well...thats just not true! Slavery (new testament) 1 Timothy 6:1-2 "All who are under the yoke as slaves are to regard their own masters as worthy of all honor so that the name of God and our doctrine will not be spoken against. 2Those who have believers as their masters must not be disrespectful to them because they are brethren, but must serve them all the more, because those who partake of the benefit are believers and beloved. Teach and preach these principles." Beating (or, in fact; KILLING) children....also new testament; Matthew 15:4 "For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’" And who said the last quote?! Jesus! 😉
