He didn't approve or endorse slavery. God tolerated it but made very specific provisions as to how the Israelites were to treat their servant which stands in contrast to the very harsh conditions imposed by other ancient cultures of the time such as the Egyptians.
God has ideals which he knows fallen men are not going to follow them therefore He sets parameters to mitigate the harm. I know you probably think it's a load of baloney but I appreciate your through provoking posts in any case. Take care now
