I think now you agreed that God kill. Do you also agree your God also lie? There is no morality in any form for killing humans. Especially when you yourself disobey the law.

Do you know human government in Nigeria prohibited punishment by death? Can you prove if the Bible God created the humans.
That 's why i asked you .personally to answer yes or no. would you kill or be killed .?

What can you say about a man who stole 200 naira to eat? This stealing is for a cause. It is either justify by his thoughts or not but the acts is STEALING. Your God kill for some many reasons as you said but what we see there is KILLING. YOUR GOD DO EVIL FOR REASONS BEST KNOWN TO HIM.
Stealing to eat .is still Sin and wrong. God destoryed those people becos they were unrightous and God is a holy God.
I guess U wanted God to be weak and so lovely that he can not carry out Justice.
You forgot that true love will always correct and reprove.

in Genesis 15:16
God told Abraham that his decendants will be slaves in a foreign land becos the land which he wanted to give them was inhabitted by the Amorites who were very sinful. but God told Abraham that him(God) will allow the Childeren of Isreal to spend 430 yrs in exile , waiting for the Amorites to change or repent. which they did not. so God warns and forgives those who repents.
see the bible verses

New International Version
In the fourth generation your descendants will
come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure."

New Living Translation
After four generations your descendants will
return here to this land, for the sins of the
Amorites do not yet warrant their destruction."

English Standard Version
And they shall come back here in the fourth
generation, for the iniquity of the Amorites is
not yet complete.”

New American Standard Bible
"Then in the fourth generation they will return
here, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet
complete."

King James Bible
But in the fourth generation they shall come
hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is
not yet full.

You have not answered any of my questions. What made you think you have answered my question. You asked me of a case of robbers planning to kill you. And you have the chance to kill them will you not kill them? Is this not your question? If I can understand you, killing is permitted to defend yourself. Killing is killing no matter your intention. Are you saying there is holy killing? Or white lie?
"It is not for your righteousness or for the
uprightness of your heart that you are going
to possess their land, but it is because of the
wickedness of these nations that the LORD
your God is driving them out before you, in
order to confirm the oath which the LORD
swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob. ( Deuteronomy 9:5)
Okay, how "wicked" could those people have
been? How about killing their own sons and
daughters by burning them in sacrifices to their
gods:
"You shall not behave thus toward the LORD
your God, for every abominable act which
the LORD hates they have done for their
gods; for they even burn their sons and
daughters in the fire to their gods.
( Deuteronomy 12:31)
The wickedness of these people is confirmed in
other verses of the Bible.3 So we see that these
people are not quite as innocent as the atheists
would like you to believe. The fact that these
people practiced child sacrifice is also confirmed
in the secular writings of the Greeks.4 Then again,
maybe those atheists believe that killing your
children is not all bad. After all, killing viable pre-
born babies is legal in this country (it's called a
choice, a.k.a. abortion). For these reasons (and
others5), God ordered the destruction of the
peoples whom the Israelites dispossessed.
Did God kill any innocent people along with the
evil ones? When God was about to destroy the
cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham asked
God if He would destroy the cities if there were
50 righteous people in them.6 God said no. Then
Abraham asked the same question if there were
45 righteous people. Every time he dropped the
number and got the same answer. The fact is that
God would not have destroyed those cities if
there were any righteous people in them. The few
righteous who were in those cities He warned
ahead of time to get out.7 So, God does not
destroy the righteous along with the evil.
God's judgment of people groups found in the
Old Testament actually pales in comparison to
the judgment He will render at the end of time.
According to the New Testament Book of
Revelation, God will judge and kill billions of
people who reject Him when Jesus returns,
including 200 million killed in a single battle.8
Such large armies have never existed in the
history of mankind until the last 100 years,
suggesting the this judgment could come at any
time.

LOL. That is the doctrine of the OMEGA FAITH. The New Age Religion.
Maybe you shd show where you give us a verse to hold on to. because my Bible tells me that;
Rev. 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him with which he deceived them that had received the MARK OF THE BEAST, and THE THAT WORSHIPPED HIS IMAGE. these were both cast ALIVE into the LAKE OF FIRE. burning with brimstone.

Rev20:10, And the devil that deceived them was cast into the LAKE OF FIRE and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented DAY AND NIGHT FOR EVER AND EVER.
Preach any kind of message, on that day, if your name is not found written in the book of life, you will go to Hellfire.
Nobody will send you there. You will go there on your own, because your name is not found where it shd be.
I Laugh! you allow people to read and understand the bible for you.

(1). He broke the Sabbath day.

(2). He insulted his mother breaking the commandment to honour his mother.

(3). He coveted a donkey breaking the commandment "don't covet".

Why was he baptized if not for sin? After all he is God.
Lol gush U are unbelieavble. i told you before your problem is your IQ not the bible.

