Bible Battles

Well for me Jesus never picked up a sword and said kill thy enemy. So god willing thats the path I hope to follow. Its not an easy one to say love your enemies or forgive those around you who have hurt you, but it just might make peoples lives a little better if your spread peace instead of more violence and destruction is my thinking. I am a hot headed person and its hard to not just react instead of trying to be the voice of reason but I am trying.

War in the name of god, Whats wrong with that? How else are going to get people to die and be maimed for free. People are so stupid they usually deserve what they get.

It's a long time since I've read the Bible and an even longer time since I actually believed any of it but I remember the conflicting messages as far as love and aggression are concerned. Not surprising as it was written by a bunch of different people so they will all have had their own idea as to what makes a good story. People tend to latch onto the bits of the Bible that fit well with their own view of the world and unfortunately an alarming number seem to prefer the vengeful elements rather than the more constructive "peace and love" aspects.

We belie3ve that we can beleive the bible as far that is translted corretly! and poeple have fought people from the first of time but also the bible is just a history of man writting by MEN. Not any god that I can see! and they tell you that God is a loving God but then the bible thumpers teach hell and damnnation . I just cant getinto it for I just dont belevie all of it.

Thou shall not Kill is one of the commandments the Israelites received before entering Canaan. Later they were told to kill the inhabitants of Canaan to possess the land. There is a controdiction here. I think the commandment of Yahweh not to kill is a valid one. The fact that Israelites killed the Canaanites and attributed to Yahweh, the injunction to kill is also got written down.

The Bible should be rated X with the all of the content being murder, rape, incest, war, greed, conspiracy, and treachery of all types. Isn't it shocking that people teach that crap to their children and teach their children to teach that to their children? No wonder the human race hasn't evolved into more compassionate beings. We have high tech now with the same horrid behavior as 5000 years ago.

Yes war is insanity! And horrible.. hard to believe it even exists. One day man will look back and aghast at what humanity once was like. And all too often there are those who will abuse the people, even doing genocides, maimings and leaving mass graves about! The thing about the ancient history of the bible as viewed by modern man is they always forget to mention that the nations they went against were folks who were regularly practicing human and child sacrifice, and yes, I guess the deity wanted those people gone from the roots of the world, til the latter resurrection day, when all will be resurrected and participate in the long day of the examination of all things..

God promised to Abraham a land flowing with milk and honey and the Israelites became slaves in Egypt for 400 years. When God's time came, He led out His people the Israelites from Egypt into the promised land which were populated as God preferred to populate such land with people rather than beasts. God did not like His people to be mixed with the Gentiles and so He commanded the Israelites to kill all the inhabitants of such places including animals (the Israelites did not fully obey and so they encountered problems). God has plans and His command was not a mistake - that's what He wanted and He is God. That was in the Old Testament. In the New Testament, when the Israelites already received their respective inheritance through Joshua, God did no longer command the Israelites to kill. Even in the Old Testament, killing is forbidden, that is in the Ten Commandments. There's no problem if we understand the Holy Bible and to understand it, we have to study it very well.

Hey, I think the entire popultaion of evolved spirits are tryin this to explain this to the wrold. But, the only problem is these people are not ready to comphrehend things with open mind. We need to enroll them for an open mind converstion, but the problem is their mind is so tightly closed and hypnotised that its next to impossible.

Hey GreatWhiteBuffalo - I think I saw the same documentary. I truly believe that watching some of the programs on these learning channels is important so that maybe it can give some the ability to see the Bible in a more modern type of scenario. I read the Bible daily going from the New Testament back to the Old Testament and then vicey versie. I do enjoy the documentaries, but it does not change my mind at all about how I feel about the Greatest Story Ever Told. I still believe it, always will, and am extremely glad that I have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior. This comes from a man who was once a devout Conservative Jew. Oh by the way, I am not Greek, not Canaanite, not a Hebrew. I am certainly not a Jews for Jesus either. What I am according to my church is a Completed Jew. How do you like that one? Also, it is ashame that Muslims, Jews and Christians are all fighting one another when they do all come from the same father. Thanks for the discussion.

Not all who read the Bible comes in full understanding with it. It was a gift from God to whom He sent as a messenger,eg...apostles,preacher...etc..Bible is a book portrying the whole world...battle of good againts evil...man of God and Satan's cohorts...man who believes in God...man who hates God...war..love..hunger...abundance....and the whole pic of the world...No other book can compare to Bible. Archaelogy, history, science and many other field could attest to credibility of the Bible. The Bible have many predictions that had really happen that no other book in the world today have done better... You know that God's thinking is far more higher than ours, as of comparisson b/w heaven and earth as Bible says. Also as mentioned in the book of the Daniel 12:9-10,"And he said, Go thy way Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. ....and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand". As stated in the verse, the words (Bible) are closed up and sealed till the time of the end...the wise would gain understanding (at the time of the end; last days) that wicked shall not. To answer all your queries in detail regarding the Bible, pls. visit this website...www.truthcaster.com or www.theoldpath.tv....in this site they regarded this man as "the super preacher of all times". This man has been tested for a long time for answering all kinds of questions about mankind, spirituality, etc..w/ the Bible as the sole basis. He also answers the doubts of many regarding the contradictions they've notice in the Bible...DARE HIM! TEST HIM! DEBATE W/ HIM!!!!!! He might be "the wise that shall understand"....nothing to lose but rather gain...THANKS!

That would be a good idea. But it is too easy for most people. Take the Sermon on the Mount and let everything else go.
