Well if you insist, Jesus would kill people who offend "little ones" or children. Luke chapter 17:2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones
Do you imagine that every kid that ever happened upon jesus was from a family or life situation that jesus would have approved of? Which book sees jesus actively hunting down those who offend little ones? And, not to leap back into the OT but I wonder what those kids who became she bear dinner would think about that.. You DO beleive the god of the ot and jesus are one and the same, after all. hell, i'd say the first born of egypt might have a bone to pick with that lack of consistency too. Kids of Canaan? Hell, ANY kid who found themselves facing jews in the OT for that matter.
Sometimes innocent people die. God saves those kids into eternal life in my belief. There is more to it than this life alone. There is much we don't see or understand but innocent people who die do not die in vain. I believe in many cases such as the firstborn of Egypt, it wasn't meant to punish the children but the parents. If God destroyed a city or put a plague on someone, I bet he had a reason for it.
You believe you had a vision or spiritual experience of the Holy Spirit and Satan. I accept that as your belief. What do you think of the visions that Native Americans have? Are they authentic? Are only Bible inspired visions genuine?
What about psychotics who kill and they claim that Jesus or God commanded them to do so? How would a lay person be able to tell the difference between psychotic features with religious expression and genuine spiritual experiences?
Do you continue to see demons? Where do you see them? What do they look like?
But personal interpretations do differ!

It's awfully easy to say that sometimes innocent people die when you are not the dying innocent. You think that message would have sold on 9/12/01? It's awfully fun to ponder hypotheticals when other people are the ones paying the price. It's an integral flaw of the jewish mythology associated with the bible; the first lesson being Canaan. Why the hell should goyim be interested in a god whose sole concern is jews and only jews? Hell, it wasn't until jesus could be canonized that dirty goyim fell into the picture! Not to mention, that they give christianity the same regard that christians give MORMONISM. Again, it's easy to get all philosophical about OT death and the monster, cthulu-like god that is represented. But, it's another thing entirely to gel that with the compassion and "turn the other cheak"iness that is supposed to be the example of jebus in the NT. On numerous times he could have "defended" himself and his people but, instead, chose to live by example. Which, brings me back to point: Are you going to start telling people that you are sure god had a good reason to kill the kids from 9/11? Why is it that your answer changes accoridng to perspective?

However, to make a personal interpretation, you need to know the context of the passage, the times, and you need to have some knowledge of the original language in which it was written. For the unknowledgeable to think they can "interpret" a passage of bible accurately when they don't have any understanding of things like, say, robes, the geography and political climate of the time, the law, and customs of the people is ignorant. The bible isn't a Stephen King novel, and even laymen can't understand it without exhaustive research, and nobody can fully understand it without the spirit. Ultimately, there is only one interpretation, and it has nothing to do with anyone's personal "feelings" or their limited understanding of English.
I do understand the concept. But when we are typing so fast and just trying to get the point across. I don't see the need to capitalize the name. I think the purpose of capitalization in cannon is in order to differentiate between the name of JEHOVAH and pagan gods referred to in the Bible. I also know that they capitalize God simply because they want you to know they are speaking of JEHOVAH to avoid the too frequent use of his name out of respect. Because God is written in the scripture so often it would be awkward and disrespectful to always use JEHOVAH every time.
I do understand your point but I think you are being a little overzealous.
Learn Hebrew.
Study the OT with a Rabbi.
THEN you can understand the NT.

Of course my answer depends on perspective. Every perception depends on perspective. I come from the perspective of having one of my friends murdered and my Grandfather dying needlessly young. I eyewitness thousands of innocent kids massacred by AIDS in Swaziland. My perspective helps me form an opinion I can make sense out of. It makes sense to me because I am 100% percent sure what happens to us after we die.
Again God has given a lot of reasons why he does things and some reasons he hasn't given yet. But I trust he knows what he is doing.
