Times were different then and NO we cannot JUDGE GOD!. I have found an article that explains things better than I could, it explains debt-slavery in which people who could not pay their debts to someone could do so by serving them, it was not uncommon then. see the link below;

Cheers and welcome.
Please unpack your meaning here. Are you saying that the morality in the old covenant law was inferior? If so, what is your basis for morality?
Failure to acknowledge slavery. Leviticus 25:46 "You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life"
No need to be snarky; I cannot read your mind, and as you're new here, I have no context to guess your intent. Please explain exactly what you mean by your opening post.
No it does not tell me any such thing, as a Christian i am under the teachings of the LORD Jesus .. It tells the Hebrews of that time who they can enslave.. Different people under a different covenant in different times living in different circumstances..
Read my reply properly and then respond to what i actually say if you are interested in learning something..
You just admitted you're creator endorses slavery "It tells the Hebrews of that time who they can enslave"
Sure. The only cure for all this is love. Jesus came to lay the axe to the root, not just swat at the leaves.
Who is your creator. What is your agenda? Are you a Christian?
Don't non-Christians go out and socialize on Saturday nights? But you're here instead trying to start a fight with Christians.
Christians on the other hand have to turn in early to go to church in the morning tomorrow, so that's why it's busy here on a Saturday.
Do you have any friends? Why aren't you with them right now having fun? That's kind of sad actually.
I will pray for better things for you!
Okay, so you haven't learned how to interact respectfully on a discussion forum. That's okay; you aren't the first like that around here, and I'm sure you won't be the last.
You have no basis for moral judgment, so your judgment is meaningless.
Have a nice day.
If you stopped being a donkey for a little while and tried actually reading the Bible, you might see that the ordinances you decry are part of the Sinai covenant. Christians aren't under that covenant.
As for the ordinances being given by God, consider that they are restrictive; a Hebrew owner of slaves is not permitted to treat them in any way he chooses, but only within the limits of the Law.
Christians do not endorse slavery at all, let alone the mistreatment of slaves.
