It will forever be the bugaboo of the Christian.

God is all knowing and all loving but he knows man is fallible so he told us what we *should* do and then gave us rules for living as the hairless apes we are.

So man can justify slavery, war, stealing, whatever with the old "well, we're trying" line.

Because you are 100% right that the men who were guided by God to wrote the bible COULD have written that all slavery is bad and all people should be treated equally but instead for SOME reason wrote a list of rule that seem to fit the power structure of the time instead.
