Absolutely right, because if we trace mankind's religious family tree back to its roots in ancient Babylon - Genesis 10:8-10 - we learn as those ancient people migrated out of ancient Babylon they took with them their un-biblical practices and ideas and spread them world wide into a greater religious Babylon or Babylon the Great.
Because of those ancient Babylonians is why we see so many similar or overlapping religious-myth practices and traditions in today's religious world.
None of which makes the Bible as wrong, but makes their un-biblical teachings as wrong.
Exodus 21:20-21 – "If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and
the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, but he is not to be
punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his
property."
Colossians 3:22-24 – "Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything;
and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to win their favor, but with
sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. Whatever you do, work
at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you
know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It
is the Lord Christ you are serving."
Ephesians 6:5 - "Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear,
and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ."
1 Peter 2:13 - "Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every authority
instituted among men: whether to the king, as the supreme authority."
1 Peter 2:18 - "Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect,
not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those
who are harsh."
1 Timothy 6:1 - "1 All who are under the yoke of slavery should consider
their masters worthy of full respect, so that God's name and our teaching
may not be slandered."
Exodus 21:1-4, only refers to freeing Hebrew slaves. Foreign slaves are
forever your property, to be passed down to your children (in contrast to
Israelite slaves):
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 will them to your children as inherited property and can
make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites
ruthlessly.
Deuteronomy 20:10-15 – When you march up to attack a city, make its
people an offer of peace. If they accept and open their gates, all the people
in it shall be subject to forced labor and shall work for you. If they refuse to
make peace and they engage you in battle, lay siege to that city. When
the LORD your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all
the men in it. As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything
else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you
may use the plunder the LORD your God gives you from your enemies.
This is how you are to treat all the cities that are at a distance from you and
do not belong to the nations nearby.
So, I m confused... Till 1860s Christians were like Slavery is a Godly Tradition instituted by the Bible itself and these days they are against it?
Confusion while picking out whom to kill and torture and whom not to?
