Jesus thread...

[05dc5s]

You know that such scripture does not exist. Do you know why God sent the Israelites to destroy the Cannanites? They were a nation of idolaters, fornicators, murderers, child sacrifice practitioners, ect...The punishment for sin was and is death. God pronounced judgement on these people and enacted it swiftly. Do you know why He commanded that they even wipe out the cattle, sheep, ect...? He purified the land so that the Israelites would not fall into the practices of the condemned nation. We as men are all found guilty in the face of the Righteous and Holy God. He states that sin has no place with Him. The men, women, and children were all guilty of sin. As far as the children goes, no one is certain as to how they are judged. I believe the Righteous Judge does not condemn children that have no understanding of right and wrong. They were commanded to go to war with a nation and wipe it out, God gave them the ability to carry out His justice.

Listen to what you are saying. You're agree that that it was right for individuals to choose to slay innocent women and children because their practices were different from what they felt was right... unfounded I might add. They judged others and committed murder, rape, and slavery. Think about what you have read and know about Jesus, is this what he would have done or what he taught?

Take the parallel to current times. If Christians or any other religion took such an action against a nation or a group of people in the name of their god whom would support it? No good person would and Christians if they were not the ones that took such an action would proclaim such an action as sin and not something that Jesus would do. Yet, now, at this moment, you defend it and are justifying it. Why? Because if you were to begin to reject some part of your bible you may begin to question yourself and your faith. Again I believe you to be a good person with good intentions but I believe you are seeking a confirmation of your faith through these conversations.
