6. You shall not kill.

This forbids willful murder or the unlawful taking of life. Jesus said that if you merely call your brother a fool, you are in danger of judgment, and the Bible says if you’ve ever hated anyone, you are a murderer in God’s eyes. God does not simply judge actions. He knows the intentions of the heart. He sees your thought life. Every improper thought or deed done in secret is seen and recorded and will be used as evidence against you.



Do as I say, not as I do. (How many people has your God killed? Is it a billion, a trillion, ....?)

This command prohibited polytheism that characterized all the religions of the ancient Near East. Israel was not to worship or call on any of the gods of other nations, but was commanded to fear the one and only true God and serve him alone. We are to love him with all of our heart, mind, soul, and strength to much that our love for our parents, kids, friends, even our own lives should seem like hatred by comparison.



And this is the exact issue that most modern Christians by neccessity ignore - the judeo-christian god is a local deity. He is the god of Israel just as Zeus was the god of Greece, Amun was the god of Egypt, Odin was the god of the Norse etc.

The being depicted in the OT was never intended to be the ruler of the entire universe, he is just the protector of one insignificant people sandwiched between the three great powers of the first thousand years BC. No different to any other local, limited figment of primitive imaginations.

According to Remsburg, "Enough of the writings of the authors named in the foregoing list remains to form a library. Yet in this mass of literature there is to be found no mention of Jesus Christ." nor do any of these authors make note of the Disciples or Apostles.



I'm afraid Remsburg is wrong (if only because he is speaking in absolutes). As well as Paj's example Tacitus makes fleeting mention of a "Christus" in his Annals, (yes, thats a double 'n' so no sniggering:P) written around 100-110 AD.

None without cause. There is no one righteous. No one who seeks God. Do you think you're innocent? Have you kept the Commandments listed above? Where will you be going when you die? Heaven or hell?

Wouldn't that have been about a century before Jesus was born? Pretty hard to believe Tacitus was referring to Jesus.

Lol, apologies! Most of my course deals in BC so I get into the habit of using it on everything:$ Of course I meant AD.

I'm sitting on an airplane. A flight attendant comes by and spills coffee in my lap. I felt as if this incident ruined my entire flight because it was very painful. Therefore, because something bad happened to me on the flight, I no longer believe in a pilot who's flying the airplane.

Seriously... I don't in any way mean to minimize your loss and I am truly sorry. We live in a fallen world and bad things happen to people. While I do not believe God causes all bad things to happen, I do believe he can and sometimes does use them for his purpose. We may not can see how at the time or may never see it but the bad event or even your struggle through it may have a profound impact on the people around you.

Quote

"And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose," (Rom. 8:28).



The problem is, we most often want things to work out for "our own purpose." It's in our nature. God may be using your experience to break you down and get your attention so he can build you back up. In order to break down the wall between you and him (e.g. trying to save you from yourself and judgment).

Simple platitude. Everyone wants to big up their contender. What did the OT god ever do (on record) for non Jews? Did he speak to them through prophets? Did he give them advice? Did he create helpful miracles for them? Why did those who had no contact with the Jews not have a clue who he was?

I have counted the number of people that were killed by God in the Bible. The figure I came up with is approx 2,270,365, which, of course, greatly underestimates God's total death toll, since it only includes those killings for which specific numbers are given. No attempt was made to include the victims of Noah's flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, or the many plagues, famines, fiery serpents, etc., with which the good book is filled. Still, 2 million is a respectable number even for world class killers., and if god were a Californian Im sure he would be penning letters on death row.

Interestingly how does this compare with Satan? How many did he kill in the Bible?
Well I can only find ten, and even these he shares with God, since God allowed him to do it as a part of a bet. I'm talking about the seven sons and three daughters of Job

It's called righteous indignation. Certainly NOT without cause. Your conscience should attest to that.

The deaths of all mentioned is the same death you deserve for your lawlessness and rebellion. What will you do?

righteous indignation



LOL you crack me up dude, how can you just simply say that the millions of deaths attributed your God are righteous indignation, why didn’t OJ use that excuse?
Your God is a mass murderer you can make all the excuses you want but the fact is if God was in a court of law he would be going down..

So explain how the Midianite massacre Num.31:1-35, BT 90,000+ killed is righteous indignation???

And why are there not more deaths attributed to the apparently “evil” Satan… 10 is a pretty poor effort, for someone who is “pure evil”……

Come on Paj come back to the real world, its not that scary.....

