You can't claim homosexuality is wrong with Biblical verses then ignore the Bible's tacit endorsement of slavery. How do you argue against all this?

When Jesus talked about the divorce laws, He said those laws were given due to the "hardness of man's heart". God is dealing with sinners who can't stop sinning, so he gave laws to at least put some limits on it. Slavery already existed, so God put limits on it, as He did with many other things.

exactly right, example, God never intended for Israel to have a human king. Israel said, in sense "But God we want our own king." So God let them have a king. It wasn't pretty, but he gave them the desires of their heart. Let's get one thing straight, sin is sin always has been, always will be. Slavery was sin, but the laws of the land allowed it. If the law allows someone else to sin against you, it is still not ok to sin even legally to get back at someone, or to get even. Breaking the laws of the land was sin, so to run away, or disrespect your "master" was against the law, so it would be sin. This was the reason these laws were included in the mosaic law. He allowed them the desires of their hearts.
