this post reminds me of 12 years a slave. such a good movie, plus a good insight into gods views on slavery. a few references below if you’re curious what i’m talking about, i suggest you read
And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. ‭‭Luke‬ ‭2‬:‭7‬

https://midtowncolumbia.com/blog/does-god-condone-slavery I’d recommend this article. Really explains how the slavery then was different then the slavery as we know.

i really think the idea of a god allowing ownership of another human at all is wrong. especially if said god knowing this text will be interpreted and read for the rest of time. leaving something so ambiguous seems cruel
