The definition of "slavery" has not changed until some in this thread attempted to change it. There is a difference between slavery and indentured servitude.

But if the Bible's using the word in a different way than that listed in the dictionary, then referencing the dictionary is a mistake. The dictionary isn't necessarily helpful here.

in that case perhaps it's using a different definition of the word "lie" and therefore to "lie with another man as with one's wife" might not mean sex at all, meaning the bible does not in fact condemn homosexuality.
While we're at it, let's just redefine "god" to be whatever we want as well. For the last 2 millenia people have been redefining and changing the bible to fit whatever they want to do, why not continue the trend?
