Proverbs 12:9 states, "Better is he that is lightly esteemed and hath a servant, Than he that honoreth himself, and lacketh bread".
Leopold II implemented a forced labour system in the Congo that was quickly copied by other European colonial powers. This brutal practice was a catastrophe for the population of the Congo, and Leopold was eventually forced to give up his hold on the colony. Leopold 11 was part of the Catholic Church; below are his letters on how to enslave people of color using European misconceptions of the bible. Click blow this line to read Leopold 11 letters.
Slavery is the ownership of a person as property, especially in regards to their labor. Slavery typically involves compulsory work, with the slave's location of work and residence dictated by the party that holds them in bondage. The thing about slavery it is the works of labor. Good deeds, and kindness, are not slavery but the works of the spirit. A Slave Master act of labor that puts a person in bondage is the acts of the flesh.
Matthew 5:21-22: States "You have heard that it was said to our people long ago, 'You must not murder anyone. Anyone who murders another will be judged'"
Galatians 5:19–21 states, “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God”
If your slave master who put you in bondage possesses these traits, you are not the slave, The slave master is the slave internally. Don’t be fooled even if they claim God.
1 John 3:7-9 states little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning.
For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
Matthew 7:15-19 states beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
The word of God does not do evil it. Remember John 10:10 states. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
I want you to that principalities in high places" is a phrase from Ephesians 6:12 in the Bible, which states, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places".
The reason for this post is for it to never happen again in the future. What they did in history affects people of color today. Note: This is not the way or character of God.
But again "If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you". Jesus said this to warn his disciples that they would face persecution, similar to how he had, because the world hated his message and his actions. Jesus was persecuted for speaking with authority, exposing the world, and judging hidden motives. The world also hated the message of the cross, which includes the idea that people are completely dependent on Christ John 15:20.
Without Christ, you are a slave to your sinful flesh.
