My paramount object in this struggle is to save the union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. if i could save the union without freeing any slave i would do it, and if i could save it by freeing all the slaves i would do it; and if i could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone i would also do that. what i do about slavery, and the colored race, i do because i believe it helps to save the union; and what i forbear, i forbear because i do not believe it would help to save the union.

Just as uncle tom, back during slavery used to keep the negroes from resisting the bloodhound or resisting the ku klux klan by teaching them to love their enemies or pray for those who use them despitefully, today martin luther king is just a twentieth-century or modern uncle tom or religious uncle tom, who is doing the same thing today to keep negroes defenseless in the face of attack that uncle tom did on the plantation to keep those negroes defenseless in the face of the attack of the klan in that day.

The old testament records the preparation for the coming of the messiah. the gospels record the coming of the messiah, jesus christ our lord. the book of acts records the propagation of the gospel (the good news) concerning jesus christ. the epistles (letters) explain the gospel and its implications for our lives. the book of revelation anticipates and describes the second coming of jesus christ and the establishment of his eternal kingdom. from beginning to end, the bible glorifies jesus christ and centers on him. its christ-centeredness is one of its wonderful features.
