I think it is a necessary, but sad and unfortunate thing.
Do you think it would be loving of God to allow a peaceful and loving people whom He has promised to protect to be victims of those who would come and destroy them?
Peace,

The facts are God is never peaceful in the OT. He encourages war and all its crimes for bounty and greed. At no stage does he help anyone peaceful. Dont assign attributes that are not demonstrated in the Bible. Dont pretend because we have a few verses with nice stuff and then ignore the thousands of vile, text filled with violence. This is the same bullshit tactic that Muslim apologists use when they say its a religion of peace, except when its filled with hatred. You shouldnt allow double standards.
