Bible Note: Tim, could you explain to me how these passages are "in harmony"? He said to them, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'Every man of you put his sword upon his thigh, and go back and forth from gate to gate in the camp, and kill every man his brother, and every man his friend, and every man his neighbor.'" - Ex 22:27 "Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man intimately." - Num 31:17 Now when Israel had finished killing all the inhabitants of Ai in the field in the wilderness where they pursued them, and all of them were fallen by the edge of the sword until they were destroyed, then all Israel returned to Ai and struck it with the edge of the sword. - Joshua 8:24 Versus: "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly." - John 10:10 "But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you," - Matt 5:44 "But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you," - Luke 6:27 "But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men." - Luke 6:35 How are all these verses "in harmony" with one another and teach us, according to God's Word, a unified teaching concerning what we should do with our enemies? |
