The following quote is Jesus:
Matthew 7

What you quoted is not Jesus.
It's really simple.

Colossians 4 is not Jesus. Are there any more dots that you need connected?

Funny how you believe your opinion on Jesus' words supercedes apostles appointed by Jesus.

According to the Bible, can slave owners in the modern world be a child of God?
Read Leviticus to see what I mean. It's all about how to prepare to butcher a live animal on a stone altar. Civilised people don't do that sort of thing any more.

Evidently you do. Like everyone else, you pick and choose what parts of the bible you believe and which parts you don't. Like many of them, you lack to integrity to acknowledge this fact. Even worse, it seems that you pick and choose in order to further your bigotry.

Jesus seemed to have you in mind when He said this:
Matthew 13
14“In their case the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says,
‘YOU WILL KEEP ON HEARING, BUT WILL NOT UNDERSTAND;
YOU WILL KEEP ON SEEING, BUT WILL NOT PERCEIVE;
15FOR THE HEART OF THIS PEOPLE HAS BECOME DULL,
WITH THEIR EARS THEY SCARCELY HEAR,
AND THEY HAVE CLOSED THEIR EYES,
OTHERWISE THEY WOULD SEE WITH THEIR EYES,
HEAR WITH THEIR EARS,
AND UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART AND RETURN,
AND I WOULD HEAL THEM.’
