This first was written by a modern Christian in defence of slavery:

The second was written by Prof. Robert Dabney, shortly after the US civil war, and again is defending slavery:

Both extensively use the Bible.
The point here is not that the Bible supports slavery (that is a discussion for another time) but that Christians have used scripture to convince themselves both that slavery is right and that slavery is wrong. Clearly these are two opposed positions, and one of them must be wrong - despite their dogmatic belief.
