To me, Genesis 1-2 seem to comprise the Bible's description of God's initial, problem-free, human experience context and no mention of slavery or subjugation of women seems to exist therein. Additionally, the Bible's message seems to be to love God above all as primary relationship and sovereign authority, and to love others as self. To me, advocating slavery seems inconsistent with the above, but consistent with apparently dysfunctional social perspective perhaps introduced in Genesis 3 and evidenced in Genesis 4. To me, the above, in combination with Exodus 18, seems to provide reasonable basis upon which to suggest that faulty guidelines might be the product of human perspective rather than God's.
