This is more evidence that the OT servants had a CHOICE whether or not to obey. Thus not being FORCED.

This proves you did not read my argument.
Oh please...
Your idea that anyone would pay money for a slave, then not expect them to obey them is pretty ridiculous.
That is your assumption and it is a completely perfect example of a non-sequitur to suggest that you cannot buy someone without forcing them to obey you. You need to provide evidence for this claim, not expect us to blindly believe you.
