    "Every 50 years, in what was called the Year Of Jubilee, all debts were wiped out."
    It is important to note that there is no record of this ever occurring, either in the Bible, or in ancient Jewish writings. And foreign slaves were not included in the emancipation anyway.

      And since the life expectancy was around 30 years back then, setting slaves free every 50 years wasn't very beneficial for the slaves.

    Exodus 21:20-21 is: "20 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21 but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their PROPERTY."

    I notice you didn't quote Leviticus 25:44-46 in your video. Gee. I wonder why? Could it be because is explicitly endorses and condones chattel slavery?
    "Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids. Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.
    And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour."

And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then it shall be, that all the people that is found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee. And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it: And when the Lord thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword: But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the Lord thy God hath given thee."

    "The slavery talked about in the Bible was more like servitude."
    This is a lie. Indentured servitude applied only to (male) Hebrew slaves.
    Under Mosaic law, foreign slaves were chattel slaves. They could be bought, sold, separated from their families, beaten, raped, killed, kept for life, and passed down as inherited property. Every reference to foreign slaves in the Bible is to deny them rights and protections afforded to Hebrew slaves. The treatment of foreign slaves was every bit was bad, or worse, than slavery in the Antebellum south.

      Liar.
      Chattel slavery is defined as "the enslaving and owning of human beings and their offspring as property, able to be bought, sold, and forced to work. Another definition is: "The condition in which one person is owned as property by another and is under the owner's control, especially in involuntary servitude."
      Leviticus 25 explicitly describes and condones chattel slavery.
      "44 Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.
      45 Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.

    "Slaves were treated as people, not property."
    This is a lie. Foreign slaves were chattel property. There were no laws protecting them. Every verse that specifically references foreign slaves does so in order to deny them protections granted to Hebrew indentures servants.
    Exodus 21 states that Hebrew indentures servants could be beaten nearly to death with no repercussion, and then Leviticus 25 states that foreign slaves could be treated even more harshly.

    "Christian ended the slave trade."
    This is a lie. SOME of the people that ended the slave trade were Christians, perhaps even most, but most of the people opposing abolition were also Christians.
    The fact is that those in favor of slavery could quote a plethora of Bible verse to support their position, while those Christians opposing slavery had to borrow from Humanist morality in order to do so.

    Even when compared with the Contemporary Slavery, biblical slavery that was permitted by Law(God) during the time of the Jewish Nation(s)... including the New Testament era...
    Was universally understood to be, as presented in this video.
    Temporary unless voluntarily extended, not to extend to families/beyond the individual, and supposed to be Humane at its worst.
    More like modern day Community Service or Internship, but for individual master's. Not something necessarily good, but allowed under the circumstances found in real life.

    3: "Christians ended the slave trade" is disingenuous considering that the vast majority of anyone in a position to have influence to this end was Christian. It ignores that the people who opposed the end, violently, were also Christian, making Christian belief moot on the issue. If you look more closely it was only Christian sects informed by Enlightenment philosophers that led the movement in England and the US North. The evangelical denominations fought to keep slavery.
    2: "Slaves are not property" is a flat out lie given the number of times that the Bible says the exact opposite.
    1: "Biblical slavery was servitude" Duh, INVOLUNTARY servitude. That servants were also abused at that time does not lessen the fact that slaves had no choice about staying a slave except for Hebrew males.
