This ephesians business is nonesense, the bible is clearly saying that
we are servants of God, METAPHORICALLY. Or did you actually think that we were going to be serving god his red wine in heaven on a silver plate?

First of all, slavery is not about race - as one of our astute members pointed out had you took the time and effort to read this entire thread, and I might add that there were black slave owners in the antebellum south. Secondly, no one forced the mexicants to illegally cross our borders and invade our country in the first place - they come here to sponge off of our welfare system provided by the Democrats - nothing like free housing, food, health care, and education that normal people actually work for.
We know from the Bible (KJV1611) that there were certain groups (like the Amalekites) that were so obnoxious that God ordered completely destroyed - that meant that there was no one left living (not even women and children). We also know from archeologists that throughout most of early human history that this was a common practice to completely eliminate your enemies and in many cases it was also common practice to eat them as well - mainly because if any were left they were likely to bear a grudge and come back to seek revenge.
Now the Bible (KJV1611) is often criticized for promoting slavery, but call it what you like - mercy or "liberalism", God permitted your conquered enemies to live in exchange for becoming your slaves. I would call this a win-win (maybe from Trump's Art of the Deal) - the slaves liked it because they got to live and not be killed and eaten, and the victors got some slaves in exchange for the trouble of doing battle. Needless to say, almost anyone with any common sense would admit this advanced the cause of civilization - people with bellicose and violent tendencies were eliminated, a strong message was sent to those contemplating starting trouble, and cheap slave labor became available to build great cities - not to mention providing a great incentive for peace on earth.
