I will ask that we stop this discussion for a few reasons, one you cant answer the most basic simple questions about your belief or worldview. This makes discussion impossible with you, you seem willing to change what you believe to attack the bible with, you understand i think your own arguments make no sense within your own belief and/or refute your own arguments. Whenever i try to dig into discussion you ignore post and move on to some new subject. I have tried many times to nail you down to a topic you refuse and move on or you ignore all evidence that wont fit your worldview.
I agree 100% however as i have shown on thread civilians were not targeted only the military post of people guilty of sacrificing first borns for 400 years and other sins that would not make peace move or stop.
I will copy paste more of what you ignore
Here is were we differ alot, you see any death as evil I do as well death is bad in itself, but i dont see the soldiers of ww2 for America or england as guilty of genocide thoe the killed millions. I see genocide as killing a group of people for financial race greed power etc God never does this, in fact he is willing to kill the creation he died for to stop this, I dont think the god of the bible could be any more against this. God is judge of all and must judge, he never does so out of malice as those guilty of genocide do. I was just listing on radio today, there is A guy in Africa who kills abducts and forces slavery sex and murder and forces young boys into military on a very large scale, that is evil and genocide he does so for power. 100 secret forces men from America are hunting him in 3 Africa countries trying to kill him, they are not guilty of genocide in my view but are worthy of praise I wish I could help.
I had A question for you,what course of action would you take if a part of your town was sacrificing all first born babies and doing all kinds of sin, know it has been going on generation after generation and you have tried to talk with them and show there ways to be wrong. You have asked them to stop,to leave there ways and come live in your part of town, or to move away from you or to just make peace and not attack you or try to convert your population to this kind of behavior.
Nothing has worked and they are set on spreading this kind of behavior what would you do?
know tell me what kind of loving god could not judge his creation and allow what happens to go on? what of all those babies being burned alive, if we saw this today going on would we not be just and loving to stop it? would you call ajudge who orders a death sentence against a serial killer A murdered?
I used to think that wrath was unworthy of God. Isn't God love? Shouldn't divine love be beyond wrath? ?God is love,and God loves every person and every creature. That's exactly why God is wrathful against some of them. My last resistance to the idea of God's wrath was a casualty of the war in the former Yugoslavia, a region from which I come. According to some estimates, 200,000 people were killed, and over 3,000,000 were displaced. My villages and cities were destroyed, my people shelled day in and day out, some of them brutalize beyond imagination, and I could not imagine God not being angry. Or think of Rwanda in the last decade of the past century, where 800,000 people were hacked to death in one hundred days! How did God react to the carnage? By doting on the perpetrators in a grandfatherly fashion? By refusing to condemn the bloodbath but instead affirming th perpetrators' basic goodness? Wasn't God fiercely angry with them? Though I used to complain about the indecency of the idea of God's wrath, I cam to thin that I would have to rebel against a God who wasn't wrathful at the sight of the world' evil. God isn't wrathful in spite of being love. God is wrathful because God is love (Miroslav Volf as quoted in Is God a Moral Monster? by Paul Copan, 192).
notice the reason why god at times kills
Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made man.
gen 9.6
its because of the worth of man
proclaiming, "The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, 7 maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished
exodus 34 6-7
for more on why civilians were not killed and it was not genocide read post 22 or the about dozen others you ignore.
showing you never read source
not to mention as I have said over and over if the bible is wrong on this account than its not gods word and its not from god so your whole god is unjust argument fails
only the 10th or so time i have had to point this out.
I have no idea what your saying for most of this, the bible is 100% true maybe if you were to read any of my many responses titled genocide yo would find your answer. do you know how to unspoiler/
does not matter ignoring easy question.
im guessing you have never seen any of his debates tell me what are some of his arguments?quick goggle a atheist website,however they will ignore his points and try to attack him for to much problems with evolution not enough time we need more than decades
were did life come from? what produced the big bang? how do we evolve to greator complexity? how does hydrogen gas turn into people? also please tell me were Gish said this?
again so its OK for your religion to say we dont yet no but not for Gish
no worldview effect here.
I thought you were not atheist
so why I'm confused alot. I like the "lovely dodge" as you say for speed of light, because evolutes use this to explain the horizon problem
. Recent scientific American went though history of it and attempts to explain it away. Its the evolutionist distant starlight problem of there own, my guess you wont stop believing in big bang because of it or stop being atheist, yet this what you see as a problem for young earth suposivly refutes a young universe
. that damn worldview of yours. I have given many responces to this on this forum as well and will agin in main forum thread ill be doing soon. know this happens to be my fav subject and topic of my next thread in main forum so I do not wish to start here on age of earth etc. but if you keep it up I shall respons, at least we will have a topic
.
