So you're not a Christian, then?

“The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.”

Leviticus 19:34

In the very same book it allows the foreigners to be bought and enslaved under different rules than your own people. Leviticus 25:44-46

Is it foreigners or is it non-Jews? Conversion was a thing for them at the time.

It doesn’t matter in the context the replied post. They’re saying the Bible’s anti-racism/othering under the same terminology, in the same book only 6 chapters away. It’s more of a nullification of their statement.

Edit: I reread the comment and it’s not better even if conversation is allowed. A “we can enslave you under different rules unless you join us.” is still immoral, othering, and potentially racist depending in how foreigners are categorized here.
