Knock yourself out.

If you think the 6 day creation translations are literal and correct and consistent, then you must think the slavery translations are literal and correct and consistent and that slavery is OK with God. Do you think slavery is OK with God?

I don't see that he ever prohibited it. He did set up rules for the proper treatment of slaves. God sent the Nation of Israel into slavery on several occasions. God obviously approved of the Hebrews being enslaved since he arranged for it to take place.

What is this thing you have about slavery? I suspect that all of us are descended from slaves. God allowed it to take place throughout history. We live in a blessed time where slavery is the exception rather than the rule. But even where it was the rule, God was still on the throne.

There are even more not against slavery. Seems to be getting popular on FR among the creationists.

As a matter of principle, religious or otherwise, are you opposed to the idea of slavery?

Oh absolutely. I am bondslave to Christ sold into slavery for Him. We are either slaves of righteousness leading to eternal life or slaves of sin leading to death.