Jesus never broke the sabbath day. he only used that act to illustrate that resting on the sabbath should not mean that one will not do good to others. Unable to keep the Law,
however, the Pharisees had instituted a complex
and confusing system of Sabbath laws of their
own that was oppressive and legalistic. They had
set up strict laws regarding how to observe the
Sabbath, which included 39 categories of
forbidden activities. In essence, these religious
leaders had made themselves lords of the
Sabbath, thus making themselves lords over the people. thus people were enslaved to sabbath keeping.
How did he insult his mother?
ee, Luke 8:19-21,Mark 3:31-35, and Matthew
12:48-50) The account from St Matthew presents
the encounter in these words:
"While Jesus was speaking to the crowds, his
mother and his brothers appeared outside,
wishing to speak with him. Someone told him,
"Your mother and your brothers are standing
outside, asking to speak with you." But he said in
reply to the one who told him, "Who is my
mother? Who are my brothers?" And stretching
out his hand toward his disciples, he said, "Here
are my mother and my brothers. For whoever
does the will of my heavenly Father is my
brother, and sister, and mother."
Did Jesus Insult His Mother?
it is obviously No

So when you make or buy a car . and you demand for it that means to covert?.
JESUS is the maker of all things including the donkey. he does not need to covert what he has already.

You are trying hard to discredit God . but you keep failing.

JESUS was baptized as a symbol for the atonement of our sins. not becos he had sin.

2corinthians 5:21

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who
knew no sin; that we might be made the
righteousness of God in him.

Did you just mentioned ignorance? Is the God of old Testament different from the new testaments? Is it not the same God? War or no war, Why can't the all powerful God put a though into them to leave their land for Isreal? After all, He created your thoughts and so he can create another thought ehn? Why must he do it through war? Is there no alternatives other than wars? He allows slaves to be captured, is he not the one that created those slaves? You said your God is a just God?

He made us know there were/are slaves and gave them laws on how they should be treated, check the quoted verses(both testaments). Why did he allow the capture of slaves at first?

Exodus 21:16 - And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death...

Titus 2:9-10 - [Exhort] servants to be obedient unto their own masters, [and] to please [them] well in all [things]; not answering again....

The above is one the hundreds of the Bible references that support slavery directly or indirectly. In the book of exodus chapter 21 verses 1 to the end, there are laws for acquisition of slaves.

with a rod and he dies at his hand, he shall
be punished." ( Exodus 21:20)
"If a man strikes the eye of his male or
female slave, and destroys it, he shall let
him go free on account of his eye. "And if he
knocks out a tooth of his male or female
slave, he shall let him go free on account of
his tooth." ( Exodus 21:26-27)
"He who strikes a man so that he dies shall

2. "Six days you are to do your work, but on
the seventh day you shall cease from labor
so that your ox and your donkey may rest,
and the son of your female slave, as well as
your stranger, may refresh themselves.
( Exodus 23:12)
3. Do not slander a slave to his master, Or he
will curse you and you will be found guilty.
( Proverbs 30:10)
4. 'Now if a man lies carnally with a woman
who is a slave acquired for another man, but
who has in no way been redeemed nor given
her freedom, there shall be punishment;
they shall not, however, be put to death,
because she was not free. ( Leviticus 19:20)
5. "You shall not hand over to his master a
slave who has escaped from his master to
you. ( Deuteronomy 23:15)
6. 'If a countryman of yours becomes so poor
with regard to you that he sells himself to
you, you shall not subject him to a slave's
service. 'He shall be with you as a hired
man, as if he were a sojourner; he shall
serve with you until the year of jubilee. 'He
shall then go out from you, he and his sons
with him, and shall go back to his family,
that he may return to the property of his
forefathers. 'For they are My servants whom I
brought out from the land of Egypt; they are
not to be sold in a slave sale. 'You shall not
rule over him with severity, but are to revere
your God. ( Leviticus 25:39-43)
"If you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve for
six years; but on the seventh he shall go out
as a free man without payment." ( Exodus