Terah's lifespan.
According to Gen 11:26, Terah was 70 when Abraham was born and Abraham was 75 when he left Haran. Therefore he lived 70 years (ie. his age when Abraham was born) plus 75 years (the age of Abraham when he left Haran - as stated in Gen 12:4). He did not live beyond this as Acts 7:4 states Terah was dead when Abraham left Haran. So 70 + 75 = 145 years in total. However, Gen 11:32 states he lived 205 years.

Jesus was physically descended from David - Romans 1:1- 3.
The genealogies in Matt 1:1-16 and Luke 3:23-38 both attempt to link Jesus with Joseph to give Jesus a place in the Davidic line (which was necessary for messiahship). However, if virgin born, Joseph would have had nothing to do with the conception and any physical/human descent would be through Mary: Jesus' only contact with humanity if virgin born. However, Luke 1:36 says Mary was related to Elizabeth who was of the Aaronic line (Luke 1:5), not the Davidic line. Therefore, if virgin born, Jesus did not have Davidic descent (a prerequisite for messiah- ship).

Salvation available to those who want it - Matt 7:7,8, 11:28, John 3:16, 5:40, 7:37, Acts 2:21, Rev 3:20

Death demanded for heresy - Deuteronomy 13:1,2,5,14,15.
God says that if a man strikes 'his slave', male or female, and they do not die immediately, the man shall not be punished because 'the slave is his money (ie. property)' - Exodus 21:20-21.
God orders people to slaughter their own relatives because they rejected Moses' religion; 3000 killed. Moses tells the killers that God would bless them for doing this by making them ordained for his service - Exodus 32:27-29.
A person to kill their own family for a difference of religion - Deuteronomy 13:6-10.
God demands death for anyone not circumcised - Genesis 17:9-14.
God demands the sick are to be driven out of the community - Numbers 5:1-4.
God burns people to death for complaining - Numbers 11:1.
God kills 24,000 people by a plague because one of them brought a Midianite woman to his tent - Numbers 25:6-9.
The curses of God upon the Hebrews (e.g. eating their own children) - Leviticus 26:14-39, Deuteronomy 28:15-68.
God arranges the Midianite slaughter - Judges 7:2,9,22.
(Note: Numbers 31:1-18 states that God instructed the mass slaughter of Midianites, and the Lord "slew every male", alongwith their rulers (31:7), and the Midianite women and children and animals were captured; Moses (God's mouthpiece - Numbers 12:6-8), then demands all the males, including babies and the women were to be slaughtered, but the young girls could be "kept alive for yourselves" (31:18). This story records the extermination of the Midianites, but later on, God AGAIN instructs the slaugher of the Midianites (Judges 6:16), It is the same with the Amalekites - they are "ALL destroyed" in 1 Samuel 15:8, but they are destroyed yet again in 1 Samuel 27:8-9 and everyone - men and women - are killed; however, they are killed (- for the 3rd time) in 1 Samuel 30:1,16-17 except for 400 young men. At long last, they are are finally killed off in 1 Chronicles 4:43 when the 'remnant' were destroyed.
The Spirit of God comes upon Samson and he murders over a thousand people - Judges 14:19, 15:14-15.
The Psalmist praises God for his 'steadfast love' but then details his slaughtering in the past - Psalm 136:10-21.
God deliberately deludes people so they will not be saved - 2 Thess 2:11-12.
A girl not found to be a virgin was to be killed - Deuteronomy 22:13- 21 (Note the same did not apply to men).
God kills a baby for its father's wrongdoing - ignoring the father's pleas - 2 Samuel 12:15-20.
God kills 70,000 men - 2 Samuel 24:15.
was only God's mouthpiece (Numbers 12:6-8).
God has a friendly meeting with his arch enemy Satan - whom he doesn't even recognise - Job 1:6-7, and they have a wager (Job 1:8-12) over how much suffering it would take before righteous Job will reject God. Job then has his whole family killed and livelihood ruined (1:13-19) and then is afflicted by a loathsome plague (2:7-8).

righteous indignation



LOL you crack me up dude, how can you just simply say that the millions of deaths attributed your God are righteous indignation, why didn’t OJ use that excuse?
Your God is a mass murderer you can make all the excuses you want but the fact is if God was in a court of law he would be going down..

So explain how the Midianite massacre Num.31:1-35, BT 90,000+ killed is righteous indignation???

And why are there not more deaths attributed to the apparently “evil” Satan… 10 is a pretty poor effort, for someone who is “pure evil”……

Come on Paj come back to the real world, its not that scary.....



God's not on trial. You are. Are you guilty?
