Slaves obey your masters goes right along with the Beatitudes (Mat 5). Read them.
Says your interpretation. Nowhere in the Beatitudes does it explicitly or literally state don't own slaves.
That is nowhere near what I said. You didn't answer about the parable. You didn't answer about me questioning your assumption that people did not understand Jesus regarding "your neighbor".
You only mention the sentence where I was explaining that slaves obeying masters is in line with all the other teachings. I'll paste them. Tell me where slaves obeying your masters does not fit with the overall message.
"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn,
for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure of heart,
for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
