Nice try to bury the issue under a huuuuuuge pile of horseshit.
Now given ALL the context you want (and seemingly need), dont post that wall of BS again, plz, make out of it what you want but WHAT DOES YOUR GOD WANT TO SAY WITH THESE VERSES WITHIN THE GIVEN CONTEXT....take your time and respond, to those verses, no walls of text no dissertations....just your conclusions: WHAT DOES HE SAY HERE (or better: what does the bible claims he said here)?

And no, NOONE said god orders people they SHOULD have slaves, but what does he do here?

That's why I put it in hide tags. Sorry if bringing context and a thorough exegesis ruffled you the wrong way. If you fully admit that no one says that God should have slaves, then you're being disingenuous to ask. If you're freely admitting that the Bible does not ask people to own slaves then you already have your answer as to what this says and I agree with it. 
I am not dishonest. You are if you suggest i ever said that your god commanded the israelites to have some slves (in case the already didnt). Stop making that insinuation or provide a quote.
I am just asking you what the bible claims your god is trying to say with the verses i presented multiple times now. I grant you all the context you need,

Ok, here we finally go. Your god tells people "how to do slavery", right? But he doesnt even tell them "IF you buy them from Tommy across", he tells them to DO buy them from Tommy across", right?
Quote:Leviticus 25: 44 Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.
Ye "shall" buy them from Tommy across, right?

Just listen to yourself speaking: IF the bible prohibits SOME instances of slavery..., then it does not support slavery. Are.you.serious.!?
Let me ask you: IF the bible prohibits SOME instances of slavery, then it does NOT prohibit some OTHER instances of slavery, right?
THE BIBLE DOES NOT PROHIBIT SOME INSTANCES OF SLAVERY, according to your own words. (No it does tell HOW to do it in those instances).
Question: What does person x do if it supports SOME instances of activity y? Does that mean person x does NOT support activity y AT ALL?

You are still trying to weasel out of the fact, that the bible, while not TELLING people to enslave (nice strawman btw 1/10 for trying), while (maybe) not endorsing SOME instances of slavery (nice try 2/10 maybe for effort), it does endorse SOME instancs of slavery.

Do you consider it morally permissible to endorse SOME instances of slavery?

Are.you.serious.again?
Is your argument really "Hey, the bible tells people HOW to enslave, but it tells them HOW to do other stuff as well."
Oh, and how do you "find yourself owning slaves"? Is this stuff happening accidentally, or as a minor "byproduct" of some other activity?
