Nonsense! I already answered these earlier. You simply wish to argue blindly. All these your rehashed arguments day in day out even after they have been thoroughly trashed, binned, shredded and burnt.


Your answers as to an all knowing God repenting of his evil deeds as written inside the bible is WHAT? Where did you answer it?

Are there any other Nairalander who will explain why God commanded the killing of people?

And further buttress how a perfect, and loving God ended up with the full-time job of killing his most precious creation?

You have started again with your lies. It seems lies flow very easily from you. She did NOT recant her words. She only said she remember you post the pictures of your son on another thread and you also said you mum was from.Ukraine. Even at that she expressed skepticism because she said it's difficult to believe anything you said. Show.me where she recanted her words and said you are not a liar or that you have no allegations against you. Show me.

The bible has God repenting and apologizing for the evil which he committed against the people.

The only way out of this Christianity bondage is the willingness to stop deceiving your self with ready-made answers.

I thought Ebuka has finally made a reasonable explanation of the crude massacres attributed to a perfect creator.

What absurdity?!

Do you even mind these Christians?

If God is all knowing, why does he still create people whom he knows are going to hell, and why does he erase one's name from the "book of life" when one sins, and then rewrite the name when the person repents/ask for forgiveness?? What kind of child's play is that by a supposed "all knowing" being

that's the Canaan story... I've said something similar to what the man in the video said... he was able to point to a book that gave more information about the story..
although many websites tried justifying the killings, this man was smart enough to point to an external source that had more information for him to draw his conclusion.... his explanations make sense to a great extent

as for me... I've not read the book he made reference to... and i wasn't still there...

so i guess i still don't have enough information to draw conclusions

Exactly !

The Canaanites were wicked people who committed despicable acts against humanity . And God gave 400 years to change , 400 years . shocked shocked

And like I said earlier , the same God also made Israel vulnerable to their enemies who also massacred them as way of imposing his Judgement on them anytime they were errant - they behaved like their pagan neighbors .

I feel like God in all his glory surely could have found a better way to correct these wicked people rather than commanding them to be wiped off the face of the earth.

400 years is meaningless to God (seeing as he is not bound by time or space) and he is also all knowing and can do all things (frankly, I don't see the point of all the brouhaha of waiting for the Canaanites to change when the change could simply be willed. I mean, he had no problem with hardening Pharoah's heart so not messing with free will is out of the way. )

The Israelites were supposed to be a shining light to the other nations of the world but did they go about it in the best way possible? Why couldn't they show the world a better way to go about doing things rather than pillaging lands and killing children?

Couldn't they have been a force for peace rather than war? Couldn't they have not repayed evil for evil? Couldn't they have showed the other nations of the world the path to the one true God?

Now you are sounding angry.

Go sip on some ice cold water then answer my simple question.

IF THE HUMAN LAW GIVERS STILL BREAK THE VERY LAW THEY GIVE SO WHO THEN SAYS THEIR LAW IS PERFECT OR WHO GAVE THE LAW THEY GAVE THE SEAL OF AUTHORITY AS THE FINAL ARBITER FOR MANKIND?

Those who are tried and convicted still come out and break other laws. So how can laws curb crime when there are so many more to break both knowingly and unknowingly after all the same law says IGNORANCE IS NO EXCUSE
Who ever said the law is perfect?? I said it's the best we've ever had. Better than anything your god could conjure, either law or grace. Or can u show how law or grace has made the world a better place.
U people will justify genocide when it's committed by god. But when boko haram kill Christians in doing the bidding of their god, u say Islam is a violent religion. Hypocrisy of the highest order

Williams Craig mentioned in the video that the Canaanites were, according to ancient history outside biblical text , morally despicable wicked people . And that their culture was grossly immoral, decadent even to its roots.

The Canaanites practiced divination, witchcraft, female and male temple sex, adultery, homosexuality, transvestitism, pederasty (men sexually abused boys), bestiality and incest.

And if you look at Genesis 19:30 -36 we can see that after Sodom - a Canaanite city - was destroyed by God , daughters of Lot made their own father drunk - this according to history was one of the sexual practices known to the city (incest) which was just annihilated .

The Canaanites also practiced child sacrifice. And according to Lev 18 : 21 God had commanded that the Israelites should never give their children to be sacrificed to Molech .

Here is what Molech looks like :

Molech was a Canaanite underworld deity represented as an upright, bull-headed idol with human body in whose belly a fire was stoked and in whose outstretched arms a child was placed that would be burned to death

And I discovered that it wasn't just infants who were victims of this nauseatingly wicked practice , even toddlers were scarified to Molech . Also note that archaeological evidence proves that the children were burned to death in their thousands . So much wickedness that God now commanded the Israelites to exterminate them after 400 years of reprieve .

And according to Philosophers like Paul Copan all the archaeological evidence available indicates that there were no civilian populations that existed at Jericho, Ai, and other cities mentioned in the book of Joshua .

Philosopher Paul Copan also explained that :

“Joshua’s conventional warfare rhetoric was common in many other ancient Near Eastern military accounts in the second and first millennia B.C.” Therefore, phrases like “utterly destroy” (haram), or “put to death men and women, children, and infants”—as well as other “obliteration language”—were stock “stereotypical” idioms used even when women or children were not present. It decreed total victory (much like your favorite sports team “wiping out” the opposition), not complete annihilation.

So William Craig was right .
