They went against his law(that's what his covenant was) and I think I know of what verse you're talking about and(if I'm not mistaken) is talking of God's love and how it doesn't dwell on the bad people do.
God told Israel if they broke his covenant bad things would happen, and he said good things would happen if they obeyed it, but they chose to disobey.
alright what was the disobedient act done..can you elaborate?
Yes we did, but you're not saying, "I believe God's a hypocrite or I belive God's inhumane."(which would imply it's your opinion), instead you're saying things about him as if they're facts and not your own opinon
when jesus says this:
luke 6:27 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
contradicts this
numbers 31:131 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Take vengeance on the Midianites for the Israelites.
it's not the same god. not by a long shot.
Not really(remember nobody is inoccent), we as human beings have no right to go out, kill children, and then say God told us too(especially when nowhere does he tell us to do that in his word)
but the virgin girls .... they were spared for what purpose?
God had every right to kill those Midianite boys. You can say you don't believe he was justified(because it seems inhumane and horrific to you) but he did. Since we're sinners he has a right to kill every one of us.
not when you take luke 6:27 into consideration...then he's a hypocrite
(you do realize that i don't really think he is a hypocrite, it's just these inconsistent unverifiable attributes present a dilemma....for me)
Yes of course, but there's no reason to word your posts in such a way to sound like facts about God, if they're just your own opinion
Yes God knew Israel would break his covenant, but that doesn't mean he's inconsistent. He gave us the 2nd covenant because he's merciful. He was giving us another chance
it's there and that is how i see it.
you can't tell me the it's blue when i see green.
another reason why this idea of god is fallible...all the disclaimers ... 'it didn't work that way then...but it works like that now'
i don't get that line of thinking. it isn't consistent.
Everyone was wicked(except Noah and his family) so God saved Noah. He didn't want to save everyone else because their hearts were" only evil all the time"
Obviously God knew their thoughts weren't going to change, and I don't see how sacrifing himself woudl have done anything for the people.
another disclaimer....
are you going to tell me that the tower of babel was about god feeling threatened?
gen 11:6 The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.
if anything they would have suffered altitude sickness...but of course god knew that, didn't he?
