There are tons of abhorrent teachings in the Bible (how to own slaves, which heathens to kill etc) yet if you seriously suggested bringing back slavery 99% of modern Christians would scoff at the idea.

Wrong, That's the Old Testament. After Jesus Christ, the law changed. Circumcision was no longer required, and certain foods were no longer forbidden, etc. Everything derived from the New Testament is timeless and generally positive.

That didn’t stop previous Christians from using these passages to justify oppression in the past. How do you think Souther plantation owners justified owning slaves whilst calling themselves Christian?

My point is is that it doesn’t really matter (too much) about what a religious text says; what matters is the people / society interpreting those texts and whether they use them for lower-consciousness or higher-consciousness purposes.
