Purchasing stolen men from a man-stealer (be they Yankee, Dutch, or African) makes you guilty of man-stealing. Do you think the current slave-trade is acceptable??? |

(John 8:32), @Adriel,
I'm not skilled enough to split hairs.  It isn't free unless all doctors and pencil pushers are working for free. Is the healthcare part of your taxes optional? I didn't think so. Some could call that being forced. This article puts things in perspective about the crisis over there: www.telegraph.co.uk/news/health/news/11974620/Quality-of-NHS-care-is-poor-to-mediocre-compared-to-other-developed-nations-OECD-warns.html. There are several root problems with a single-payer system. 1. God did not create government to manage healthcare, the governments jurisdiction is to punish evil-doers. 2. Single-payer systems take away your right to choose by forcing you to buy a product (healthcare) at whatever price they demand (which is higher since there isnt competition and additional pencil pushers are required to tell you what treatment options you're allowed). This creates a lack of incentive to provide good care because there's no competition. 3. Single-payer systems force people to pay for other people's abortions, gender transitions, assisted suicide, etc. Not a penny of taxpayer money should go towards such things as they're morally reprehensible. |

(John 8:32), @Adriel,
First off, the woman and her husband you mentioned didn't receive their care for "nothing" as you put it. The government forced taxpayers such as themselves (and others who werent using their health care) to pay for it with higher tax rates. We can't use a single story to uphold our view of healthcare, as I could easily find and site other stories of people not receiving care and dying because of it (like the 20% of colon cancer cases I sited earlier). Our views must be supported by the actual numbers. In the UK, only 84% of patients in the Emergency Room are seen within 4 hours, while in the US, 95% of patients are seen within 3 hours. While an 11% difference may not seem big, it is huge when you realize that America has a much larger population, a lower ratio of healthcare workers to other workers, and 20% of hospital admissions require ER intensive care in the U.S., vs. only 2% in the UK.....

I know no one in my family ever dreamed we’d be living out a real live version of “The Emperor has no Clothes”! That poor baby needs lots of prayer! |

Quick recap- you say that King George III wasn’t a tyrannt. So far, you have provided as primary source proof one sentence from PM William Pitt devoid of context that could be taken multiple ways. Over against that we have actual Acts of Parliament documenting their abuse of the Colonies. If you happen to choose to engage in an actual extensive primary source study of the time period, you will also find that those opposing the Colonies’ independence also documented some of the abuses outlined in the Declaration. Very few things are as historically certain- we’re not dealing with ancient Egyptian history here. Legislation, personal diaries, private and public letters, contemporary sermons, speeches given on both sides of the issue, newspaper articles, military reports, and 1st and 2nd generation histories are all freely available on the internet, and some of us have choosen to actually read them for ourselves.
At the end of the day, the origin of the “reason” the Colonies seperated from GB, was because God had Soveriegnly willed it so since before time began. Psalms 2 applies here- no mortal conspiracy could have provided the fog that enabled Washington to flee New York, and no secret society orchastrated the multitude of war-altering providences evident thro |

(John 8:32), And why are people so surprised when the bubble blowing safe spacers dont want to get a real job? I agree with the joke about a new video game title: Call of Duty: Get a Job. |

“doctrinal slant should not necessary disqualify a source immediately;”
I agree! First, though, one must consider- an Anabaptist will never consider any conflict justified, due to their belief in pacifism. Thus, the conclusion is pre-determined regardless of facts. And, if you’ll notice, that was not the only (or even main) objection I have to his work. After you mentioned him, I took the time to read the first few chapters of the book on Amazon. First, he broad-brushes the colonists as “Christians” even though not all of them even remotely claimed to be so. He then proceeds to provide only the most egregious examples of injustice perpetrated by individuals, and again, broad-brushes entire colonies with the blame. Any history of fallen, depraved, people will enclude examples of fallen, depraved actions. (We definitely needed the Great Awakening!) But Praise the Lord, there are also magnificent examples of actions motivated by His redemptive grace in human hearts! To ignore this, is to falsify the story of God’s providence over the centuries. Yes, John Rolfe cultivated tabacco (which is not a sin, BTW)- but the author fails to mention Rolfe’s work sharing the Gospel with Native Americans!
Thus, I’m really not likely to invest in that particular book. |

@B. Mc. Thank you, but I’ve read some of his work before, and do not consider him a trustworthy source. Not sure if you’re aware, but based on a year long “historical study”, he also teaches that the doctrines of grace are an unbiblical corruption of what the early church fathers believed! His approach to history is not only Anabaptistly slanted, but logically sloppy and full of broad assertions. As I said, I prefer primary source material vs. modern books sprinkled with partial quotes!
At any rate, the question remains- Is it tyranny for a King to demand that his subjects break the law, and submit to unlawful authority? Are Charters and Covenants binding on both parties, or can the King lawfully ignore them?@I.E. Back then, the word “Constitution” was commonly used to reference whatever “established form of government in a State, Kingdom, or Country” was currently in existance. For example, in the pamphlet from 1772 I linked to earlier, Dr. Warren repeatedly refers to “our Constitution” when describing Massachusetts’ colonial system of government! @Everyone- Happy Independence Day!!! |

“King George III was the first monarch to rule by ministers.”Yet that didn’t absolve him of responsibility for the actions of those representing him. We appealed to him time and again. Instead of correcting the abuses and upholding the law; he instead sent British Regulars to be quartered in our houses, and hired foreign mercenaries. Add to that the repeated dissolving of our courts and legislative bodies, deprivation of trial by jury, the issuance of general warrants, insighting the Indian Nations against us, confiscating our means of defence from the Indians, and cutting off our trade with all other countries. How can any society function under those circumstances? We had a choice- surrender our rights as Englishmen, and accept the total breakdown of society or establish a new system of government. Personally, I prefer primary source material. However kind George III may have been to his subjects in GB; he was, either by negligence, insanity, or intention, a tyrant to us!
You may wish to read this pamphlet by Dr. Joseph Warren from March 5,1772:
