to own slaves cause Jesus said Luc 6;31 Would you become a slave?

Pseudo-Christians and Slavery
_________________________________________________________________________
They never criticise slavery.
They never categorically state that slavery is wrong.
They do not condemn slavery because the Bible does not condemn
slavery.
They say the Book of Leviticus proves that there's nothing wrong with
owning slaves.
They believe that slavery is permanent --- slavery is not something
which
is here
today and gone tomorrow.
They point out that nowhere in the Old Testament Scriptures does it
say
that slavery
should ever be abolished.
They cite Leviticus 25 :
".........People from the nations around the Israelites can become
slaves
these will
become your property, you can will them over to your children as
property,
and you can make them slaves for life........."
They believe that the teachings of Leviticus on slavery are
infallible.
They believe that slavery is beneficial to the economy because
there's
no cheaper
labor than slaves.
They believe that if slavery is acceptable to God, then it
automatically
follows that
slavery must be acceptable to a "Christian Nation".
