Mercy "Blessed are the merciful" [Matthew 5:7] "Leave alive nothing that breathes. Show them no mercy." [Deut. 7:2] "The Lord hardened their hearts... that they might receive no mercy." [Joshua 11:20] "I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the Lord: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them. A curse on him who is lax in doing the Lord's work! A curse on him who keeps his sword from bloodshed." [Jer. 13:14; 48:10]" >>>>>>> Deut7:2 <<<<<<< "And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:" v2. "...Thou shalt smite them and utterly destroy them." Those who think that there was cruelty in this command, usurp too great authority in respect to Him who is the judge of all. The objection is specious that the people of God were unreasonably imbued with inhumanity, so that, advancing with murderous atrocity, they should spare neither sex nor age. But we must first remember what we shall see hereafter, i.e., that when God had destined the land for His people, He was at liberty utterly to destroy the former inhabitants, so that its possession might be free for them. We must then go further, and say that He desired the just demonstration of His vengeance to appear upon these nations. Four hundred years before He had justly punished their many sins, yet had He suspended His sentence and patiently borne with them, if haply they might repent. That sentence is well known, "The iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full." (Genesis 15:16.) After God had shewn His mercy for four centuries, and this clemency had increased both their audacity and madness, so that they had not ceased to provoke His wrath, surely it was no act of cruelty to compensate for the delay by the grievousness of the punishment. And hence appears the foul and detestable perversity of the human intellect. We are indignant if He does not smile at once; if He delays punishment our zeal accuses Him of slackness and want of energy; yet, when He comes forth as the avenger of guilt, we either call Him cruel, or at least complain of His severity. Yet His justice will always absolve Him; and our calumnies and detractions will recoil upon our own heads. He commanded seven nations to be utterly destroyed; that is to say, after they had added sin to sin for 400 years, so that their accumulation was immense, and experience had taught that they were obstinate and incurable. It will therefore be said elsewhere, that the land "spewed them out," (Leviticus 18:28,) as if it had eased itself, when burdened by their filthiness. If impiety is intolerable to the lifeless element, why should we wonder that God in His character of Judge exercised extreme severity? But if God's wrath was just, He might surely choose whatever ministers and executioners of it He pleased; and when He had given this commission to His people, it was not unreasonable that He should forbid them to pity those whom He had appointed for destruction. For what can be more preposterous than for men to vie with God in clemency? and when it pleases the Master to be severe, for the servants to assume to themselves the right of shewing mercy? Therefore God often reproves the Israelites for being improperly merciful. And hence it came to pass that the people, whom they ought to have destroyed, became as thorns and briars to prick them. (Joshua 23:13, and throughout the book of Judges.) Away, then, with all temerity, whereby we would presumptuously restrict God's power to the puny measure of our reason; and rather let us learn reverently to regard those works of His, whose cause is concealed from us, than wantonly criticise them. Especially when He declares to us the just grounds of His vengeance, let us learn to subscribe to His decrees with the humility and modesty that becomes us, rather than to oppose them in vain, and indeed to our own confusion. NONE of that crap post negates anything. Why is your religion so cruel and "evil"? "usurp too great authority in respect to Him" Really? Seriously? |

"How blessed will be the one who seizes and dashes your little ones against the rock," (Psalm 137:9).
Critics often bring up this verse as an attack on the validity of the Bible. But, does the Bible teach that it is okay to kill children? The answer, of course, is no it doesn't. But we must ask what the Psalmist was saying and why he was saying it. The context of Psalm 137 is the Babylonian captivity. The Psalmist speaks of the captors tormenting the people of God (vv. 1-3), a promise to remember Jerusalem (vv. 5-6), and a curse against the captors (vv. 7-9). The Psalmist is in exile and had probably witnessed the atrocities committed against his people, babies included. In the revenge-style that was so common at the time, he wishes the same upon his enemy as a description of their utter destruction. Nowhere does it say that God approves of the Psalmist’s request or that he fulfilled it. Just because it is recorded that the Psalmist wrote the imprecation, doesn’t mean it was approved by God. It is worth noting that the Old Testament records many atrocities. The fact is that God allowed people their sinful desires and he worked within their culture, even as he does now, as he permits all kinds of bad things to happen. " ----------------------------------------------------- 'Crushing testicles' and castration was a pagan practice to show devotion to some deity. 'Eating of children' actually occured during the seige of Jerusalem due to famine. Something Jeremiah warned them would happen, those who heeded his warning escaped. |

