Moral Genocide

16 However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. 17 Completely destroy[a] them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the Lord your God has commanded you. 18 Otherwise, they will teach you to follow all the detestable things they do in worshiping their gods, and you will sin against the Lord your God.

Christians believe that this genocide was moral. To refuse to kill everything that lives is immoral.

Anyone who claims to be a Christian disagree?

Its possibly the most difficult thing I have to accept as a Christian. One can of course justify it but its never very convincing. Ones humanity leaps out in protestation.

Acceptance of immorality is a cancer.

Everything is not gone. Israel remained.

You want to apply human standards of morality on God and His orders? If we were to take
a stance to kill others upon ourselves, we could and should apply our standards of morals
to judge ourselves with. God however, since He gave everyone life without exception,
since He gave us this planet to live on, since He gives us each breath in our lungs, since
He holds the universe together by the power of His Word, who among us can justly hold
him accountable for anything, it is all His kingdom, we are in it by His will not our own.

Of course you don't; your right-wing, selfish, bigoted, religious fundamentalist mindset will revel in scriptures like this.

My position is that God decides what is moral and immoral.

I am surprised that you would take a different position.

It is because I love God and you hate God.

I think you are a bit of a simpleton to be honest.

What position do you think I'm taking? God is God, we are not! He sets the times for all
things in this life, the seasons of the earth, when the rain falls, the motion of the moon, and
forms us in our mother's wombs. So how is it that we can judge Him? All of creation is His
to do with as He wills, He gives life, He takes it away, He sets up kingdoms, He brings them
down, He gives and takes away. Who are we?

Of course you do. It is a natural reaction for you when you see someone who believes the Bible.

That it is really immoral, but the created aren't allowed to say it out loud.

It is immoral for God to be God and do as He wills with what it is His? He owe you
something that God must comply with?
