So you are ok with it now?
STOP trying to put words in my mouth gooster. I didn't say I was ok with it. I said if it is ok for you to do then it is ok for me to do also. GET IT?? 🙂

Good, we are aligned.
I’m pleased you have modified your somewhat silly pose.

You've said previously that a child from your church could answer my questions, and yet struggle to do so yourself.

How odd.
I've answered you many times. It is you that can't understand what the scriptures I've quoted to you explain. Perhaps you should not "lean on your own understanding" as the Bible says and pray to Jehovah for assistance.....
So as long as you keep asking a question that you don't understand, you must not be asking for Jehovah to help you? Give it a try....

I think you have your intellectual underpants at your ankles over this Galveston75.

But after commanding “thou shalt not kill” didn’t God send the Israelites into war on several occasions?

Your logic doesn’t stand up to scrutiny.

It must have been catching and I probably caught it from all the gibberish you are spewing. 🙂 😛

Correct me if I am wrong but are the Israelites still not fighting?

No he isn't, I don't stay fixed to just this forum. And the last thing that I would do is ignore DG's attempt to ensnare me having spotted it as soon as he pressed "send".

@divegeester

It stacks up fine thanks.

The theme of not taking life is consistent through the old testament and on into the new testament where Jesus instructs to love one another.

It is also true that the Israelite were instructed to wage war or defend themselves. However, we (Christians) are not in that situation.

If you want to pick one out I[m happy to discuss, but please understand that I don't just sit on this forum so you might have to wait.

They are, but what is going on right now isn't quite the same as time of the Jewish King.

No God told the Israelites to go in and take the land while putting to death every man woman child and animal. This was long after the Ten Commandments were given.

So your idea that Christians are not to go to war because of the commandment “thou shalt not kill” doesn’t add up.
