When they read nice stories in the old testament they smile,but when they read the genocide parts they will simply say that was the old laws. Christians are inconsistent.

crusadistic:
the bible claims God ordered them,is Jesus not God again? seems you xtians only use the 'old testament' when it suits you.

Let me ask you a question can a goat go to the sea and swim or can a whale come to land and be walking? Both of them would surely die. Why?

The answer is simple if you ignore the law by which you are created under you would face the wrath of your creator which is death. The same law is with Humans, God created us in his image and we are supposed to abide by his laws and do according to what he intended us to do. When we fail to do these then God would in his wrath deliver judgement to us.

As for the thread this is my response, the questions you asked are because you do not understand the bible, I would explain it in three points to you.

1. Personal Admonitions Versus National Interests - First Understand the Context
Before we get too far into examining whether the Bible portrays God inconsistently, we need to first understand the context in which the individual passages are given. This is an important point to remember in trying to understand any difficult portion of Scripture. We must always interpret the verse in light of the context in which it was written since that can drastically color the meaning the passage takes on.
When we look at Old Testament passages such as Joshua 6:17 or Judges 20:43-48, one point we note is that the commands of God are addressed on a national level. Here God is instructing Israel as a forming nation. Christ's command to turn the other cheek and pray for those who persecute you are directed to individuals on how they should deal with other individuals who offend them.
So we must note that trying to draw a comparison between these passages is strained from the outset. They are addressed to two totally different audience types (a political government versus individuals) and two different sets of circumstances (establishing a new nation versus dealing with a personal wrong).
Another point we note is that the commands given to Joshua and the people of Israel were for a single circumstance where God was instructing them. They were to destroy all of the inhabitants of Jericho, but that command did not extend beyond them, and it was to only happen during that timeframe. This command of God did not give the Israelites license to just wipe out anyone who they deemed as in their way.
The instructions of Jesus, however, are general admonitions for life. They are guidelines for how we can be more loving to our fellow human beings and they help instill a spirit of selflessness in our individual characters. Also, they are not to be taken as hard and fast rules. When Jesus Himself was struck on the cheek by an officer of the Sanhedrin, He did not turn to offer His other cheek, but challenged the officer who had struck Him (ref. John 18:22-23).
In all, we can see that comparing these kind of passages and claiming they are contradictory is flawed right from the outset. However, this doesn't quite get us out of the woods yet. Your question also focuses on the nature of God. If God is all-loving, then how can He command the wholesale destruction of an entire population?

2. Guidelines for Protecting an Infant Nation
As I pointed out above, many of the Old Testament passages brought up in this are limited to a specific period in Israel's history - one in which Israel was just starting to establish itself as a new nation. And we must remember God had a very specific plan for the nation Israel - it would be the nation that would give the world God's word (ref. Rom. 3:2), and even more importantly, it would be the nation out of which the Messiah would come (Matthew 2:4-6).
Because Israel was to provide the very elements from which all the people of the world would be saved, the survival and protection of the nation was paramount. Therefore, God gave the infant nation a special measure of protection when establishing it in the land of Canaan. This is entirely consistent with God's character.
Take for instance when you were in primary school you were told how to count you could solve 5 - 2 easily but when it comes to 2 - 5 you would be taught that it is impossible. But when you get to primary 4 you would be thought that 2 - 5 is -3. Is this being inconsistent. No, it's merely recognizing that certain protections are necessary and those rules will change when that maturity level of the individual increases.
Similarly, Israel, as an immature nation with a very new religious system needed to be sheltered from the idolatry of the Canaanite nations, who would have corrupted Israel's worship of the true God and garbled its message to the rest of the world.

