God defends his people, in this case the Israelites.

In addition to Occ's post (Jesus Occ, lay down the hammer will ya?), one quick question I have:

How can the Amalekites be destroyed 3 times in Samuel? Isin't 1 time enough to wipe out a civilization?

Maybe they missed a few woman and children the first 2 times?

Originally posted by occrider Hmmmm ok I see, so when God says thou shall not kill, he's only referring to the people that are innocent? So in every instance of the bible where God says to kill, that person is automattically one that he's judged and deemed worthy of elimination? I can see how events such as the inquisition and the crusades came to be:

An eye for an eye, Occ.

I mean, turn the other cheek, Occ.

I mean, fit a camel through the eye of a needle, Occ.

I mean, shit, uhhh...

"The Inquisition (Let's begin)
The Inquisition (Look out sin)
We have a mission to convert the Jews (Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew)
We're gonna teach them wrong from right.
We're gonna help them see the light
and make an offer that they can't refuse. (That those Jews just can't refuse)
Confess, don't be boring.
Say yes, don't be dull.
A fact you're ignoring:
It's better to lose your skull cap than your skull (or your govalt!)
The Inquisition (what a show)
The Inquistion (here we go)
We know you're wishin' that we'd go away.
But the Inquisition's here and it's here to stay!

"I was sitting in a temple. I was minding my own business.
I was listening to a lovely Hebrew mass.
Then these Papus persons plungered and they throw me in a dungeon and they shove a red hot poker up my ass.
Is that considerate? Is that polite?
And not a tube of Preperation H in sight!"

"I'm sittin' flickin' chickens and I'm lookin' throught the pickins' and suddenly thes goyim pull down valls.
I didn't even know them and they grabbed my by the stoghum and started playing ping pong with my balls!
Ooh, the agony! Ooh, the shame!
To make my privates public for a game?"

The Inquisition (what a show)
The Inquisition (here we go)
We know you're wishin' that we'd go away.
But the Inquisition's here and it's here to-
"Hey Toquemada, walk this way."
"I just got back from the Auto-de-fe."
"Auto-de-fe? What's an Auto-de-fe?"
"It's what you oughtn't to do but you do anyway."
Will you convert? "No, no, no, no."
Will you confess? "No, no, no, no."
Will you revert? "No, no, no, no."
Will you say yes? "No, no, no, no!"
Now I asked in a nice way, I said, "Pretty please."
I bent their ears, now I'll work on their knees!
"Hey Toquemada, walk this way. We got a little game that you might wanna play, so pull that handle, try you're luck."
"Who knows, Toq, you might win a buck!"

"How we doin', any converts today?"
"Not a one, nay, nay, nay."
"We flattened their fingers, we branded their buns!
Nothing is working! Send in the nuns!"

The Inquisition, what a show.
The Inquisition, here we go.
We know you're wishin' that we'd go away!
So all you Muslims and you Jews
We got big news for all of yous:
You'd better change your point of views TODAY!
'Cause the Inquisition's here and it's here to stay!"

Ooooo, I had a thought driving to work this morning. Here's a question I'd like to pose to anyone:

If we accept that God created everything, then that would entail that He created the physical laws that are repeatible and observable and help define our natural world.

Why would He want to have something created that defies such laws, and ask us to accept it's existence? IOW, why would God want us to accept the illogical?

Duh, it's a test of faith. The more of the improbable you belief in, the more holy you are cuz you aren't tempted by no stinkin science!

Indeed. Occrider is correct. God is testing you.

Originally posted by priveye03 make up your mind, those people didn't accept Jesus and therfore are going to hell. But here you mean that they have a chance of getting in even though they haven't accepted Jesus.

It's a different situation, I figured you all would understand that. I hope atleast some people understood.

Originally posted by priveye03 So let me get this straight, God and Jesus are perfect correct? But they can basically do/command people to do things that get them a quick ticket to the eternal flames of hell. So I guess being a hypocrite makes you perfect. Well then slap me silly and call me Jesus...

No,you have it all wrong. God and Jesus are perfect,You have freewill to follow him or not. That's your choice, Jesus died so you didn't have to go to hell. He can't help it if you choose death.

The word hypocrite doesn't fit here, how is being a Christian being a hypocrite? It's not. That's the point.
