Re: Why Do Christians Lie That God Doesnt Condone Killing And Accept Human Sacrifice

I really did not want to say anything because this issue has been flogged numerous times here.

I loved your analogy about the child beating scenario, it was really really good but I think the mistake we keep making is that God is responsible for all this, and this is not about boxing God into what I think he should be but because those murders were plain wrong. I could go on to challenge you if you know what the constitution of Nigeria is on child welfare but I don't want us to derail this thread. Murder is a grey area, it is taking somebody's life, it is a serious issue. Let me give you an analogy, if say I was born in calabar when the killing of twins reigned supreme and my wife gave birth to a set of twins who were murdered, it does not make it any less wrong because it was the culture of the town. It is plain and simply wrong, whether or not we should blame them becomes another issue entirely that bears on this one because they were men who believed they were doing the will of the gods just        as you believe moses and his goons were doing the will of God, it does not make the issue any less wrong.
Now case scenario one is that Moses did it all on his own following the laws of the land as made by the limited knowledge of man, then Moses is to blame in part because they were wrong regardless of if he thought he was doing the right thing.
The other scenario is that God really did instruct him as depicted in the bible, in this case God is to blame, because senseless murder of innocent children and women and men is wrong no matter how you cut it.
But hold on, we are talking about God here, he is supposed to know way before hand that murder was wrong!
