It still doesn’t seem plausible to me because the idea of momey is only sexy in so far as you can trade it for 9ther stuff. There’s not much value in money that can only be used to purchase land/raw materials. It’s just a contract at that point.
If the bourgeois class is adamant about keeping commodification, they probably wouldn’t let things get to this stage in the first place. Governments would step in to regulate.

I’m not an economist, but I’ll try to answer you. Yes, land and resources still retain intrinsic usefulness and scarcity, but monetary value depends on a functioning market sustained by human labor and consumption; without those, capitalism loses its underlying mechanism of value creation. For example:
Imagine an AI controlled agricultural system. Robots cultivate land, harvest crops deliver food, etc, all without human labor. If no humans are employed, there are no wages being paid. Without wages, there’s no one with money to buy the food. The owners of the automated farms could produce endlessly, but there would be no market demand in the traditional sense
The system would have to transform to some sort of technofeudalism or socialism.

How are companies buying raw materials if there are no consumers to subsidize that?

1 Corinthians 7:21-23 AMP
[21] Were you a slave when you were called? Do not worry about that [since your status as a believer is equal to that of a freeborn believer]; but if you are able to gain your freedom, do that. [22] For he who was a slave when he was called in the Lord is a freedman of the Lord, likewise he who was free when he was called is a slave of Christ. [23] You were bought with a price [a precious price paid by Christ]; do not become slaves to men [but to Christ].
The Bible identifies slavery as a reality and teaches people how to deal with their situation. That’s what Chrisianity IS. Teaching Christians how to deal with their situation emphasizing faith in God as pivotal because this world ultimately doesn’t matter. The Bible is not a revolutionary book, that gives them a guide on how to rise up against the slave owning class. Jesus wasn’t Marx.
If you are interested in critiquing the Bible you should consider reading up on it. Fwiw I’m not even Christian, but i also don’t like it when atheists make poor arguments trying to “debunk” the Bible. There are much easier points to stand behind than “The NT endorses slavery” which isn’t as clear cut as the old testament.

Just blanket acceptance with zero condemnation of the practice.
Right, so no justifications as you erroneously said
It even includes moral guidelines like how to beat your human property without going to hell…
Can you tell me the verse where this is in the NT? I’m only familiar with this in the Old Testament
