How Do Christians Interprete This Yahweh Verses? by AntiChristian: 8:52am On Aug 20, 2021 |
This is how you are to treat all the cities that are far away from you and do not belong to the nations nearby. However, in the cities of the nations that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, you must not leave alive anything that breathes. For you must devote them to complete destruction — the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites— as the LORD your God has commanded you, so that they cannot teach you to do all the detestable things they do for their gods, and so cause you to sin against the LORD your God. When you lay siege to a city for an extended time while fighting against it to capture it, you must not destroy its trees by putting an axe to them, because you can eat their fruit. You must not cut them down. Are the trees of the field human, that you should besiege them? But you may destroy the trees that you know do not produce fruit. Use them to build siege works against the city that is waging war against you, until it falls. Deuteronomy 20:15-20 |

You are Muslim and that explains your myopic polarization. Christians teach love that is the fundamental of Christianity. But what does Islam have at it's core? You can say peace but there is no peace anywhere Islam touches ... Why is that? Also, when Yahweh said old things have passed away it meant something , a simple Google of that will enlighten you. I am a spiritualist ... all religions on the planet are just a well planned means of mind control... how will limited man fight for an almighty being if not for utter foolishness? 1 Like |

The author of this post is ignorant and has not made proper research into the book called the Bible . But let us clarify the doubt by saying the bible , is more than just a religious book : it is a historical document that recorded how God chose to direct a particular group of people in their way of life. Which is why you'll find warring principles, offerings , peace deals , worship and other societal ways of conduct inside the pages of the Bible |

That was to the Israelites thousands of years ago, when they were going to possess the lands GOD promised Abraham their father. A people whose prophets you claim today, and not for the Christians who believes on the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Understood? |

You can never find any group called Christians that will answer your question on this because they're not TRUE Christians! So they can't answer your question! But if you will not get angry at me i will tell you the PRACTICAL APPLICATION of this verses. I know that these are the verses radical islamists often read and inculcate in the minds of their adherents before recruiting them into terrorist groups! So will you like to know why Jehovah (Yahweh) gave the Israelites this order? ![]() |

Franzinni: I'm sorry the bolded is a misconception! It's Christ that taught LOVE but the first renoun group today claiming Christians never preached LOVE, in fact they're the teachers of Muhammad that taught him how to kill people for God! Please make a research for the history of the Catholic Church, how it began and how many lives this Church destroyed while taking their CROSS from City to City forcing people to accept Catholicism. This was the system Muhammad met, he never had the opportunity to meet with true Christians so he believed violence should be included in the propagation of pure worship through the activities of the one and only group claiming Christians in his own days! ![]() |
Re: How Do Christians Interprete This Yahweh Verses? by duro4chang(m): 9:40am On Aug 20, 2021 |
If you check the portion of the bible you quoted, it is from the old testament. This happened before Christ. When Jesus came, He abolished all things like these. He preached peace and love. He condemned killing. That portion can only be answered by the Jews not christians. We christians will never support destroying other people. It is against the teaching of Jesus Christ. |

AntiChristian: There ia no need for interpretation. It was war against demonic forces. stanic nations who wroship devils and praxtice . Gay ,lesbianism idolatory, incest and evwry abomination under heaven. They had to be cut off . your second quote explains it so that they cannot teach you to do all the detestable things they do for their gods, and so cause you to sin against the LORD your God. [/b] And if you think your post is indictiment against Christians . Not at all. Because Christianity hasnt started. Those nations had to be cut off to rid evil on earth . but in christianity we cadt the devils out of people |

