Bible Question:
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. |
Bible Answer: 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). |
