i used the kjv because i like it, but i haven't found anybody who disputes that it's
slaves that he means and is specified in other translations.
if jesus was so caring and thought we should all be kind to each other and consider everybody to be equal, why didn't he condemn slavery in spite of the prevailing attitude of the time?
you can separate love and hate. one's kissy kissy and the other's punchy punchy
