Bible Question:
To: Tim Moran, Makarios, Hank, Ray, Emmaus. I hope you were around. How a Loving and just God commanded such things? 1Sa 15:3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. We can maybe assume that amalek was very evil person, how about the infants? Eze 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. Why the must kill the infants? they unskilfull about righteousness. Heb 5:13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. God bless, |
Bible Answer: Johnny, It is God's way of cleansing the earth of sinful people on a smaller scale than the Flood of Noah. The bible is full of passages in which God says he is using one people to chastise another. See for example Isaiah 10:5-7, 13-16. and consider that the Assyrians for all practical purposes wiped out the ten "lost" tribes of Israel. The wrath of God is no small thing. Emmaus |
