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.
