    Many Americans believe the divine wisdom and devoted to Gods holy word; as it provides purpose and give stability to their lives. In Mark Noll’s book entitled The Civil War as a Theological Crisis, the religious leaders of that time leading up to the Civil War were unable to provide answers to some of the most difficult question of that era; does the Bible condone or does the Bible condemn slavery? Americans were at odds over the understanding of God’s divine word as both Northern and Southerners tried to find meaning on this war and what Gods role was in it. How could either side claim to have the support of God through his word for their position? Clashes over the interpretation of the Bible on slavery were matched during the era of the Civil

    They were forced to endure the harsher philosophies presented in bible that gave the slave owner’s their religious backing to treat their slaves in any manner that they found fitting. They only selected the passages in the bible that promoted the continuance of slavery and demanded obedience from their slaves, “ʺHe that knoweth his master’s will, and doeth it not, shall be beaten with many stripes” (Douglass 1207). The slaves were taught the Christian doctrine to reiterate their sole purpose in live was to be obedient to their owners. It was apparent to Douglass, however, that his masters hid behind their religion to secure their superiority and be reaffirm that a higher power sanctioned the atrocious acts of humiliation and cruelty, “I have said my master found religious sanction for his cruelty” (1207). This highlights the duality of the Christian doctrine where they preach kindness to all, yet still condone treating slaves as subhuman chattel.

    He uses religious metaphors to emphasize that Americans need to resist the vast and well-equipped oppressors such as the time when Moses parted the Red Sea and the people were left with no choice but to either cross the parted sea and close upon their “pursuers, or a life and death struggle will ensue between oppressors and oppressed - between those who would destroy and enslave and those who are seeking to enter into the inheritance prepared for them by a beneficent Father” (795). Weaver emphasises that currently in society, men have been reduced to slaves who are victims of corporate feudal powers and unless the common people do not acknowledge this slave relationship to the corporations, then more chaos will ensue. We, as human beings of God, should know through our history and past experience to steer clear of this danger by resisting the vast and well-equipped oppressors. This religious metaphor takes inspiration from Providentialism with the idea that Americans are living in a biblical epic and hence must act as moral agents for the sake of furthering God’s plan. Therefore, this biblical language and tone are familiar to Americans, therefore, easier for Americans to digest.

  • Frederick Douglass And Religion Analysis

    Though a Christian nation, American’s practices and believes are not consistent to Bible’s laws and commandment. Douglass argues that “the existence of slavery in this country brands republicanism as a sham, humanity as a base pretence, and Christianity as lie” (35), meaning that America is a nation of “inconsistencies.” Though they call themselves Christians, their religion is nothing but a lie as they do not follow God’s commandment of piety, they are full of pride, insolence and vices. He further argues that the “national inconsistencies… saps the foundation of religion” since it “shelters crimes” (35) against humanity. However, he does do that to ridicule Americans, rather he does it to emphasize the inconsistence amongst American believes and practices.

    It clearly outlines our obligation to care for the poor in general. Biblically, God says, in Deuteronomy 15:11, “11 There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore I command you to be openhanded toward your fellow Israelites who are poor and needy in your land.” The beauty of this Scripture teaches us through experience that caring for the poor is a moral assessment of whether our faith is biblical and unpretentious. Caring for the poor is an ethical responsibility for which we will all be held accountable - if we do not seek to help the poor as we have been commanded by God.

  • Euthyphro's Dilemma Vs Divine Command Theory

    123 Words  | 1 Pages

    Euthyphro’s Dilemma is when Socrates asks Euthyphro, “Does God love goodness because it is good, or is it good because God loves it?” Euthyphro’s Dilemma is that God determines what is good and evil, right and wrong. This dilemma challenges the Divine Command theory because according to Euthyphro’s Dilemma we would be obligated to do something wrong because God commanded it. This conflicts with the Divine Command theory because it would imply that cruelty could be morally right if God told us to do so. The idea that cruelty can be morally right goes up against the belief in the Divine Command Theory because it proposes that an action's status that is morally good is equivalent to whether it is commanded by God
