If People were meant to live under the law than it would have been establsihed from the beginning, The law didn't exist until Moses.So when is the point when the law "passes away?" Clearly it wasn't because of Jesus, as you suggested. (See the very same, Matt 5:17-19)

I couldn't be more "on topic"The topic of conversation was whether or not the Bible condoned slavery, not whether it gave some examples where being a slave worked out okay. A red herring is a logical fallacy where a person presents an argument that distracts from the issue at hand. Whether or not Nebudchadnezzar praised David is irrelevant. The point was that by even giving instructions to slaves or slave owners, the Bible acknowledges slavery, and by not condemning it, condones it.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
