Is a Bible for Slaves still a Bible?

2/20/2019

Today, I had a great opportunity to go to the Bible Museum in Washington, DC. It far exceeded my expectations. I was overwhelmed with the amount of information and artifacts within the walls of that building. At one point I just broke down and cried. For the rest of the week I plan to share with you some of my own experiences and photos. When I visited the Billy Graham headquarters in the summer I learned about the Slave Bible. I had never been taught or told that such a Bible existed. Today I got to see it. Here are some of my photos.

"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free,
there is neither male nor female:
for ye are all one in Christ Jesus."
​Galatians 3:28
I was so grieved that anyone would want to keep another person from knowing the Word of God or from knowing Jesus came to set all men free regardless of our race, or color. The video below is a real shocker! Hobby Lobby is a major funder.
ACTION STEP: Do what you can to learn truth. Stand for truth. Model truth. Vote for our schools to teach history--and the Bible is a huge part of that history. Read the word of God for yourself.

2 Timothy 2:15 King James Version (KJV) "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

I had no idea a Slave Bible existed and I attended a Christian College.Thanks for taking time to teach others. To teach is to learn twice.

As a child growing up in the south, I heard about the Slave Bibles that were produced in England for slaves in the West Indies and how they eventually made their way to the Americas. I've never had the occasion to see one. I recall hearing that parts of the Old Testament---especially stories of escape (Moses and the Israelites) were omitted to as to not promote slaves trying to escape their captivity. I suspect that someone actually thought they were providing a service. Slavery was appalling..but keeping them from the full truths of the Bible, just as appalling.