7. He who pampers his slave from childhood
Will in the end find him to be a son.
( Proverbs 29:21)
8. From the secular source, Pliny the Younger
Letters 10.96-97 to Emperor Trajan: "They
asserted, however, that the sum and
substance of their fault or error had been
that they were accustomed to meet on a fixed
day before dawn and sing responsively a
hymn to Christ as to a god... Accordingly, I
judged it all the more necessary to find out
what the truth was by torturing two female
slaves who were called deaconesses. But I
discovered nothing else but depraved,
excessive superstition.... Meanwhile, in the
case of those who were denounced to me as
Christians, I have observed the following
procedure: I interrogated these as to whether
they were Christians; those who confessed I
interrogated a second and a third time,
threatening them with punishment; those
who persisted I ordered executed. For I had
no doubt that, whatever the nature of their
creed, stubbornness and inflexible obstinacy
surely deserve to be punished."
9. Were you called while a slave? Do not worry
about it; but if you are able also to become
free, rather do that. For he who was called in
the Lord while a slave, is the Lord's
freedman; likewise he who was called while
free, is Christ's slave. You were bought with a
price; do not become slaves of men. (1
Corinthians 7:21-23)
10. Every person is to be in subjection to the
governing authorities. For there is no
authority except from God, and those which
exist are established by God. Therefore
whoever resists authority has opposed the
ordinance of God; and they who have
opposed will receive condemnation upon
themselves. For rulers are not a cause of fear
for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want
to have no fear of authority? Do what is good
and you will have praise from the same; for
it is a minister of God to you for good. But if
you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not
bear the sword for nothing; for it is a
minister of God, an avenger who brings
wrath on the one who practices evil.
Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection,
not only because of wrath, but also for
conscience' sake. For because of this you
also pay taxes, for rulers are servants of
God, devoting themselves to this very thing.
Render to all what is due them: tax to whom
tax is due; custom to whom custom; fear to
whom fear; honor to whom honor. Owe
nothing to anyone except to love one
another; for he who loves his neighbor has
fulfilled the law. ( Romans 13:1-cool
11. Slaves, be obedient to those who are your
masters according to the flesh, with fear and
trembling, in the sincerity of your heart, as
to Christ; not by way of eyeservice, as men-
pleasers, but as slaves of Christ, doing the
will of God from the heart. With good will
render service, as to the Lord, and not to
men, knowing that whatever good thing each
one does, this he will receive back from the
Lord, whether slave or free. ( Ephesians
6:5-cool
Slaves, in all things obey those who are your
masters on earth, not with external service,
as those who merely please men, but with
sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. Whatever
you do, do your work heartily, as for the
Lord rather than for men, knowing that from
the Lord you will receive the reward of the
inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you
serve. For he who does wrong will receive
the consequences of the wrong which he has
done, and that without partiality. ( Colossians
3:22-25)
Servants, be submissive to your masters
with all respect, not only to those who are
good and gentle, but also to those who are
unreasonable. For this finds favor, if for the
sake of conscience toward God a person
bears up under sorrows when suffering
unjustly. For what credit is there if, when
you sin and are harshly treated, you endure
it with patience? But if when you do what is
right and suffer for it you patiently endure it,
this finds favor with God. For you have been
called for this purpose, since Christ also
suffered for you, leaving you an example for
you to follow in His steps, ( 1 Peter 2:18-21)
12. All who are under the yoke as slaves are to
regard their own masters as worthy of all
honor so that the name of God and our
doctrine will not be spoken against. Those
who have believers as their masters must
not be disrespectful to them because they
are brethren, but must serve them all the
more, because those who partake of the
benefit are believers and beloved. Teach and
preach these principles. ( 1 Timothy 6:1-2)
13. And masters, do the same things to them,
and give up threatening, knowing that both
their Master and yours is in heaven, and
there is no partiality with Him. ( Ephesians
6:9)
14. Masters, grant to your slaves justice and
fairness, knowing that you too have a Master
in heaven. ( Colossians 4:1)
15. Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy
our brother, To Philemon our beloved
brother and fellow worker, ( Philemon 1:1)

Grace to you and peace from God our Father
and the Lord Jesus Christ. ( Philemon 1:3)
I thank my God always, making mention of
you in my prayers, ( Philemon 1:4)

which you have toward the Lord Jesus and
toward all the saints; ( Philemon 1:5)
and I pray that the fellowship of your faith
may become effective through the knowledge
of every good thing which is in you for
Christ's sake. ( Philemon 1:6)
For I have come to have much joy and
comfort in your love, because the hearts of

The above is one the hundreds of the Bible references that support slavery directly or indirectly. In the book of exodus chapter 21 verses 1 to the end, there are laws for acquisition of slaves.
The idea that God or Christianity encourages or
approves of slavery is shown to be false. In fact,
anybody who was caught selling another person
into slavery was to be executed. However, since
voluntary slavery was widely practiced during
biblical times, the Bible proscribes laws to
protect the lives and health of slaves. Paul, the
author of many of the New Testament writings,
virtually ordered the Christian Philemon to
release his Christian slave from his service to "do
what is proper". In addition, numerous verses
from the New Testament show that God values
slaves as much as any free person and is not
partial to anyone's standing before other people.

As curled from king James version of the Bible;

Leviticus 25:44-46 - Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, [shall be] of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.......

Exodus 21:20-21 - And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished......

Exodus 21:16 - And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death...

Ephesians 6:5 - Servants, be obedient to them that are [your] masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;

Colossians 4:1 - Masters, give unto [your] servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.....

