A poster brought up this shocking passage about Blessed are the ones dashing Babylonian children against a rock. Gruesome !
Its a challenge. Let's look at the whole Psalm.
"By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down; indeed, we wept when we remembered Zion.
On the willows in the midst of it we hung up our lyres,
For there our captors required of us songs, And those who tormented us required of us mirth, saying, Sing for us one of the songs of Zion.
How can we sing the song of Jehovah in a foreign land?
If I forget you, O Jerusalem, Let my right hand forget its skill.
Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth.
If I do not remember you,
If I do not remember Jerusalem above my chief joy.
Remember, O Jehovah, Against the children of Edom,
The day of Jerusalem, Who said, lay it bare,
Down to its foundation!
O daughter of Babylon, who are to be devastated,
Happy will be he who repays you the recompense of what you have rendered to us.
Happy will be he who seizes your little ones and dashes them against the rock." (Psalm 137)

@sonship saidMy initial comments are that you proceed with your own thoughts and not a series of cut and pastes.

that's worse than the Jesus tattoo
@sonship saidI don't see much of a problem. It was the typical War-God / tough-talk of that time.

It's kind of like how people nowadays say "fvck" a lot.
@sonship saidIt’s also prophetic in nature sure!

@sonship removed their quoted postThat you regard a post as trash, asking you to share your own thoughts on the topic, and not simply to paste in the thoughts of someone else, speaks volumes.
