"They warred against Midian, as YAHWEH commanded Moses, and killed every male. They killed the kings of Midian ... And the people of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their little ones; and they took as booty all their cattle, their flocks, and all their goods. All their cities in the places where they dwelt, and all their encampments, they burned with fire." (Numbers 31:7)
"Moses was enraged with the officers of the army ... ‘So you spared the women! ... Kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has had sexual intercourse with a man, but keep the virgins for yourselves ... divide them up evenly.'" (Numbers 31:15)
"And Joshua mowed down Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. And YAHWEH said to Moses, 'Write this as a memorial in a book and recite it in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. A hand upon the banner of YAHWEH! YAHWEH will be at war with Amalek for all generations.'"

(Exodus 17:13)
"Thus says YAHWEH of hosts, 'I will punish what Amalek did to Israel in opposing them on the way, when they came up out of Egypt. Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have; do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ***.'" And Saul came to the city of Amalek, and lay in wait in the valley. And Saul said to the Kenites, "Go, depart, go down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them." ... So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites. And Saul defeated the Amalekites ... and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword ... And Saul said to Samuel, "I have obeyed the voice of YAHWEH, I have gone on the mission on which YAHWEH sent me, I have brought Agag the king of Amalek , and I have utterly destroyed the Amalekites." (1 Samuel 15:2, 20)

"Now David and his men went up, and made raids upon the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites ... And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, but took away the sheep, the oxen, the asses, the camels, and the garments, and came back to Achish ... And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring tidings to Gath, thinking, "Lest they should tell about us, and say, 'So David has done.'" Such was his custom all the while he dwelt in the country of the Philistines." (1 Samuel 27:8)
"For YAHWEH’S indignation is against all the nations, And His wrath against all their armies; He has utterly destroyed them, He has given them over to slaughter." (Isaiah 34:2)
"The people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of YAHWEH; and YAHWEH gave them into the hands of the Midianites seven years ... because of the Midianites the people of Israel hid in caves and holes in the ground." (Judges 6:1)

These are all israelite stories. Christ was centuries later so I do not see how theese apply to Christan behavior.

YAHWEH - the name to be FEARED... by people and by other GODS (see Bal)..
CHRIST - son of God... where He died for the SINNERS...
in old testament, u can find the people were not allowed to enter into the main area of the chruch... when Christ died the bond in the chruch which cover the main area and the rest was torn.. this shows we people should love as Christ LOVED us the sinners..
so Christian should love their enemies... but human being lack forgiveness... so pray to get the strength to overcome this trouble..

I think that is the rationale behind the MOAB's used in Iraq. To render the Iraqi civilians in to tiny pieces that christians can love.

We love them together - in one piece - better... Check out 2nd Kings 6:8-23. If more of us Christians did this, well... I think you get the picture...

LORD GOD TODD's love is the GODDESS in times new roman font cause she has a TODD inside her.

LORD GOD TODD=A
GODDESS=A
TRUE=A
mystery of bible solved
all things to praise HIM
EMPEROR
KING
GOD
LORD
in times new roman font they all describe ME the BoY called TODD and LARRY with IIII I . written on HIS ARM as the answer to REV 19.12 that the real royals want destroyed, and cause you fear their police you ain't willing to lift a hand. So let mankind suffer and to judge people after my death let all who opposed some form of his name go to the jeffry dalmer chop shop of hell.
LORD GOD TODD=GODDESS=TRUE
so GOD is LOVE when fn.

queen and dons love is laffable.
so turns out true god ain't royalty at all ever. they just usurped HIS powers.
