I hold God to a higher standardits foolish to judge people who lived 200 years ago by today's standards of right and wrong. in the 1700s most of the world believed that slavery was acceptable. Today we believe otherwise.
In the 1400s most people believed that evil vapors caused pneumonia and that blood letting would cure it. Today we know better.
If you want to judge people in history you need to use the morals and ethics of the time that they lived.
I expect him to know that holding another human as property is wrong
Regardless of the time period
I agree, we are not talking about what God thinks. We are talking about what the people of the time believed. But I guess that whole line of thought is beyond your simple mind.
Actually, we were talking about what God thinks

Wrong, the earlier posts were discussing the FACT that our constitution was based on Judeo/Christian principles and that founders recognized God as the giver of all good things.
Secondarliy we were talking about the morals and ethics of the time, and that they differ from the morals and ethics of today. Miley Cyrus and Beyonce would have probably been burned as witches in the 1700s. In the 1200s they would have been beheaded. Today they are "role models".
Please try to keep up with the thread before you butt in
This particular discussion related to the statement that God was directly involved in our winning the Revolutionary War and the writing of the Constitution
No it wasn't and it never was about that.
That was how it was twisted.
They don't understand the difference of having helping hand and direct involvement or direct writing.
