  Soldiers of Jah

  i would like to propose an ethical dilemma for those who believe in the divine inspiration of the bible.. in the following scenarios i am not asking you what you would have done but rather, what you hope you would have had the courage to do.. scenario 1. you are camped on the east side of the jordan waiting for orders to cross into the promised land.

  moses is nearing the end of his life but he has some unfinished business to take care of before he hands over to joshua.

  he announces that he has had an instruction from god to take revenge on the midianites before he dies.

  Brotherdan I have just looked back trough this thread and noticed you have not said a single word about the original topic.

  How about you read the OP and share your thoughts?

  I have already, I did my 9 years as a bible believing xtian after leaving the borg. Just a shame it took me so long to apply the same objectivity to the bible that I needed to escape the watchtower

  Which is to evade the original question.

  We don't need to wait to logically weigh the evidence and conclude that the bible is no more a reliable foundation on which to build our lives and the future of our families than was The Watchtower.

  For crying out loud do some research in some proper science books and post what you discover on another thread.

  brotherdan the evidence for the big bang is so sound its a long time since I heard a creationist attempt to deny it. I think that's another thread though, this one is about the ethical problem faced by those who hold to the inspiration of scripture

  At least your honest about your position, that's easier to respect than those who pretend their faith is based on objective evidence.

  You assume that the bible contains authentic words of Jesus on what basis?

  Child and human sacrifice to their gods that I've read

  So annihilating thousands of children was god's way of ending child sacrifice - oh the wisdom of god
