Why do you even use the words "Just to clarify"?
ReplyDeleteAn inerrant word requires no clarification.
Interesting how atheists accuse Christians of "picking and choosing" Bible verses to fit their world view; yet atheists do the same thing by "picking and choosing" Bible verse to prove that the Bible is an "evil book of lies." Way to show that atheists also manage to take the Bible out-of-context, usually more so than Christians.

ReplyDeleteOne thing that is not mentioned is that any war-like action by Israel was to begin with an offer of peace as, for example, is stated in Deuteronomy 20:10 states, “When you march up to attack a city, make its people an offer of peace.” Moreover, Jeremiah 18:8 states, “If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.”
That doesn't make it any better. Why to kill civilians and/or children of your enemies if you don't have to?
Also, God performed stupendous miracles, such as the events during the exodus from Egypt, in order to get the attention of the Gentile Pagan nations so that they would repent and give up [sic] worshipping their false gods with their human/child sacrifices—God gave them centuries to repent.
And then ordered to kill those very same children?
