How does Captain Auld demonstrate that he reads the Bible in order to find support for his own needs and desires-in this case upholding slavery?

Captain Auld uses selective interpretation of The Bible to support his justification for upholding slavery. He takes passages out of context and manipulates their meaning to ensure that they align with his own needs and desires. By cherry-picking verses that seem to endorse slavery, Captain Auld distorts the true message of the Bible to suit his agenda.
