Um...yeah. So? According to Jesus and the NT, not one word of the law is changed or invalidated by Christ's coming, and all scripture is useful for preaching and teaching. In this case, the Old and New Testament both agree that slaves can be kept and that they should be obedient. There is no version of "but that's the OLD Testament!" that allows you to weasel out of this.
Atheist often forget the second part of the sentence. Jesus said he came "not to abolish the law but to fulfill it". Since you are claiming to know the meaning of the whole verse, what does fulfill mean?