1 Peter 2:18 - Servants, [be] subject to [your] masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.

Titus 2:9-10 - [Exhort] servants to be obedient unto their own masters, [and] to please [them] well in all [things]; not answering again....

The above is one the hundreds of the Bible references that support slavery directly or indirectly. In the book of exodus chapter 21 verses 1 to the end, there are laws for acquisition of slaves.
First, we must recognize that the Bible does not
say God supports slavery. In fact, the slavery
described in the Old Testament was quite
different from the kind of slavery we think of
today - in which people are captured and sold as
slaves. According to Old Testament law, anyone
caught selling another person into slavery was to
be executed:
"He who kidnaps a man, whether he sells
him or he is found in his possession, shall
surely be put to death." ( Exodus 21:16)
So, obviously, slavery during Old Testament
times was not what we commonly recognize as
slavery, such as that practiced in the 17th century
Americas, when Africans were captured and
forcibly brought to work on plantations. Unlike
our modern government welfare programs, there
was no safety-net for ancient Middle Easterners
who could not provide a living for themselves. In
ancient Israel, people who could not provide for
themselves or their families sold them into
slavery so they would not die of starvation or
exposure. In this way, a person would receive
food and housing in exchange for labor.
So, although there are rules
about slavery in the Bible, those
rules exist to protect the slave.
Injuring or killing slaves was
punishable - up to death of the
offending party.1 Hebrews were
commanded not to make their
slave work on the Sabbath,2
slander a slave,3 have sex with
another man's slave,4 or return an escaped
slave.5 A Hebrew was not to enslave his fellow
countryman, even if he owed him money, but was
to have him work as a hired worker, and he was
to be released in 7 years or in the year of jubilee
(which occurred every 50 years), whichever came
first.6 In fact, the slave owner was encouraged to
"pamper his slave".7
What the New Testament says about slavery
Since many of the early Christians were slaves to
Romans,8 they were encouraged to become free if
possible, but not worry about it if not possible.9
The Roman empire practiced involuntary slavery,
so rules were established for Christians who were
subject to this slavery or held slaves prior to
becoming Christians. The rules established for
slaves were similar to those established for other
Christians with regard to being subject to
governing authorities.10 Slaves were told to be
obedient to their master and serve them
sincerely, as if serving the Lord Himself.11 Paul
instructed slaves to serve with honor, so that
Christianity would not be looked down upon.12
As with slaves, instructions were given to their
masters as to how they were to treat their slaves.
For example, they were not to be threatened,13
but treated with justice and fairness.14 The text
goes on to explain that this was to be done
because God is the Master of all people, and
does not show partiality on the basis of social
status or position.13, 14
There is an interesting letter in the New Testament
(Philemon15-21) that gives some insight into the
problems encountered in the early Christian
church regarding the issue of slavery. Paul, the
author of the letter, is writing from a Roman
prison awaiting trial.15 He is writing to Philemon,
who runs a local Christian church out of his
house16 (since Christianity was highly
persecuted at this point in time). Philemon, we
find out, is the master of the slave Onesimus,
who has escaped but has been converted to
Christianity by Paul.18 In the letter, Paul
indicates that he is sending Onesimus back to
Philemon.19 However, Paul says that he has
confidence that Philemon will "do what is
proper"17 although Paul wants him to do it by
his "own free will".20 Even so, Paul indicates that
Onesimus would be a great aid in helping him
spread the gospel.19 Paul ends the letter by
saying that he has "confidence in your
obedience" and indicates that he knows Philemon
"will do even more than what I say."21 Although
Paul did not directly order Philemon to release
Onesimus from slavery, it would have been
difficult to come away with any other conclusion
from his letter.

I believed that there is a super natural being who is perfect, sin free, who doesn't kill or lie. I believe in all perfect creator and the all in all. The almighty Creator I believe in is not the wicked one who established religion to torment. He shouldn't be the one that would enslave, kill, lie and roast people in fire. My Almighty Creator should be more merciful than my parents. I know my parents cannot throw me inside fire just for lying. How much more the most merciful.......
Bro the truth is that human beings are gullible we are easily decieved .most people allow others to read and interpret the bible for them instead of reading it for themselves.
the christain bible have and religeon have been misinterpreted and abused by those who want to take adavantage of others for their selfish gains. Would God punish the wicked yes. becos God is merciful to forgive but not weak to pass justice. God is a God of justice.

example if a man killed 20people with remorse and repentance. what do you expect God to do. give him a medel?
even human government which is imperfect will punish that man. that is justice how much more God.
But as i said before the bible have been misinterpreted. Hell fire is not for erternity. pls click here and read it. or copy and search.

remember psalms 136 says the mercy of God endures forever.
psalm 103:9 King James Bible
He will not always chide: neither will he keep
his anger for ever.
so if God will not hold his anger forever which means hell cannot be forever . and if his mercy is forever than Hell should not be for eternity . just search that site i gave u and read