Iteresting...
I thought sound bites were only something used in political campaigns. Now I see that they can be applied to the written word for any kind of propaganda. I have not read the book in questions but I have heard some of the parts that people say out loud to one another. (that would be the true living bible). So I can see these 'sound bites' for what they are. |

Fri 10/01/10 07:32 PMPsalm 137:9
Psa 137 “Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.” THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF DIVINE JUSTICE. THE BABYLONIANS HAD TAKEN BABIES FROM THEIR MOTHER'S BREAST & KILLED THEM BY SMASHING THEIR HEADS AGAINST THE ROCKS. THE PSALMIST IS TALKING ABOUT IT BEING DEVINE JUSTICE THAT THEY ONE DAY WILL DO TO THE BABYLONIANS WHAT THEY DID TO THE ISRAELITE FAMILIES. FIRST OF ALL, THIS IS THE PRINCIPLE OF AN EYE FOR AN EYE. SECOND, IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE CHILDREN WILL DIE FOR EVER. THERE IS COMING A TIME WHEN ALL THOSE WHO DID NOT HAVE A CHANCE FOR SALVATION WILL RECEIVE THAT CHANCE. FOR EXAMPLE THE SCRIPTURES STATE: Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. Rev 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. THE FIRST RESURRECTION IS COMPRISED OF TRUE BELIEVERS IN THIS LIFE, BUT THERE IS COMING A SECOND RESURRECTION AFTER THE MILLENNIUM IN WHICH THE REST OF THE DEAD WILL BE RAISED AND THEY CAN THEN HAVE THEIR CHANCE. FOR EXAMPLE, FOR NOW GOD IS NOT CALLING EVERYONE. 1Co 1:26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: FURTHER, GOD STATES THAT HE HAS PERSONALLY BLINDED ISRAEL FOR THE PURPOSE OF CALLING GENTILES RIGHT NOW. HOWEVER, HE SPEAKS OF A TIME WHEN ALL ISRAEL SHALL BE (THE FUTURE) SAVED. Rom 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. Rom 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: Rom 11:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. SO THIS IS GOD'S COVENANT WITH THEM, WHEN HE WILL TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS. WHEN WILL THAT BE? IT WILL BE AFTER THE THOUSAND YEARS ARE FULFILLED. NOTICE THAT EZEKIEL ISAIAH SPEAKS OF THIS TIME, AS WELL AS EZEKIEL: Isa 65:20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. Isa 65:21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. THUS THOSE CHILDREN SHALL LIVE TO BE AT LEAST ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLD AT THIS TIME, AND GOD'S PEOPLE WILL BE CALLED. EZEKIEL CONTINUES: ze 37:1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, Eze 37:2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. Eze 37:3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest. Eze 37:4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. Eze 37:5 Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: Eze 37:6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. SO, WHO ARE THESE BONES? THEY ARE THOSE WHO WERE NOT CONVERTED IN THIS LIFE. THEY WILL BE RAISED TO FLESH AND BLOOD AT THE END OF A THOUSAND YEARS AFTER CHRIST RETURNS AND THEN THEY WILL COME TO KNOW THEIR GOD AND REPENT AND ACCEPT HIM THEN. Eze 37:11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. Eze 37:12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. Eze 37:13 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, Eze 37:14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD. MANKIND HAS BEEN CUT OFF FROM GOD SINCE THE GARDEN OF EDEN. HE INTERVENED IN MANS AFFAIRS A FEW TIMES WHEN HE FELT IT NECESSARY, AND CALLED ISRAEL. THEY DISOBEYED HIM, AND WERE CUT OFF FROM HIM TOO, BUT AS BARBARIC HAS MAN HAS BEEN TOWARD OTHER MEN, THERE IS COMING A TIME OF RECONCILLIATION WHEN GOD RETURNS TO TAKE BACK THIS EARTH AND RESTORE IT TO THE CONDITION HE HAD ORIGINALLY PLANNED. |

