If by "confront" you mean "ignore," then yes, they are.

um, nowhere in the bible does Jesus "support" slavery. No, he doesnt decry it and rail against it but, then again, there were many evils of society that he did not decry. He just didnt have the time.
You see, Jesus was Jewish, and at the time, the Jews were in captivity to the Romans. So, if your point is that he supported slavery - just think for a sec - why would he support slavery when technically, he was a slave.
Dont worry though; you are in good company. You see, even the disciples thought Jesus was supposed to free the Jews and rule as a king on earth. That is why they left him when he got caught. They were surprised and scared. They didnt understand that his purpose was not to fix every societal ill, but to clear a pathway for people to have a relationship with God, without the priests and sacrifices they previously believed in.

If you mean the fact that Christians misused scripture to support slavery, then yes, I am willing to confront this issue.
With Jesus, though, I'd really like to confront my support of slavery... that is my slavery to sin.

Jesus did not suport slavary as such he just spoke about the way things were then I can not even think of a quote Jesus made on slaves I think it was paul who said slaves obay your masters.

I'd rather confront your lack of Scripture references to carry your point.

I'm willing to sit down with almost anyone and talk almost anything.
BTW It seems you overlooked any references to the subject you present.

He said to love your neighbor as yourself.... How do you see this as support for slavery? I can't see how unless you yourself would like to be enslaved.

I love how people think that hateful lies which are cleverly disguised as sarcasm somehow constitute making a point...

books and verses or any proof for support would be appreciated other than simple mindless claims.
