Not a moral issue alone. God was very wrong in dictating that slavery is acceptable, and this is an error of the Bible. You can not have a omniscient, omnipotent and just God, who doesn't know that slavery is immoral.

Did God create everything? Yes.
So who created the waters before creation in Genesis 1:2 ?

It is you who pretends not to understand. Read a bit of history of how the Trinity dogma was established (which by the way is claimed to be incomprehensible by the human mind), instead of simply claiming everyone else does not understand God.

I don't have a direct interest in what you just wrote, but I think your first quote "Superior virtue is like the Christian who does what Jesus teaches out of agape, not to attain anything, but out of divine love. They are saved." sounds more realistic.

I agree (as far as I can agree).
