They just turned a blind eye to large parts of the Scripture in order to enrich themselves.

Forget interpretation for a moment; what I would recommend is just to READ the Bible. Christianity starts in the New Testament; John and Acts are good places to start to get an idea of Who Christ is, and what His church is supposed to be like. In addition, the epistle to Philemon, among other passages, would shed light on how opposed the Bible truly is to the likes of chattel slavery. Again, the problem is not the Scripture; the problem is how much the Scripture is ignored and unknown.
