Slavery was a way of paying off debt. We are slaves now to the credit companies.
You can't read or write can you, go get a basic education. Most children are smarter than you.

It doesn't condone it, but mentions it as if it's just part of life. Which back then it was. People's biases came through the writing, so that's why it was mentioned so casually (people were used to it). I don't think God ever intended people to own other people. There's still lots of slavery today though, even that which our own government condones; don't think for a second we're truly past that.

No. I'm a Christian and I'm against all kinds of slavery.
You must remember people in antiquity had a different mind set and you cannot compare them to most Christians living in this day and age. I'd like to think we as a human race will keep on evolving and maybe in another 2000 years will come very close to living as per Jesus' example.

First of all it's spelled "Christian". Since when did we approved of slavery? Unless you're talking about white southerners in the U.S. No I wouldn't want to own slaves, never. The term "You Christians" are kinda bugging me you know... Not all Christians on Earth owned slaves.

who says that the Bible condones slavery? Have you not read that God delivered his people out of Egypt where they were slaves?

Yes, I would love to have a few man slaves at my disposal. I can't tell you what I would make them do! Praise the Lord and pass the Crisco!

If the slave is willing to be a slave, and chooses to be one of his/her own free will (signing a contract), does that not make him/her a slave? In this situation, why would it be wrong? No one's right's are being violated, are they?
