So was proclaiming jesus king.  Here, though..really think about what you're saying.  Underneath it all there is an assumption that God Himself would be opposed to slavery..and that a proper understanding of scripture would effect that change...and laying aside the fact that it didn't (quite the opposite!)....you're only telling us that..maybe, "Paul" omitted this or that which might be politically or legally inconvenient in the word of the lord.  

You're the recipient of the...... "letter".  They are polemics. 

So..omitted politically inconvenient portions of the word of the lord in service to some personal fear of his that never came to pass?  Jesus christ...this all sounds so familiar, lol.

Your objections are easily answered by what was more important to God's plan: 1) Moral outrage against the long-standing institution that would have to be undone over a long period of time at the cost of 2) spreading the Gospel that would effect long-term, far-reaching change and get more than a few into heaven.  It is entirely consistent that God would let all kinds of social injustices occur as the price of more people coming to know him.

What objections, lol?  Before, you painted paul as a cold-hearted and calculating fisher of men.  Now.... it;s god who's getting the Steve Treatment.  Why would I object?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
