No, and the answer isn't all that complex. The Bible is a personal guide for each human. In one's own mind a person has spiritual slaves and a person can make themself a slave to their own sin.Does the Bible Condone Slavery? - Radically Christian

Yes. The Bible addresses what the people were already doing in ancient times.The answer is complex
One must be honest. For a Christian, we are presently living in the AGE of GRACE. This began with the Resurrection of JESUS or PENTECOST (take your pick). While CHRIST didn't do away with the LAW (of Moses), HE certainly fulfilled every jot and tiddle of that LAW. As a result, we have salvation through CHRIST (who did fulfill the LAW) when we accept HIS gift. If a man commits adultery, he is certainly guilty of sin and worthy of condemnation. But in reality this individual isn't celebrating his act of transgression. In fact, most CHRISTIANS are not at all happy when a divorce occurs. And deservedly, such an individual has NOTHING to be PROUD of. Unfortunately, the very same can no longer be applied socially regarding homosexual behavior practices. As a CHRISTIAN, I can tell you that I neither HATE people who fornicate nor people who participate in homosexual activity. I will say that I have no respect for either ACT and find both detrimental to society at large.The Pyramids along the Nile weren't built by slaves as Herodotus wrote.

The Bible, most conveniently, seems to say whatever people want it to say.
People who hate gay people because the Bible makes some reference to gay sex being looked down upon in the Old Testament then go and elect a president who committed an offence the Old Testament says should result in STONING TO DEATH, and he did it THREE TIMES.

As for slavery, I believe you will find that biblical slavery allowed for the possibility of the slave to regain his freedom and that contractual slavery allowed someone the opportunity to get out of debt, etc... It wasn't about buying men, women, and children who were stolen from another country for the sole purpose of enslavement.

The Bible is a living book! Have you really ever read it through? Attitudes, feelings, good & bad, sound advise don't change.

The biggest problem is a book written a long, long time ago that dealt with how to live 2,000 years ago. It's out of date, something new would be better.
