If the Bible is the Truth then one must concede also that God demanded the genocide of the Amalekites
'Now go and strike Amalek and utterly destroy all that he has, and do not spare him; but put to death both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.'"
What do you do with that Truth? Ignore it?
You people have invented God in your desired image, and then claimed it as the Truth.
> CORRECTION------------> It is was your own prophet who invented a god designed in his own desired image (with the influence of his wife Khadija) and this was done to justify playing God, justifying sexual sin, adultery (more than one wife) paedophile behavior, beating his wives, theft, looting, sex slavery, beheadings of 900 Jews in Medina, the killing of women and children, and more. Will you now accuse God in order to justify Mohammad for such sins?
If you knew the history of the Amalekites you would not be asking me such a question. Why do you think Saul lost everything for that one act of disobedience? (he didn't obey God 100% on that command) Did not David sin more than once yet still was never removed as King? There is a reason for it. Search the Scriptures.
Stick to the point. Your God commanded a genocide.
My God commanded a righteous judgment for a certain time and a certain place on a people that were under his judgment. Had Saul obeyed -the Israelis would have been spared alot of grief! But no! Saul decided to disobey God and not follow through!
I'll give you a comparison right now and show you how that works out, Nosmos. Look at Israel and the temple mount, the terrorist attacks inside Israel and against Israel! Do you know why that happened? Because a certain Israeli General of the IDF named General Uzi refused to obey God - who spoke through the mouth of a Rabbi named Rabbi Shomo Gorin and decided to go with a secular government and appease the Arab people! How did he do that? After the 6 day war the Israelis took the Temple Mount and the Arabs fled! The Jews were weeping their eyes out - ovewhelmed at the fulfillment of God's promise. What was God's promise?
I will put my Name there! 37 times in the Old Testament God repeatedly declares this promise and then? Suddenly the Temple Mount is theirs! So the Rabbi tells General Uzi - take this dynamite and blow up the Dome of the Rock and the Al asqa Mosque now! THIS IS THE MOMENT OF REDEMPTION!
What does General Uzi respond with? Do not say another word or I'll have to arrest you. In other words? We're not doing that - we're going to hand it back over to the Arabs! Oh my! What a mistake! What a TERRIBLE
God knew full well what Saul was going to do. Saul was punishment for the people demanding a king from Samuel. Islam might just be our Saul until we return to God.
You MUST be kidding me! That wasn't why Saul disobeyed. Did you not listen to a word I just wrote to you? Saul had a choice! And he blew it! The consequences were devastating. Gideon had to go up against those guys thanks to Saul! And the Israelis today? They have the "Palestinians" to deal with because one General - General Uzi thought he didn't need to listen to the Rabbi who told him to blow up the Dome of the Rock and the Al Asqa Mosque. Had he done it? Israel would not be fighting the Muslims in her own territory. Just think about that for a second.
Rabbi Shlomo was obeying the command God gave to the Israelites through Moses. General Uzi did not have the mind of God on the matter - imo.
Here is the Word of God on what should have been done once the Israelis took back the Temple Mount :
It is written:
And the LORD spoke unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying, Speak to the Children of Israel, and say unto them, When you are passed over the Jordan into the land of Canaan, Then shall you drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down
all their high places. And you shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therin. for I have given you the land to possess it.
And you shall divide the land by lot for inheritance among your families, and to the more you shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer you shall give the less inheritance,every man's inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falls.
But if you will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it shall come to pass, that those which you let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein you dwell.
Numbers 33: 50,51,52,53,54,55
And there's more!
Verse 56!
Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.

So when General Uzi didn't listen to the Rabbi and take the dynamite and blow up the dome of the rock and the al asqa mosque - when he did not do what the Word of God commanded the Israelis to do upon coming home - having this land returned to them and the Temple Mount?
The rest was history. The very history you see today. The Arabs in that land have been a thorn in their sides and pricks in their eyes. It has been non stop heartache. All because the General thought to appease the Arabs and not return to the real roots of Israel - a Jewish State - but rather a secular state and government and you can see what happens when we disobey God!!!