3. Different Aspects of God's Character are not Contradictory.
Beyond the protection God provides to Israel, another reason God would command such action is simply to apply His justice to a wicked nation. In Genesis 15:16, Abram first asks about possessing the land, God tells him that the time is not yet right "for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full." In other words, God was going to give the nations of Canaan additional time to repent ant turn from their wicked ways. When they didn't, God chose to se Israel to bring His judgment upon them. Similarly, God used Assyria and Babylon to judge Israel later in its history.
Although the punishments of God may appear to some as out of character with His mercifulness and love, it is not true that these are contradictory attributes. Justice is necessary to show love to the victims of evil. If God did not punish those who perpetrate evil, we would not only consider Him unrighteous but uncaring as well. When reading some of these isolated instances in the scripture, we are not privy to the extent of their actions and why God feels they should be judged, so we tend to think of the judgment as unfair. But God is God; He is in the position to judge His creation and because of that He doesn't need to justify His actions to us with an explanation why a nation deserves judgment.
Throughout the Bible, God is portrayed as not only loving and long-suffering, but also a righteous judge who will come to punish the unrepentant and the wicked. This is as true in the New Testament as in the Old. The Book of Revelation specifically speaks about God's judgment on the nations and His wholesale destruction of nations. Similarly, the Old Testament highlights instances where god reached out to sinning nations and gave them unusual grace. The Ninevites were extended a chance to repent in the book of Jonah, even though their deeds were wicked. So the character of God remains consistent throughout the Bible.
I hope this discussion has helped reconcile some of the divergent perceptions that one can draw from different aspects of God's character. God acts in a loving way when He protects an infant nation in order to bring salvation to the world. He acts lovingly when He metes out judgment to a wicked nation. Those who may clam these are contradictory in nature can't support their position with instances such as these. It would be unloving for God to act in any other way.

Most times.....wen i read tru the bible and I learn about the mass killings and all...I shudder....and most times get frightened.....................

Av asked most of my Christian counterparts.....but no one seems to have a reasonable explanation for all the killings.....
Yea...yea.... Unbeleivers were killed.....so are u saying its right to kill whoever does'nt support ur 'God'

Before people start attacking me for 'blasphemy' take ur time and read tru the bible passages above....and ask ur self..... Was all the bloodshed and genocide really neccessary..? Did d isrealites have to kill off all the canaanites just because they wanted their Land?

These are questions that need serious answers.

you are full of anger and bitterness, the Name 'God' is making you uncomfortable, whenever someone mention God, you rush to coment just to insult him and blasphemy the name of God. What the point in arguing with a FOOL who say God does not exist but he claims, God commit genocide, a foolish atheist indeed.

@op . Let start like this. Give me one verse were God kill innocent people.

Verse from where? God is not what the bible calls it. The original version of the story claimed Extraterrestrial beings did all these stuff but the bible put down God. Using the bible is me agreeing that a plagiarized book is now authentic.

I am not agree,I only like to help people see what they are getting wrong. It is not my problem if you believe in agod. It doesn't affect me in any way

what do you call "help people" to insult them and their belief is what you call help ? You must be joking. Go and removed the beem in your eyes so that you will see clearly to removed others people own. Peace!!

Fiction is a lie and we all agree that a lie cannot stand the test of time. The words of Jesus has remain the same for over 2000 years and more and more people are hearing about him daily. If it were fiction would the 12 disciples who were mostly illiterates then have been to obey him till death. Think about it lies always find a way of getting to us at the end of the day.

I do not just say accept God and your problems are gone but that you should search for the truth with your whole heart.

When you were young, your dad used spanking to correct you when you erred, right? As you are old now, if you really are, having gone all through the required upbringing and training under him, does he still spank you the way he use to?
If your answer is No, then does that mean that he has changed his standard towards you?
If your answer is Yes, then i can pardon and feel sorry for you for asking such ignorant question.

All your epistles serve no purpose except you add one truth:
which is that god changes according to seasons i.e man made
god in his own image, thus racist and semi-autonomous israelite made their god racist
and vindictive, but when they were under roman authority(time of
jesus) , they preached peace and love.
What an opportunistic god!

You call it out of context but thousands lose their lives to those
barbaric injuctions.
Are those precious lives terminated by israelites under god's
command out of context ?
Or are you denying that israelites fought wars ?
