In this episode, I rant about Al Mohler’s repentance from what was clearly the biblical position on the morality of slavery to one that is approved by pagan culture. Now that the pagans know that Mohler values their opinions of him, my guess is this only the beginning. At least Jonathan Merritt has hinted that he is coming after Mohler on other issues.

“The number of slaves who were kidnapped in Africa and brought over is infinitesimally small.” Am I hearing that correctly?
You are hearing that correctly. The number is ~5%. So, let’s not allow folks to paint a false narrative of what actually happened. By the way, while slavery was put to an end here, Africans are still practicing it to this day.
I guess I’m not following you, here. Are you saying that 95% of the slaves taken to the Americas came willingly or made some sort of deal to get out of debt?
No. I am saying that less than 5% of slaves were actually kidnapped persons from Africa. 95%+ were already slaves in Africa. It is not the case that Africans were sold into slavery. The overwhelming majority were already in slavery for a variety of reasons. My issue here is the uncritical acceptance of modern pagan morality. If you can’t defend the Bible’s position on slavery, your Christianity is going to crumble. Brick by brick, modern pagans are dismantling the Church’s final authority for faith and practice.
