1 | Jews breaking the 10 Comandments? | Ex 23:23 | Tony M | 32711 | ||
In the OT, the Jews, go into the Promised Land, murder, kill, thousands of men, women, children. Take the land , crops, vineyards, homes, towns, etc., of those living there. This is not long after God had given the Ten Comandments, telling them not to murder, steal, covet, etc. I believe they were right in doing this, because they were obeying God's orders, but does anybody else see the contradictions here? I realize that God used the Jewish people to punish these idolaters and sinful people(Gentiles living in the Promise Land), but I just wondered if anybody has a comment or explanation. |

2 | Jews breaking the 10 Comandments? | Ex 23:23 | Searcher56 | 32712 | ||
Scripture ... Exo 23:23, Jos 7:10ff ... Tony M, Greetings. They were the insturamnts of God's destroying these people. There is no contradiction. God did not say to murder. When Achan took when he should not have, God called it sin - he was killed (Jos 7:10ff). |

3 | Jews breaking the 10 Comandments? | Ex 23:23 | Tony M | 32932 | ||
Thanks for responding Searcher56, I said in my original question that I knew they were responding to Gods commands, therefore I think they did what they were suppose to do. BUT.... the fact is they invaded, killed and took over these peoples country. The Canninites(?) were there because the Hebrews voluntarily went to Egypt many years earlier. Over 10 years ago Iraq tried to do the same thing to Kuwait(?). The whole world was in an uproar about it, and ran them back home.(yes, I know that God did not command them to do it). I am not anti Jewish or anything of the sort, It just looks like they broke about 1/2 of the 10 Commandments. The OT is full of God commanded punishments to many peoples. I guess I'll just have to fall back on the fact that 'God's plan is perfect'! |
