If I lived in a country that allowed slavery, and I owned slaves who were well treated, could I be a christian?

However few, there are still a few independent states (Republic of Niger) which permit lawful slavery.

Basically, I want to know if jesus or god has changed his mind about keeping slaves since the bible was written.

Aspergillus niger, shown here with its DNA lit up in green, is a fungus that can be used on an industrial scale to &quot;grow&quot; important chemicals such as citric acid. Understanding its genes will help researchers tame it for other purposes, such as to &quot;grow&quot; biofuels to replace fossil fuels.</p>
