The Peculiar Institution

[Macrobius]

In the SB, I observed the term 'the Peculium' and how the Jews had lost it. In so doing, I was merely repeating a commonplace of Protestant teaching, which I would think would be well known to, say, Presbyterians and CI alike.

The following terms are related: 'Peculium' (a token of chosen-ness), 'The Peculiar institution' (Slavery), and 'The Peculiar people' (The Jews). Are 'The Jews' still the chosen people? Do they have the peculium or have they 'lost it'?

Are there any Protestants left in the world? Can anyone with a CI background expound this doctrine?

It is easy to verify what I say via Google. So go forth, preachers. On behalf of your sect, expound to me the doctrine of the Peculium, as it relates to Slavery and Jews.

That is the entire topic of this thread. Have you never heard these terms before? Do you even know what they mean, in the plainest English and Latin?

(I should mention the classic Anglican exposition is by Charles Leslie, and a full exposition is contained in this work, attacking race mixing (well, marrying persons of a different religion anyway): http://books.google.com/books?id=zn4OAAAAQAAJ

From discussion in the SB:

[01-07, 05:26] Geist Faust The Jews underwent a holocaust, and heavy anti-semitism. They are still being persecuted and seem peculiar to me
...
[01-07, 05:23] Macrobius If so, then it failed to inform you of what a typical person in the 19th century understood about the term.
...
[01-07, 05:22] Macrobius And if so, did the programme fail to inform you of the connection, in terminology, to the "peculiar people', the Jews, and to the common meme of protestant preaching?
[01-07, 05:20] Macrobius Have you never heard negro slavery, called on some PBS special 'the peculiar institution'?
[01-07, 05:20] Macrobius The terms are related historically.
[01-07, 05:19] Macrobius In any event, my point in that thread is to connect the traditional prod iconography concerning niggers, to that concerning jews.
[01-07, 05:17] Macrobius I'm sure their's an atheist version of the doctrine.
[01-07, 05:16] Geist Faust I'm not traditional Catholic. I'm just an atheist. I posted that for Catholics looking for a racially aware alternative
[01-07, 05:16] Macrobius You should chime in with the TradCath doctrine, by the way.
[01-07, 05:15] Macrobius We'll see if any Prods explain it to you.
[01-07, 05:09] Geist Faust I'm confused, how did Jews lose the Peculium

The Jews seem very peculiar to me. Weird rituals, heavy persecutions such as the Holocaust, special state of Israel which is the only Jewish State in the world..

So far so good on mimicking the Hagee party line. Now what does that have to do with the institution of slavery as understood in 19th century Protestant America?

Jews should be our slaves

Who are 'we'?

I didnt say we

[Thomas Angel]

Religious belief or lack thereof only divides us.

Please tell me that you know 'our' is the possessive form of the nominative plural personal pronoun, 'we.'

If you say it then it must be true