AntiChristian:I'm doing this because you said "i would like to know" The one and only true God called Abraham out of Ur to establish pure worship on the earth, but before then what was happening around the world regarding WORSHIP? After Satan and his cohorts (rebellious angels) turned the earth into a place unbearable for peaceloving people God destroyed all living creatures on dry land. Satan and demons are not flesh so the waters that destroyed all living (fleshy) creatures on dry land had no negative effect on them. They tried to return to heaven (their former abode) but God didn't allow them to join His loyal spirit sons again {2Peter 2:4; Jude 1:6} that's how the ybecame fugitives throughout the earth and each of them began engaging themselves in other activities. Note that these creatures are very powerful and highly intelligent than humans so they decided to RULE over mankind. That's how false worship became rampant throughout the earth. The demons used humans as puppets to strive (fight) for terrorists so that each demon becomes the god those living in such territories will worship! Now let's go back to the issue of Abraham. When the true God called Abraham out the purpose was for Abraham and his lineage to serve as a means of liberating mankind and redeem them from the hands of Satan and his demons! Genesis 12:1-3 Ever since then Satan kept monitoring Abraham and his children, whenever God pass the heritage to any of Abraham's offsprings Satan keeps an eye on such person. From Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob with whom God established His covenant with his sons who are called Israelites! Jacob and his descendants would have been wiped out when Satan caused a great drought where Jacob lived but God outwitted Satan. One of Jacob's sons was sold into slavery, this child got ahead of God's people to prepare a place for them in Egypt where the lineage of salvation will be preserved alive! So after 400 years God sent Moses to go and bring out His people from Egypt where they've become slaves to their former accommodators. The true God wants His people to settle in a place where they will begin PRACTICING pure worship that's different from all the false religions on earth. That is what Satan and his demons doesn't want so it wasn't a struggle between humans but a battle between the true God and the fallen angels! The demons have occupied all the earth and established false religions everywhere but the true God who created all things only wanted a small portion on this planet for a people who will serve as an example for others to know the difference between true and false worship. Back then all the nations of the earth believes that whenever a nation is strong in battle it means the God behind such a nation is stronger! So when they now heard of a nation (Israelites) whose God went down to Egypt with an octogenarian like Moses to free His people without a military force. All the nations on the earth became scared of the Israelites! Joshua 2:9-13 ![]() The lady speaking in that Bible verse was a prostitute in Jericho. She acknowledged that the portions of land where the Israelites target must have been given to them by the one and only true God so Rahab chose to support God's people, and she was rewarded greatly because her name has been written in the book of Life! Matthew 1:5; Hebrews 11:30-31 But the demons kept hardening the hearts of their worshipers because they knew what was involved. Of course they had nothing to loose after all it's humans killing humans and all of them are the properties of the true God. So they're less concerned about the lives lost in the struggle. They just don't want pure worship to be established at all. Even after the Israelites have settled in the small portion the true God promised their forefathers Satan realized that if this people are left unattended to God's plan to use them as a means of salvation will surely come to pass. So Satan and his demons began introducing false religion to contaminate their worship. Today the name of that true God has gone viral so God is no longer interested in any geographical location on this planet again {John 4:20-24} since people throughout the earth now have access to His messages. It's now left for each individual to choose whether he will worship the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob or not! That's why Jesus taught us never to use weapons in propagating the message of the true God! Matthew 26:52 May you have PEACE! ![]() |

MaxInDHouse: I still don't see how the Israelites lead by Moses, Joshua shouldn't be termed terrorist from what you wrote above. God gave them the land and they have to annihilate the inhabitants from it? If Muslims do this, they are radicals. Yahweh commanded this now, how is it different? |

AntiChristian: That's why HE is GOD. No one can question HIM. Whatever HE does, HE does. When HE wiped out the whole world in those days, who could challenge HIM? When HE rained fire and brimstone out of Heaven upon the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah, who could question HIM? When HE sent terrible nations to come up against HIS own people that they may be plundered, killed, destroyed and carried away captive after warning them several times to desist from wickedness and evil, or else HE will strike them, when HE finally struck them, who could blame HIM? Now HE said HE had sent HIS only begotten Son to die for your sins, that, if you believe on Him, you will be saved. And if you refuse to believe on HIS Son, you'll be damned for ever. Do you think HE was joking? GOD is the Most Supreme Being. You can never challenge HIM. You don't dare HIM because whatever HE says and does cannot be appealed nor challenged. That's why you're to obey and fear and worship HIM. Don't tempt GOD. |

Kayberg: Of cos no one can question God. When HE sent terrible nations to come up against HIS own people that they may be plundered, killed, destroyed and carried away captive after warning them several times to desist from wickedness and evil, or else HE will strike them, when HE finally struck them, who could blame HIM?Hmmm, So your God can do all these unbelievable acts? So where does the prince of peace come from when the father can be of peace and war? Now HE said HE had sent HIS only begotten Son to die for your sins, that, if you believe on Him, you will be saved. And if you refuse to believe on HIS Son, you'll be damned for ever. Do you think HE was joking?God get son? For what? Is he preserving his lineage or what? I can't understand why God need a helper. Why do God need human blood to save? GOD is the Most Supreme Being.Rightly said! That's why you're to obey and fear and worship HIM.Of cos I do Don't tempt GOD.No one can tempt God. But Satan tempted Jesus. 1 Like |

