Sure, why not? I won't stand in your way.
But questioning whether slavery meant the same thing back then isn't the same as questioning whether the bible's 100% true. You give the choice of a fallible bible or "slavery is okay", but you're ignoring at least two other possibilities: fallible translations and fallible interpreters.
