For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba!

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. ...

You see, in all of the verses that retain to adoption , I have not found one having the word "sell" or "property" in them. not one except for the quote that I gave you earlier and that was on the condition that slave did not "please" her master and that she married her masters son.
Any who , you refuse to see the fact that your doctrine accepted and condoned slavery - both in the new and the old testament. Its almost like you are playing the game cognitive dissonance, in which the player becomes an apologist for a 3000 year old book that was used as an tool of our bondage........
