Slavery is never actually suggested, supported, or otherwise condoned in a positive manner by Yahweh

As Con I will not "add" sources; I will explain sources that Pro provides while upholding the claim required. The Statement is: "Slavery is never actually suggested, supported, or otherwise condoned in a positive manner by Yahweh." [ Leviticus 25:44-46 Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life Exodus 21:20-21 Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property. ] These two Bible verses fail to meet the claim; in no way is Yahweh actually supporting, suggesting, or condoning the action. Instead these are regulations relating to a behavior that, unless Pro provides for, was not of Yahweh's direct suggestion or order. [ 1 Peter 2:18-20 Slaves, in reverent fear of God submit yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. 19 For it is commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because they are conscious of God. 20 But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God. ] This is a verse about conduct of slaves as Christians and against has nothing to do with the will, condoning, or validation of their treatment by Yahweh. The three previous versus have all been about conduct and regulation rather than approval in any sense of the word. [ Deuteronomy 20:10-14 ] 10When you approach a city to wage war against it, you shall propose peace to it. יכִּי תִקְרַב אֶל עִיר לְהִלָּחֵם עָלֶיהָ וְקָרָאתָ אֵלֶיהָ לְשָׁלוֹם: 11And it will be, if it responds to you with peace, and it opens up to you, then it will be, [that] all the people found therein shall become tributary to you, and they shall serve you.יאוְהָיָה אִם שָׁלוֹם תַּעַנְךָ וּפָתְחָה לָךְ וְהָיָה כָּל הָעָם הַנִּמְצָא בָהּ יִהְיוּ לְךָ לָמַס וַעֲבָדוּךָ ( http://www.chabad.org... ) Relative to the Torah they were the nation was effectively taken as, versus slaves in the traditional sense, the modern equivalent of subsidiaries or for better understanding "war spoils". It's a hostile take-over as all of Deut. 20 is specifically on waging war; the proposal of a treaty with the terms of total surrender would not be equivalent to slavery but since there are no words that translate well into English it is fundamentally a matter of language versus that of actual context. [ Numbers 31 ] The Nation of Israel disobeyed God's orders for extermination. Moses was livid with Israel for this disobedience and gave the order that you are talking about: [ 14 Moses was angry with the officers of the army"the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds"who returned from the battle. 15 "Have you allowed all the women to live?" he asked them. 16 "They were the ones who followed Balaam"s advice and enticed the Israelites to be unfaithful to the Lord in the Peor incident, so that a plague struck the Lord"s people. 17 Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, 18 but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man. ] Yahweh did not.
