From the descriptions of how to care for slaves in the OT, it seems that Hebrew slaves were treated pretty well, at least compared to other slaves at that time in history (and other times in history)

So you think that slavery is absolutely morally wrong unless the slaves are treated pretty well?

Also, in the NT it says that all are equal before God, slave & free.

Paul (who speaks for God in the NT including the above comment about all being equal) also tells slaves how to be subject to their masters.
