[Iowegian]

Really? Show me a verse that prohibits slavery. A single one.

OK:

Deut. 21:10-14; 24:7; 1 Timothy 1:10; Rev. 18:13.

Sorry you can't use the Bible to condone immoral behavior of past generations. God hates slavery.

[rb22982]

When you go to war against your enemies and the LORD your God delivers them into your hands and you take captives, 11 if you notice among the captives a beautiful woman and are attracted to her, you may take her as your wife. 12 Bring her into your home and have her shave her head, trim her nails 13 and put aside the clothes she was wearing when captured. After she has lived in your house and mourned her father and mother for a full month, then you may go to her and be her husband and she shall be your wife. 14 If you are not pleased with her, let her go wherever she wishes. You must not sell her or treat her as a slave, since you have dishonored her

This does not ban all slavery, just in this case.

If a man is caught kidnapping one of his brother Israelites and treats him as a slave or sells him, the kidnapper must die. You must purge the evil from among you.

This only deals with other Israelites. My are you reaching.

, for slave traders

This still doesnt deal with slavery from after a war.

cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and bodies and souls of men.

What does this have to do with slavery