AntiChristian: The differences! [1] Muhammad never started with violence! Remember i too was a Muslim before my conversion so i knew that it was after lots and lots of attacks on the Muslims Muhammad got a revelation to fight back. So it wasn't that Muhammad was asked to go and dominate any city but to fight back those enemies who were determined to kill him! [2] Those residing on the lands Israelites were coming to inhabit already knew that the Most High as in the Almighty God is coming with the Israelites. That's why the Gibeonites begged the Israelites to allow them stay {Joshua 9:3-15} they knew what they supposed to do so they were spared. [3] God told the Israelites not to set their eyes on the land where Edomites (descendants of Esau) were staying {Deuteronomy 2:3-6} so it wasn't a case where radical Islamists are thinking they will dominate the whole world with Islam! [4] The Israelites weren't commaded to force their religion on anyone! Rather it's the small portion of land where God promised them that they need to dispossess those occupying the place! [5] After Jehovah conquered Egypt the world power back then without a military force His name needs not to be impressed in the hearts of people that hear the name "Israel" because everyone heard the name of the Mighty Spirit Being who singlehandedly rescued millions of people safely out of Egypt. Allah never did anything spectacular so there's nothing In fact no reason for anyone to fear Allah today! [6] The Arabs promoting this today aren't fighting for Allah, it's the political system that slipped out of their hands that they're thinking of regaining! Babylon was in Iraq so as one time world power the Arabs want to regain that power, they're only using Islam a means to recruit more slaves from those they want dominate to fight their battle for them. Know today that if everyone is to pick up weapons against one another in the name of Religion the Arabs will denounce Islam because there are many religions so instead of going around killing innocent people for the Arabs use your brains. Usman Dan Fodio was used by this same Arabs to force Islam on the northern part of Nigeria and today Islam is the religion of all their Kings but the question you supposed to ask yourself is "is that how Islam (a religion that's often referred to as peaceful) should be converting people by force?" Well America knew that Nebuchadnezzar tried to introduce religion to dominate the world but the true God stopped him because of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. Later Satan used Constantine (Roman Emperor) the system lasted for centuries due to the influence of the Roman Catholics Church. So the CIA knows all the plans of the Taliban, America is giving the power to each person in order to render religion futile. That's why the Taliban is against democracy because with democracy each person will have to determine: ©Those handling political affairs of their country. ©The women who are like nothing in Islam will also stand up as equals to men. Feminism! ©Homosexuals, Crossdressers, Lesbians and other immoral lifestyle will also be permitted under democracy. ©Alcoholic addicts are permitted under democracy. ©Freedom of speech and expression is also permitted under democracy. How can the Taliban who are trying to use Islam get through all these even in their own lands? That's why there's no PEACE anywhere the Taliban are fighting to establish their type of Islamization because even their own people will continue to sabotage their effort! All these are psychological weapons America is using to sabotage the efforts of the Taliban! I'm only telling you this SECRET because i was also a Muslim and an agent of the military intelligence. So if you like take my advice and if you like ignore but know that the Taliban never see you (a none Arab) as their brother and Islam means nothing to them, they're just trying to use you to gain world dominance! May you have PEACE! ![]() |

AntiChristian: The Law from the beginning of the world Commands the Doing of the Good and the Right. And detestable things are not good neither right, they are evil. Therefore, it is ALWAYS RIGHT to permanently remove and destroy evil. The Law is A Terrorist to the eye of the evil. And no soul likes evil in their land no, not even evil the evil soul. |

Dtruthspeaker:You misquoted the bible. He never said sword. If you are sure if what you said show me the portion of the bible. Now, where He said war, He also explained what He meant. Not killing,and maiming. It simply means people would go against each other because if Christ. Mother will go against daughter etc. |
Re: How Do Christians Interprete This Yahweh Verses? by MaxInDHouse(m): 2:39pm On Aug 20, 2021 |
duro4chang: The SWORD Jesus meant is God's word known today as "Bible" {Ephesians 6:17} this spiritual weapon doesn't affect the physical bodies but our figurative hearts {Hebrews 4:12} that's why Jesus said he didn't came for peace because whenever the truth of God's word began affecting or controlling someone Satan's system of rule will fail. Ephesians 6:12 And what is Satan's system of rule? Satan capitalizes on people around you to influence your thoughts so that even what you could have decipher yourself as evil your conscience will be weakened when your friends and relatives embrace it as normal! So by the time you're fighting the tendency to sin inside of you {Romans 7:13-25} Satan's world (people around you) will be fighting you from the outside! Matthew 10:36 ![]() |

duro4chang: Mathew 10: 34 KJV "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, But A Sword!" duro4chang: Now you have clarified your earlier statement to reflect the true state of what Christ said and meant which is a war that does not include the physical "killing and maiming" of the person of another. |
