Yet, your original argument denies objective morals. God changed his morals, hence changed his mind over time?  Has god evolved? Or are you trying to say we should still own slaves, as long as we abide those rules like release after 7 years.

Nope. 

God did not change. He revealed a higher standard...the next phase in the formation of the people of Israel.

They changed...slowly, incrementally, begrudgingly even...over time.