2 Kings 18:27
“But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? Hath he not sent me to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own pizz with you?” RABSHAKEH WAS THE REPRESENTATIVE OF SENNACHARIB THE GENERAL OF THE ASSYRIAN ARMY. HE HAD TAKEN MUCH OF ISRAEL CAPTIVE AND NOW CAME TO JERUSALEM. IT WAS HIS AMBASSADOR SAYING THIS IN AN ATTEMPT TO SCARE THE JEWS INTO SUBMISSION. THE KING OF JUDAH PETITIONED GOD AND GOD SAVED THEM. THE ASSYRIAN ARMY DESTROYED THEMSELVES. |

Deuteronomy 21:18-21
“If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.” THIS COMES FROM THE FIFTH COMMANDMENT. WE ARE TO HONOR OUR MOTHERS AND FATHERS. THIS WAS TO BE DONE IN FRONT OF THE ENTIRE CONGREGATION AND THE FIRST TO THRONE THE STONES WERE THE PARENTS. THEREFORE, THEY WOULD NOT BE LIKELY TO DO THIS UNLESS THE CHILD REFUSED CORRECTION. THUS HE WAS AS GOOD AS A CRIMINAL ELEMENT IN SOCIETY. TODAY, WE TAKE THE OPPOSITE APPROACH AND ARE PROUD OF IT. WE PENALIZE THE VICTIM OF REWARD THE CRIMINAL. THIS WAS GOD'S WAY OF ELIMINATING FUTURE CRIME. MY FIRST GOOGLE OF CRIMES BY YOUTH: The stories that are true are frightening. Most recently, shocking accounts of school violence have captured the nation’s attention, riveting the country toward the “problem” of adolescent violence in our schools. And young people are in danger. The United States has the worst youth violence rates in the world. But the key to piecing together the puzzle of youth violence is first to look at the facts. According to the Surgeon General, almost one out of every three sixteen to seventeen year olds in the United States self reports participating in acts of serious violence. From 1985 to 1994, the rate of homicides committed by youth aged fourteen to seventeen years increased by 172 percent. In 1999, 35.7 percent of high school students reported being in a physical fight within the last twelve months. While these numbers are alarming, there is also some good news. Arrest rates for weapons offenses among ten to seventeen year old youth doubled between 1987 and 1993, but then dropped by 24 percent by 1997. Between 1995 and 1997, there was a 22.4 percent drop in the number of youth who reported carrying a firearm once in the past three days. JUST KEEP BELIEVING THAT WE SHOULD NOT PUNISH YOUNG PEOPLE, AND THIS IS WHAT YOU GET. PUNISH THEM SEVERELY IN PUBLIC AND NO ELSE FOLLOWS THEI EXAMPLE, BUT WE THINK WE ARE TOO GOOD, TOO CIVILIZED AND KIND FOR THAT. SO WE SUFFER THE TERRIBLE CONSEQUENCES. |

