And you have decided, out of convenience, without justification or even an attempt to explain yourself, that the bible means definition B, and not the others. Sorry, but your by fiat assertions mean nothing, especially when we can just read the passages ourselves, and see that very clearly, the context does not support your claim.
If someone is "a possession," it means that they are "a possession" in the same way that any other thing that you own is a possession, and when you twist and turn to try and get away from that, you demonstrate that you are dishonest, immoral, and uninterested in anything more than unthinking obeisance to a book.
