"For someone who is claiming slavery to be immoral and not condoned by the bible, you sure spend a lot of effort in defending biblical law on slavery."
yes, b/c the law had a good purpose, to defend rights of slaves. to make sure they weren't mistreated.
"Are you saying that God's law is not moral?"
the law itself was moral. it make sure slaves weren't mistreated. it's a way to make an honest living at the time for those who did not own land. how else were they to make money? and also, they may have been considered property, but not treated like such.
just b/c you claim someone a dependant on your taxes does not mean they are treated like property.
oh and explain Exodus 21:16
