Jesus strongly approves of the law and the prophets. He hasn’t the slightest objection to the cruelties of the Old Testament. "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place." (Matthew 5:17 NAB)
So, accordingly, Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations.
Is this okay? Or would it be better if I stuck to my own ungodly values of not taking or owning slaves?
