  • Well after reading the post I can see where Dad comes from sweetie, but you must remember when mass killing needs an excuse Religion is the most commonly turned to. In reality these mass killings of women and children were stories/events that were put into the bible as a scare tactic to those who didn't convert/follow rules. The mass killings were a threat more than anything to other tribes/kingdoms on what the Israelites would do to them, but to make it look justified they said God did it. Does that make sense sweetie? While technicality it was the Israelites who did the killing, the medium they used to represent the killings became an asshole

    ...but Mom, you forgot what I stated what was the actual cause for this genocide. I stated that God's punishment isn't in response to arbitrary reasons. Remember when I said, "[b]We must remember that the punishment [or rebuke] inflicted upon anyone [in the Bible from God] was always in response to an ethical upheaval[/b]. Like in the story of Jonah, it depicted a man who was instructed to go to Nineveh in order for the city to have the opportunity to repent of it's wickedness. From an un-bias perspective, the situation describes an Israelite going to the Assyrian Capitol (not even an Israelite-affiliated nation) to demand them to repent from the wickedness they participated in daily. Unlike the Amorites, the citizens of Nineveh were ignorant, and instead of being treated with the deserved "wrath of God," they were oddly met with mercy. "A current example of this right today is exhibited by the will of God to bestow the "sword" unto the government (Rom. 13:4); therefore, [b]the government has the justified and biblical right to take a rapist or a murderer with the intention of putting him in jail or to put him to death[/b]. This form of capital punishment is consistent with Genesis 9 and consistent with God's character and attitude toward the value of man, stating, "[i]Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image[/i]" (Gen. 9:6), which is very different than saying, "Anybody can go around killing anyone for any reason." ...and if you still believe that it's in response to fear, tell me something. If you know what you do is wrong, and you still do it, shouldn't there be always be reason to be fearful for the wrong?
