  1. It's very obvious that the Bible is not instructing people for all time how to keep slaves. They were not regarded as "owned" either. It was a complex set of rules for the conditions of that time. Most of Leviticus is about that and not only that it was conditioned on the fidelity of the Israelites or followers of Moses if you prefer to use that term. It was a "martial law" for those conditions. And if you want to debate that just ask yourself what would be merciful about cutting loose or emancipating a captive under those conditions versus cutting someone loose in a land with lots of free, airable land to squat on. You people think that you're "intelligent" but this is only by your own cult's agreement. At least in a "religion" you can agree on dogmas and agree on uncertainty. With your cult...LOL. BTW, there was an explicit framework for emancipation of the slaves of that time as well. It's not even close to comparable to sailing across a continent to purchase people already enslaved for reasons everyone at the markets can only guess about and then brining them north for a life with very little chance to earn emancipation of any kind. And yet believing Jews and Christians would have been instructed to treat them as adoptees and they would have been offered emancipation. The Bible also warns everyone about people and persons that not only lack fidelity but actually follow "the father of lies". You're all warned about these things but you pretend that the Bible is 'contradictory'. No, that's you. And it's intentional.