Ezekiel 16:17 “You also took the fine jewelry I gave you, the jewelry made of my gold and silver, and you made for yourself male idols and engaged in prostitution with them.”
THIS PIECE IS AN EXCERPT REGARDING GOD'S RELATIONSHIP WITH ISRAEL. HE TOOK HER AS A BABE IN HER BLOOD, CLEANED HER UP AND MADE HER RICH UNDER THE RULE OF SOLOMON, BUT SHE TOOK THE RICHES AND JEWELS THAT WERE GOD'S GIFT TO HER, AND ACTED LIKE A PROSTITUTE, HAVEING RELATIONS WITH OTHER NATIONS AND THEIR HORRIBLE GODS. THIS IS THE SAME THING WE ARE DOING IN OUR NATION TODAY. WE WERE BASED ON THE PRINCIPLES OF GOD FOUND IN THE BIBLE AND WE HAVE PUSHED HIM OUT OF OUR NATION SO WE COULD BE LIKE OTHER NATIONS. WE WILL EVENTUALLY LOSE ALL THE WONDERFUL BLESSINGS OF GOD. THINK OF THE NATURAL DISASTERS, WARS, AND PROBLEMS WE HAVE HAD SINCE 9/11. YOU CAN PLAY YOUR INTELLECUTAL GAMES ALL YOU LIKE, BUT WATCH THE DEMISE OF THIS COUNTRY BEFORE YOUR EYES IN THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS. WE ARE PROSTITUTING OURSELVES WITH NATIONS LIKE CHINA, RUSSIA, AND OTHERS. WE HAVE PUSHED GOD OUT OF THE GOVERNMENT, SCHOOLS, HALLS OF JUSTICE, AND NOW WE MOCK HIM OPENLY. DISASTER IS COMING. |

Judges 3:19-24 “But he himself turned back at the idols near Gilgal and said, ‘I have a secret message for you, O king.’ And he commanded, ‘Silence.’ And all his attendants went out from his presence. And Ehud came to him as he was sitting alone in his cool roof chamber. And Ehud said, ‘I have a message from God for you.’ And he arose from his seat. And Ehud reached with his left hand, took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly. And the hilt also went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not pull the sword out of his belly; and the dung came out. Then Ehud went out into the porch and closed the doors of the roof chamber behind him and locked them. When he had gone, the servants came, and when they saw that the doors of the roof chamber were locked, they thought, ‘Surely he is relieving himself in the closet of the cool chamber.’“
DURING THE PERIOD OF THE JUDGES, ISRAEL WOULD FALL AWAY FROM GOD AND SUFFER BY BEING TAKEN OVER BY OTHER NATIONS. THIS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY, HOWEVER, WHEN THEY WOULD RETURN TO GOD, HE WOULD HELP THEM. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE CASES, GOD SENT A DELIVERER TO SAVE THE PEOPLE FROM THE KING OF MOAB. Jdg 3:12 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD. Jdg 3:13 And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees. Jdg 3:14 So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years. Jdg 3:15 But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab. Jdg 3:16 But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh. Jdg 3:17 And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man. Jdg 3:18 And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present. Jdg 3:19 But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him. Jdg 3:20 And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat. Jdg 3:21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly: Jdg 3:22 And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out. SO, GOD'S SERVANT KILLED THE KING WHO RULED RUTHLESSLY OVER ISRAEL. WHEN THEY REPENTED, GOD SENT A MAN TO KILL THE FAT KING. HE STABBED HIM AND CUT HIS INTESTINES. THIS IS GOD'S JUDGMENT ON NATIONS WHO ATTEMPT TO RULE HIS PEOPLE WHEN THEY ARE SERVIING AND TRUSTING IN HIM. THIS COULD BE OUR POSITION, BUT WE HAVE CHOSEN NOT TO TRUST HIM OR TO FOLLOW HIS WAYS, SO A KING WILL TAKE US OVER. HE IS CALLED THE BEAST IN REVELATION. HIS TEMPORARY ALLY WILL BE A FALSE PROPHET WHO WILL WORK MIRACLES AND CAUSE PEOPLE TO WORSHIP CONTRARY TO THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. EVENTUALLY CHRIST WILL RETURN AND DESTROY THESE MEN IN A LIKE MANNER. |

