Re: Biblical slavery
My several-great grandpa Junkin was a preacher and Doctor of Divinity who authored a chatechism Particularly for the Education of Colored Persons, encouraging them to follow Biblical teaching in being calmly obedient to their masters. Yeah. Slavery supporter.

"The Christian church, in its attitude toward science, shows the mind of a more or less enlightened man of the Thirteenth Century. It no longer believes that the earth is flat, but it is still convinced that prayer can cure after medicine fails." H L Mencken

Re: Biblical slavery
As per the examples in Mosaic laws that gave completely different rules for Hebrew vs. Gentile slaves. Captives were permanent slaves, as I recall it.
