Comments by "michael" (@michaeld4861) on "3 Justifications for Scriptural Slavery – Debunked" video.
It's funny how they keep saying the Trans-Atlantic slave trade and the slavery condoned in the bible were different. But I've read many books where the two overlap. For instance, slaves where transported by the priests to and from Japan in the 1500-1600's hence the persecution of Christianity throughout Japan from the 1600's onward. Because Tokugawa realized that his people were being kidnapped by the church and taken from Japan to be sold overseas, not to mention the pope had declared Japan as the territory of the Spanish (I believe) when he split up the rights to the 'undiscovered territories'. If someone comes into your country and tells you they own the whole place unbeknownst to you and your government and tries to take over and also starts enslaving your people, you'd kick them out by force as well. lol Also, Father Valignano actually gifted Nobunaga an african slave named Yasuke.
