I had been considering a similar post, but I will take all of SlimJim’s work and re-share it. It is easier on me.
Christ’s Church is not European, though Europe was the central launch point for centuries. Like said in many of these points, so much of the Bible is against the slavery and tyranny seen in many of the colonizing nations. It was the truth of the Gospel that eventually led to some of the most powerful empires and societies eventually denouncing slavery and tyranny.
Just a couple extra cents’ worth of my thoughts.
Do we truly love the Lord our God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strengths? Maybe I can help with the mind part, at least! This is Daniel M. Klem, apparent poet, reluctant yet passionate Disciple (Peter?), and foolish man attempting to understand theology!
Good further thoughts added to this
