This is a winsome take on a very serious blunder/lie/deception or something like that. No Quarter: https://dougwils.com/books-and-culture/s7-engaging-the-culture/inerrancy-as-the-queen-mum-of-evangelicalism.html

Well, it turns out that Winsome November is not the first time I've been winsome.
00:06
I was very winsome before. You remember Smooth AD? This is actually a really good clip. Cody Liebolt reminded me of it.
00:12
This is a good companion piece to Doug Wilson's most recent
00:18
No Quarter November article about inerrancy. If you have not read it, I will link to it in the description here.
00:24
You should definitely go read it, but look what I said. It's very similar. Very similar. Let's listen to this very winsome guy.
00:31
Smooth AD. With an authority that is rooted in Scripture, you shall not kill.
00:38
That's what I'm talking about. You shall not enslave. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:47
Dr. Moore. Hey, that's not in the Bible.
00:53
Let's just be honest about that. You know, I always wonder about that. You know, people always talk about slavery like it's the ultimate sin, and I gotta be honest with you.
01:01
I don't know if I'm reading the same Bible you're reading. Because in my Bible, it has all kinds of laws about slavery and regulating it.
01:09
But one of the things that does not say, Dr. Moore, and I'm trying to be smooth when I say this.
01:15
It does not say thou shalt not enslave. That's not one of the Ten Commandments, sir. That's true.
01:20
It's not one of the Ten Commandments. But you see what you gotta do, though? ADs, you gotta look at the overarching thrust of the
01:27
Bible. You see, that's how you get into all kinds of trouble. The overarching thrust. Because I can play those games, too, with other things, right?
01:34
Like, look at the overarching thrust, and that's how you know that sodomy's okay now.
01:40
I can play all kinds of games with this. But what people don't want to do, they want to play a lot of games with the
01:45
Bible, but they just, they don't want to just believe what it says. That's what I want to do. I just want to believe what it says.
01:51
Go ahead and read the No Quarter November article. I think you'll love it. I think you will. I don't know if you will, but hey, do it anyway.