Very true. Will be a glorious day when Jesus returns. |

many more caring humans have only gotten smart enough to push hypocisy and hate and bias out of common sense.
many more caring humans have simply learned that no representation of god ever made by human man is anything they want. many that love their fellow man, whether they be in china, or anywhere else, refuse to allow such bigotry spread in the name of god to decide human direction. many that care about women and children simply could give a fucck less about getting to heaven for themself. many that care enough have become wise enough to see that any belief that espouses SOME OF GOD, AND SOME NOT OF GOD, KILLS IN THE END. many that care more simply care enough to want TYRANTS WHOM DEMAND HOW OTHER'S SHOULD SLEEP, LOVE, EAT, DRESS, TALK, PAINT, DANCE, HAVE SEX, BE SEEN FOR THE TYRANTS OF SELF IMPORTANCE THEY ARE. many simply refuse to be treated as children any longer, by those that embrace religions but think with less intellect and reasoning and logic than a child. whew... thank god. the end of all religions draws nigh. the end of the curse of mankind. the end of the beast that decieved all mankind at some time or other. whew... what a lot of killling it took.. till finally no religions. praise the lord. |

Deuteronomy 23:1 "No one whose testicles are crushed or whose male organ is cut off shall enter the assembly of the Lord."
HERE IS THE PROBLEMS WITH PEOPLE TODAY. THEY DO N0T HAVE ANY IDEA OF WHO GOD IS. THEY HAVE NO RESPECT FOR HIM, HIS GLORY, OR HIS HOLINESS. BUT JUST SO YOU HAVE AN IDEA, WHEN HE CAME DOWN ON MT SIANI, THE PEOPLE DID NOT SEE HIM. THEY JUST FELT THE EFFECT OF HIS PRESENCE, AND THEY LET THEIR BOWLS LOOSED. HIS PRESENCE SCARED THE ....OUT OF THEM. A HUMAN BEING CANNOT EVEN LOOK ON GOD AND LIVE. WHEN HE RETURNS, HE FIRST BRINGS ALL THE GREAT ARMIES OF THE NATIONS TO THE MIDDLE EAST, THEN WHEN HE IS RETURNING, THEY FIGHT HIM. HE EXPOSES HIMSELF TO THEM, AND THE FLESH MELTS OFF THEY BONES, ZEC 14. (READ IT). IF PEOPLE HAD ANY IDEA WHO THIS BEING WAS, THEY WOULD FEAR TO PRESENT ANY BLEMISHED ANIMAL OR HUMAN BEFORE HIM. BUT WE ACTUALLY THINK WE ARE BETTER AND MORE LOVING THAN GOD. IT IS BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW HIM. HE WARNS US, NOT FOR HIS SAKE, BUT FOR OURS: Lev 21:17 Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God. Lev 21:18 For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous, Lev 21:19 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, Lev 21:20 Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken; Lev 21:21 No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God. Lev 21:22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy. Lev 21:23 Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify them. THIS IS THE BEING WHOSE RADIENT GLORY IS ENOUGH TO LIGHT UP THE NEW JERUSALEM WHICH IS 1400 MILES LONG, WIDE, AND TALL. I WOUULD SUGGEST NOT MOCKING HIM, OR EVEN GIVING HIM LIP SERVICE AND NOT OBEDIENCE. IT'S JUST A SUGGESTION. DO WHAT YOU WANT. |

Children of the highest, our father in heaven. we? who do you speak for? why we all know, it is YOURSELF, and but any that believe as you that you deem CHILD GODS. therefore some AS CHILDREN OF THE HIGHEST, OF THE FATHER IN HEAVEN, and NOT all the rest? so, again your words are riddled with inconsistency... what is said. and what is actual. what is proclaimed. and what is real. perhaps why religion creates lack of sanity, for not knowing reality, since it promotes but BELIEFS as to WHO SELF IS, rather than reality. the reality. one could and would not propose any other needs oneself, IF IT DEEMED ALL AS EQUAL CHILDREN OF HIGHEST, OF THE HEAVENS. lol... such blatant and total hypocricy in such statements. only that which resided in no reality, could deny it. |
