If Stratos was honest he would have included Gandalf on the list, who agreed that it was a merciful act for God to bring the innocents unto Himself.
And as Stratos said, this is a gross misrepresentation of my position.
The point is not what this episode did to the innocent children, it is what it did to the people "ordered" to carry it out. This is a most relevant point - because the whole purpose of the exercise was to cleanse the land of God-less people and their God-less practices in order to create an upright, God-fearing nation. The paradox here should be obvious - ordering the people of God to hack babies to death in order to bring them closer to God.
Oh People of Israel - hack those babies to death in front of their screaming mothers so that you may become upstanding people of Godmake sense to you?
Whats particularly hillarious is when people like you use the child sacrifice argument: "oh we had to save the children from pagan sacrifice... by slaughtering them"
You certainly aren't quoting me. The argument is about saving the children from
growing up in understanding and thus accountability, while being indoctrinated into engaging in the sacrifice of children themselves, thereby being separated from God forever. From suffering God's judgment because of that, as well as the other sins and abominations of the Canaanites.
I thought you agreed that it would be a merciful act by God to bring those innocents unto Himself, before they grew up enough to become accountable for sin, while simultaneously being indoctrinated into engaging in sodomy, ritualistic prostitution, bestiality, and sacrifice of children to idols, thus separating themselves from God forever.
Sorry Gand, my mistake in thinking you had earlier expressed, that you also believed it would be merciful for God to bring them to Himself instead.
Let alone that if rituals like the Islamic practice of "thighing" infants was popular among the Canaanites, along with the rest of their sexual immorality, even their infants could have even been rife with disease - not the least of which could have been leprosy (those infected can be without symptoms for 5-20 years).
http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1390658615Gand, your reply here illustrates a focus on the flesh and the things of this world, rather than on the things of the Spirit, and the eternity that follows our temporal life. Your concern seems to be about what people witnessed in a moment of history, rather than on the innocent's wonderful lives with the Lord, to this day. Regarding Yahweh's people, they trusted in God, just as His people do to this day and just as Abraham did when Yahweh tested him by seeing if he was obedient and faithful enough to be willing to sacrifice Isaac, for example.
http://www.brotherpete.com/children_flesh.htmYou also can't seem to understand, the argument you attempted to lodge here, in the context of Muhammad beheading the innocent young boys of the Banu Qurayza. You see, the risk in seeking comfort and support in Godless people like Stratos, is that you increasingly become of them. An understanding based solely on the flesh and this world.
http://www.falseprophetmuhammad.com/jesus_or_muhammad.htm#banu_qurayzaGod did not want His people to become poisoned by the Canaanites either physically or spiritually. So Yahweh had His people kill Satan's people, so Yahweh's people wouldn't become of them.
We find the exact inverse in Muhammad and his follower's slaughter of the Medina Jews. That is, Satan's people slaughtering Yahweh's literate, faithful, peaceful, productive, prosperous people - who never struck a blow - and raping their women and little girls and stealing the fruit of their labor of generations.
All in an effort toward subjugating them to prostrating toward the Quraish pagan's black stone idol in Mecca five times a day while praying "in the vain repetitions as the heathen do". Even to engage in adopted, adapted and thinly veneered pagan Arabian moon, sun, star and jinn-devil worship rituals.
http://www.brotherpete.com/hajj_umrah.htmAll of the sins of the Canaanites are committed even today. Some might argue that children aren't sacrificed to idols, but is it really a stretch to suggest that Muhammad's anti-Gospel antichrist followers are sacrificing their children to the Quraish pagan's black stone idol, by indoctrinating them into Muhammad's anti-religion?
