no-spin, the Bible does not commend slavery; rather, it recognizes the reality of slavery. The regulations and penalties under the OT Levitical Law are viewed in light of the New Testament, not the reverse. And the Law is called a "curse" in the NT. A curse which we are no longer under, because of the redeeming work of Christ on the cross. We have been redeemed from the curse of the Law.
You see, these types of things cannot be glossed over and read out of context at face value, like how Penn & Teller interpret them. This always ends in misunderstanding of the culture, context and science of Biblical interpretation.
A text out of context becomes a pretext for error.
