If you can't get it from the beginning how would you ever be able to understand what is in the middle?I'm not sure how that applies to my post. What exactly are you claiming was meant in Genesis and Exodus? If you are claiming that no one was killed at Sodom or Gomorrah, or that no children died in the tenth plague, then that is an extreme departure in interpretation.See the response to cernz.Genesis 19:24,25God doesn't kill babies that is merely your misinterpretation..Let's just put this to bed, once and for all. You can claim that Christianity is responsible for whatever you like, one glaring fact remains:
If you read the Bible, and believe it is true, then you know that you God kills babies.
Let us reiterate that: You worship a God who Kills. Babies.
Now, you can rationalise this any way you wish, but so long as you insist that the God of the New Testament is the same God, as the God of the Old Testament, then you worship a God who ordered genocide, and killed Babies. Period. Full stop.
So long as you worship a genocidal, baby killing God, and pretend that he isn't just that, and even call him a loving God, then you get to question the ethics, and morals of no one.
It's that simple.
24 Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven;
25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
Exodus 11:4-5
4 And Moses said, Thus saith the Lord, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt:
5 And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.
We'll start with those two. How am I misinterpreting those verses to think they mean that babies were murdered by the Lord?
Some religious people can't stand me as it doesn't fit into their own precepts. Especially the one's who have bashed Eve or the woman for so many years. That doesn't make them right just because it was passed from one to another to teach in error based on their carnal precepts.
