Even if the bible did explicitly condemn slavery, anyone seriously think there wouldn't have been a way around it ? Like just ignoring the inconvenient edict ?
These days a majority of the 40,000 christian sects will happily perform subsequent marriages for divorced members (and more sell annulments), despite that christer dude specifically forbidding it. I can't imagine rich patrons being denied their slaves regardless.
Hell, until recently, pedo priests were rotated to new parishes so they could have access to more kids, anyone want to try to jibe that with christianity ?
