Everybody is going to die one way or another. Who's fault is that? Chit happens, everybody knows that.
Who knows what Lot was thinking. He knew the Angels had come and were in his house. They were under his protection and Lot held nothing back to do just that. Lot himself stood between the raping homosexual mob and the Angels before they pulled him inside and destroyed the wicked city. Yes, i've read the story and have no problem with it.
Don't worry slave. The second coming is nigh. In this life I can only cure blind people, walk on water, ressurect dead people and provide some magical wine for a wedding. No time for your chains, now, or even to make it clear cut that you should not have them. Don't disturb my agenda, with your petty requests.

You could look at it that way, sort of a cup is half empty perspective though...
You try it, you think it's such a small thing.
Well, you should have a problem with it. Not only a moral problem, but also plausibility one. I am sure the Angels appreciated that. It is well known that wings do not always work when you need them to fly away from mobs
By the way, would you do the same with your daughters, if any? You know, just to be godly, as well.
And what do you mean with homosexual mob? Have angels a gender?

True. I am sure it is to be expected that a slave see things more on the half empty side.
So, how many of them could profit from the second coming?

If I were the daughter of God, and knew in advance that after the weekend I will come back alive and kicking to rule the universe?
Anytime. Piece of cake.

All of them? I suppose it all works out that everybody is supposed to forgive everybody so God forgives us. So perhaps the second coming is like the Jubilee, when all debts are just forgotten like water under the bridge and everybody can move on. Maybe some won't do that though, I don't know.
But why make it so complicated? First comings, second comings, multiple comings. Maybe, maybe not. Who knows?
Why not a simple:
Commadment XI: you shall not own another human being. That is abominable to the Lord. Even worse than eating fishes with scales, so that you get the idea. Period.

You mean eating fish with the scales still on? I don't understand..
Sorry, I meant fishes that have not scales. Typo. That seems to be unclean.
My point is that while that deserves a mention, owning a human being does not.

Parents basically own their children...
We are not talking of children. Even assuming that they Are really owned by their parents.
So, what does your objective morality, if any, tells you? Is it OK to own another ADULT human being? Is it moral to prescibe how he or she should be beaten?
Why did the lord forget that simple commandment, in your opinion, while wasting stone space with many basically useless ones?

Parents beat their kids sometimes. The metaphor about having human rulers is basically being their slaves, like they are our parents. We can't get enough human rulers, we have federal, state, local, community etc. Then preachers and priests and etc etc. They prescribe punishment sometimes, even death.
So, is that a no? I expect a one bit answer. Yes or no. Ok, two bits. I accept "maybe", too.
Is it ok to own adult humans like property according to objective morality?

Could Adam have been alive with the dinosaurs according to scripture. Yes, absolutely. No fossils of humans are found with the dinosaurs because humans, Adam and Eve were immortal, they did not die like the animals.
In 7 days God created the Heaven and the Earth. With God a day is 1,000 years, a day is also a day our time. It is ambiguouos whether creation was 7 days our time or 7,000 years. But Man was created immortal, his days were not numbered. There is an indefinite time period between creation and the fall of man, which could have been millions of years. When Adam ate the fruit he became mortal, his days were numbered and time began. God said "In the day they ate of it they would surely die" A day with God is 1,000 years, so they would die within 1,000 years, which accounts for Adam's age of a few hundred years old, from the time of the fall of man until his death.
Not sure if all Angels are male, but they don't have sex anyway. That stuffs for mortals.
