What law prompted stowe to write this book? what was she trying to accomplish with this novel? what does stowe mean when she writes, "and does not the slave system, by denying the slave all legal right of testimony, make every individual owner an irresponsible despot? " what is stowe saying about what slave owners become after practicing and participating in the institution of slavery? who does stowe blame, the south, the north, or both? what is her reasoning behind this? how does stowe use christianity to support her arguments against slavery? is it a persuasive argument? explain the final paragraph of stowe’s chapter in your own words. what does it mean? how do you think harriet beecher stowe’s background as an advocate for women’s rights, and a daughter of church leaders, influence her argument or claims?

The question is centered around the novel "Uncle's Tom Cabin" written by Harriet Beecher Stowe,

Explanation:

The Fugitive Slave Act  of 1850 was the motivation behind the writing of the novel.

The author means that slave-owners become essentially a despot, without Christian love. Thus, for Stowe slave-owners were in essence evil-beings without compassion and ethics. Thus, the blame of slavery was in the South, in the plantations owners, her reasoning being the beforementioned lack of Christian love.  

Therefore Stowe uses Christianity as a way to portrait the misery of slavery but also as a way to give a way to challenge it. For Stowe, her background as the daughter of church leaders heavily influenced her view, influencing her view and her arguments, based on the Christian doctrine, against slavery. Basically, that slavery would end only through a purge, a necessary purge through Christian love and compassion, basicaly of an atonement by the American society.

1. intercessory weapons

“god is looking for somebody, a wall builder; somebody who can prevent calamities and avert disasters through importunate tears of supplication,” writes father oforka. “such wall builders attend the divine council and, like spiritual attorneys, passionately argue their cases in order to achieve their purpose.”

an example of an intercessory warrior is moses in the old testament. “moses acted as a bridge between god and his people. that was an office that god called him to when he appeared to him in the form of a burning bush. he therefore respects both moses as his faithful servant and his office of mediation between him and his people,” father oforka writes.

how does intercession play a role in our lives today, as the spiritual battle rages on still? “we must go back to our roots and repossess the right of attending the divine council through the ministry of intercession,” father oforka explains. we intercede through prayer, petitioning for others before the throne of god.

2. the name of jesus 

“there is something in the name of jesus that is awesome and fascinating,” father oforka writes. “hence, the quiver of the intercessory cannot be complete without it.”

saints paul, peter, and john write extensively about the power of the name of christ. no one can make demons subject to him without the name of christ.

in the early church, justin martyr wrote, “for every demon, when exorcised in the name of this very son of god – who is the first-born of every creature, who became man by the virgin, who suffered, and was crucified under pontius pilate, who died, who rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven – is overcome and subdued. but though you exorcise any demon in the name of any of those who are among you – either kings, or righteous men, or prophets, or patriarchs – it will not be subject to you.”

3. the power of praise 

praise is a underrated arrow in the quiver of a christian. “it’s important that intercessors should learn the power of praise,” writes father oforka. “a group of prayer ministers may gather for hours praising god and soaking the air with divine waves. . the father cherishes it when his awesome deeds are recounted and his person is addressed accordingly.”

what does this have to do with spiritual warfare? “at those times when the thick clouds of evil begin to gather, when the smoke of satan begins to blur our view and choke our breath, intercessors might opt to descend into the bright cloud of praise, invoking these awesome names, instead of a mournful prayer-fight.”

heaven can’t resist soulful praise of the faithful – and satan can’t stand to hear god praised here on earth.

4. the fire of the holy spirit

the fire of the holy spirit has a two-fold purpose in the life of the spiritual warrior. “it could be used as both an offensive and a defensive weapon,” father oforka explains. “it is like the word of god, which is double-edged and therefore dual in purpose.”

we often see god through the medium of fire throughout the old testament. he appears to moses in a burning bush, and as a pillar of fire through the desert wanderings of the israelite nation. in his letter to the hebrews, saint paul writes that god is an “all consuming fire.”

5. the eucharist 

in the gospel of john, christ says: “very truly i tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the son of man and drink his blood, you have no life within you.” the institution of the eucharist is an event recorded meticulously by three of the synoptic gospels and saint paul.

when catholics worship in the mass and receive the body of christ through the eucharist they can “draw more strength than he can image,” explains father oforka. “an intercessory, who identifies with jesus in the eucharist, can handle difficult cases. he does not just end with the invocation of this treasure. he must, as often as possible, be part of the sacrifice of the mass through which this power flows.”

hope this and i hope i answered in time!

good luck!

the main reason that the constitution did not proclaim all men to be free and equal is because of the issue of slavery.
