The New Testament condones slavery too.

>muh free will
If God was truly omnipotent, then he could make us incapable of sinning without violating free will. The fact that Jews, Christians, and Muslims seemingly think you can’t have free will without sin means God isn’t truly omnipotent

God got no diffed by fucking Iron Chariots man he's a FRAUD

It was better for men to be enslaved to save life alive.

You can’t have free will with sin, sin and free will are mutually exclusive. You don’t have free will, you are the slave of sin.

Slavery is inherently wrong?
What if someone committed a financial crime wherein a flogging is not a sufficient punishment but neither is death? Shouldn't they work off the debt? In the Bible, slavery is capped at six years before a mandatory manumission complete with a payout for the slave so they can get on their feet (for your fellow people of God that is).

Regarding slaves of war: here is another question: what if, rather than firebombing and murdering a million plus Japanese civilians in WWII, the Americans had simply put them into forced labor (and weren't allowed to maim or kill them), would that have been better or worse than burning them to death?

The thought experiment is a category error because the purpose of atrocities is to break the spirit of the enemy and end the war, not to punish those who are already defeated.

That's fair, but only still illustrates that modern man is morally insufficient.
Slavery is obviously more humane than mass murder, but since modernity makes possible mass murder on such an insane scale, it would rather deflect to past, "regressive" institutions, like "slavery" (even though the modern "free" person is almost entirely homologous to ancient and medieval slave classes).
