Subject: Why is killing enimies in the OT okay? |
Bible Note: Ok, Steve: Perhaps you've said it best: "The challenge is to see a loving God in the midst of the carnage. Finally, it becomes a choice..." A choice? Yes, there we are in agreement. I have gone over all those Books and verses that I've listed, several times--seeking. As I have approached other Christians about them, I find that very few Christians are really aware of the volume, really aware of the magnitude. Search and ask as I may, I can find no "value" reasons for the consistent orders to "kill everything in sight", including millions and millions of babies, children and women. As you suggest, though, it is a choice. My choice is to keep my jury out, hopeful that I, too, someday may see what you state you see "in the midst of all the carnage". PS: last response on this topic, and last message to post on the forum. Thank you for your insights. Mandy |
