What miserable justificacao and apologetics. Even the Klu Klux Klan have a more humane manifesto than the "one true jealous God". Appalling.

All humanity is under the death sentence. 10 out of 10 dies.

Good,

The children are born with the same spirit that is in their parents. They would grow up to replace the old nation that we need to get rid off. The offspring of a snake is a snake,

It is an act of mercy that the children did not grow up to become like their parents. They are now safe in the presence of our Lord.

This is one of the vilest things I have read from foolish religious people on Nairaland and I have read some shit on this website.

I have one response to this: Bleep THAT GOD!

It is your choice whether you are to face an angry God on the day of Judgment or to repent and believe the gospel now and safe your neck from the impending Judgment Day.

The main thing is that there is ZERO involvement of God in the bible or any other book. These books are just misleading and deceiving people.

Are you calling God a liar? undecided

The funny thing is that most enemies of God sitting on their high moral throne here have either committed murder through abortion or hatred in their hearts.

Rationalisation is man's only true genius, the ability to rationalise any act regardless of how reprehensible sets religion apart. Of course the gratuitous violence of the OT is a witness to the blood lust of the early Israelites all in the name of Yahweh, it could be argued that they knew no better.

Justifying those actions today in the 21st century simply shows that some religionists are without conscience and morally bankrupt.

And what do you base your moral judgment on? Are you saying you are morally righteous? If so take this test. www.NeedGod.com

One thing about religiosity all over the world is that the followers in the midst of doubts and obvious facts will begin to search for answers t defend their religions.
You have done well Op but the truth still remains untouched, many were massacred in the old testament.
God chose sides

You better be on the Lord's side. cool

Boko haram and ISIS are probably bringing down judgement on the wicked people of the world..... Chai especially Nigeria the land of corruption.... No wonder!!!

Muhammad was probably also killing jews to purge away those with spirits that wont accept christ..... Hmm.... Eternal justice. Nice post

"The thief comes not but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" (John 10:10).

If this thread was created in reference to the qur'an, I can imagine how this post would have reached page 500 by now with so much hatred and insults towards muslim/islam. It is ok to justify ordering of killings by God in one holy book but not in other. anyway do whatever makes you happy, and please stop the hypocrisy.

The difference here is that the God of the Bible is the giver of life and the allah of the qur'an is not. smiley

Your answers leave a lot to the imagination especially when it comes to the massacre of infants.

My take: There are certain questions about God that we cannot answer despite our trying to twist or wrest scripture or history to fit our hypotheses.

We end up compounding the problem or making a complete ass of ourselves when we try to rationalize certain 'divine' precepts.

The long and short of it is that we should fear God and depart from iniquity. cool

nothing without a cause and effect, you have a duty to use ur God given brain to THINK!!!!!!!!! while others were busy thinking, unravelling puzzles about our world and universe, gone to the moon and done space explorations, we still look up to the sky to pray. THINK!!!!! USE UR HEAD TO THINK

With all the use of your head could you not come to the knowledge of the existence of God? undecided

How a human can justify genocide in the name of religion defies logic.

You call it genocide God calls it judgment.

wirinet:


The bolded part of the quote is the same excuse ISIS uses in the genocide against Yazidi tribe of northern syria that practices a different religion from ISIS. From ISIS perspective, the destruction of Yazidis is directed more at their religion.

ISIS may use the same excuse but that does not make it right. If the Israelites had done a proper job they would be no ISIS today.

wirinet:


I am sorry to say, but the above quote shows you are mentally unstable. You are saying it is right for God (through his elect of course) to murder whole tribes and people because it is God that gives life. So how does this your God pass his message to you on which people you should murder?

God is the Judge you are not. God says it is a sin to murder. It is only God that can take life you haven't got any right to take the life you could not give.

wirinet:


You are truly sick, i swear. If these are really christian values, then christianity should be banned from any decent human society.

We know the real reason you atheists are out in arms against your Creator is because you are looking for excuse to continue in your sinful lifestyle. You will all be accountable to your Creator on Judgment Day.
