urahara: Now pay close attention to the highlighted words. The OT could only commence when God had made a covenant/testament with the Israelites and the terms thereof was known: And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the Lord hath said will we do, and be obedient. 8 And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these words.[/b] Exodus 24:7,8 A picture of what happened here is given in Deuteronomy 27: 14,15: 14 And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice, 15 Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the Lord, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen. HAving thus subscibed willingly, it is therefore expected that God will warn that if this covenant be broken, there will be dire consequences! Now you may ask, what of those nations that God sent them to destroy? See below: Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: [b]but for the wickedness of these nations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Deuteronomy 9:5 Now the reasons are given hence God, the Judge of the Whole Earth, saw it fit to drive those nations out. Reason? Their cup was full. But they had no laws from God? Read through Genesis and see that even before the law, God revealed Himself to people generally. Some reverenced Him, others despised. For example, Job, Enoch etc were neither an Israelite nor a person under the law but his reverence to God was outstanding! They were faithful to the light they had. In the NT, we find God sending an Angel to Cornelius to lead him to the Gospel. etc Having said that, did God spare Israel when they did similar things? NO! In the same fashion, other nations eg Babylon, Assyria etc were sent to destroy them (the Israelites). Read through Judges to get a picture. 2 Chronicles 36:16-19 but they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people, till there was no remedy. 17 Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave them all into his hand. 18 And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all these he brought to Babylon. 19 And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof
Rather, it was a case of a Covenant, Justice and Retribution as already explained. If you call them barbaric, against what standard do you make that judgement? But the Jews were the offsprings of the people who made that covenant with God? And yes, there were people from other nations who joined themselves to God too. Sure HE is. Besides, you appear to downplay that it is this same God that delivered Israel from Egypt, sent Jonah to warn Nineveh and gladly forgave when Nineveh repented, that brought Nebuchadnezzar back to his senses and blessed him exceedingly even though he was a Babylonian king, that appeared to Abimelech to prevent him from sinning against Him, that commanded Israel to show love to the Egyptians after they were delivered(Deut 23:7) etc 1 Like 1 Share |

Scholar8200: STORY STORY STORY....................ALL CONJECTURE. YOUR OWN PERSONAL THINKING. NOT A UNIVERSALITY IN CHRISTIANITY. IF YOU SAY THE OLD TESTAMENT COULD ONLY COMMENCE WHEN GOD MADE A CONVENANT WITH THE ISRAELITES. But the book starts with Genesis which mentioned not the ISRAELITE but containing a key foundation of Christianity which is the ORIGINAL SIN. Without the original sin there is no need of Jesus dying on the cross. NOT AT ALL. ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY WE SHOULD RIP OFF GENESIS AND EVERY OTHER PART WHICH RECORDED EVENTS EVEN BEFORE THE ISRAELITES WERE BEING MENTIONED IN THE OLD TESTAMENT? No one on planet earth can ever disprove the fact that Christianity is a CONTRADICTORY SYSTEM . it is a running around the circle in the most ILLOGICAL manner full of conjectures and confussions. ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY THE WHOLE OF THE BIBLE IS NOT THE WORD OF GOD? 3 Likes 2 Shares |

WORDWORLD:personal thinking while the records are there for all to see? This is why you need to humble yourself and not act authoritative! That the book starts with Genesis does not mean the Old Covenant started in the beginning! What we have in Genesis is God's promise to Abraham which is the basis of both Old and New Testaments! People call the Pentateuch the Law because Moses authored it but Genesis and early parts of Exodus were more of an Inspired study in History. wish you started your reply with this paragraph. Well, hold tight to your opinion; its your right after all. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

@ Scholar8200 You WISH i started with the last paragraph DID NOT ANSWER the question being asked in that last paragraph. PLEASE!!! YOU'VE BEEN GOING ROUND AND ROUND LIKE MARY GO ROUND THOUGH THAT IS WHAT IS EXPECTED OF YOU ANYWAY. ITS CHRISTIANITY. The question again is, IS THE WHOLE of the Bible God's Word. Because it anwsers JUST every of DILEMMA raised by the OP. A muslim will tell you straight up. THE WHOLE OF THE QURAN IS ALLAH'S WORDS AND THERE IS NO ARGUEMENT ABOUT THAT AMONG ALL THE UUNFORTUNATE SECTS TODAY. As for the question IS THE WHOLE OF THE BIBLE GOD'S WORDS being asked in the last paragraph shouldnt determine what the correct answer should be. SHOULD IT? YOU HAVE ALL THE LIBERTY OF MAKING IT THE FIRST TO BE ANSWERED BY YOU IF IT REALLY MATTERED. YET YOU LEFT A RESPONSE VAGUE, AN INCOMPLETE THOUGHT .........................UNANSWERED EXCEPT BLOWING ME A "I WISH". Neither should it be about OPINION but what is TRUE. 2 Likes |

Annunaki: @ Annunaki, how can you be a Christian without understanding or believing the doctrine of the Trinity? From my perspective, the two things I observed about Muslims' differences with Christian are: 1. they don't believe in the Trinity and 2. they don't believe in the Sonship of Christ in respect to God. From the above, I perceive you don't believe in the first (Trinity) which is part of the Christian doctrines. My question is.....on whose side are you? 4 Likes 1 Share |
