Would you follow his lead if you were living in a society where slavery was common? Probably not. But people have done so in the past.
Slavery in Jesus' society was a different institution than in America. They were usually prisoners of war or voluntary slaves. Jesus' concern was that they be treated righteously.
So it's okay in your book to make slaves out of POW's?
Sheesh.
Fuck. Would it have been okay if the states just had declared war on whatever places they got the slaves from?
