  How about reading it and actually seeing context for yourself?

    I have. You going to try to justify slavery now?

      There are no justifications of slavery in the New Testament

        Justifications, no, just emphasizes that slaves just need to deal with it even if their owner beats them. Could have said to not own slaves, but nope, passively endorses/normalizes slavery.

        Just blanket acceptance with zero condemnation of the practice. It even includes moral guidelines like how to beat your human property without going to hell…
