Numbers 23:19, states that "God is not a man that He should lie....."
So He is not only honest, but it is impossible for Him to lie. So the attack on His character is null & void....
Saul was not "asked". He was "commanded" (1 Samuel 15:3).
Now Saul then either could follow or "not" follow the instructions....and he chose to not fully follow the instructions (1 Samuel 15: 7-9).
However, you say paraphrased, that " God destroyed the Amalekites simply because they didn't observe His ways"?
Please provide the scripture passage (s) & context in which you arrived at that statement.
I know so much controversy exists around the word "free-will" here on NL Religion section.....and folks just don't understand the word.
However, be careful summarizing an event in the Bible....and then twisting words such as "free-will" to somehow "fit" into the scenario.
It's important to go ".....line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little, there a little."
Understanding the context of a scripture passage is vital brother.....so try next time to provide the scripture passage so people can understand rather than summarizing your "opinion" smiley

I believe strongly with the help of Jesus' words that YAHWEH never asked Saul to destroy Amalakites. They lied upon oo

So that is to say that the Bible is filled with error and falsehood right?

I don't know where the poster got the history he was speaking about from, but I agree with him, because according to the DOCTUFOS HISTORY which I have with me, the acts of Faulkin(Yeshu) as a thief were well recorded there. Here is it below:

Doctufos: Batimeus 14:1-10

1. Now Yeshu led us to the treasure house at night as usual with him. And he said, take your swords with you, for there are some who shall confront us. 2. And we went and when we had approached the treasure house of Solmani, we saw some who came also to steal from the treasure house. 3. And they said, you shall not enter in before us but we shall go in before you. And Yeshu said, go in, for he knew that some homos were also in the treasure house already, whom the government had assigned to keep it because of the continual robbery. 4. Now the gang entered in and were caught unprepared. And they fought against the guards and killed themselves, such that only a few were left; two of the thieves and one of the guards. 5. And Yeshu said, we should go in now. So we went in and saw that there were three homos left, who were very weak and tired. 6. And Yeshu said, tie them up. So Petra and Yacob bent low and tied them up, against the poles. And Yeshu said, take the goods and let us depart. So we took as much goods as we wanted. 7. And Petra said, master, shall iskariot take all these to his house? Is it not too much for him to bear the weight of all? And Yeshu said, you shall go with him on another donkey to his house. 8. And you shall return after he has kept all. 9. Now iskariot began to take of the treasure which he kept. And he did much almsdeed, which Yeshu himself did not command. 10. And Yeshu knew it and said, O iskariot, do not take from the treasure which belongs to us to give to the poor. For in the day that we shall do this, we shall do it together and benefit from the glory of it together.

Oga, you are misinterpreting freewill. Freewill doesn't mean you will not face the consequences of your choice.

If you decide to be obedience to God, it means you choose life. If you choose to be disobedient, it means you've choosen death.
Re: Is God Honest? by rexben(m): 2:09pm On Jul 23, 2017
What do you mean by your post? God is always honest. He created you and you can't question Him

@Mayhem Lord,


The christian god said that he gave us dominion over animals!!! I wonder how many christians have been attacked by animals in the past!!! Most times, when this happens, they run for their lives!!!....................................................Then when they are far away and in a safe location, they puff out their chest and say,"GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN ME, THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD"!!!
