Do you believe that everyone accepts the Holy Spirit when freely offered? Or do you think that some people reject what the Spirit is trying to tell them?

Yes people sometimes reject what the Holy Spirit is telling them. But you don't need the Holy Spirit to tell you that slavery is wrong unless you don't have a conscience. And if you don't have a conscience then you won't listen to the Holy Spirit anyway. I think that the Holy Spirit is more concerned with spiritual matters. 1 John 5:19 says that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. This was written after Jesus was crucified. I don't see anything in the Bible that says that it's different today. It isn't, and it won't be until the second advent. The fact that slavery is illegal now isn't a spiritual matter.
