Question

God Commands Burning Humans



3) More Murder Rape and Pillage (Deuteronomy 20:10-14)



As you approach a town to attack it, first offer its people terms for peace. If they accept your terms and open the gates to you, then all the people inside will serve you in forced labor. But if they refuse to make peace and prepare to fight, you must attack the town. When the LORD your God hands it over to you, kill every man in the town. But you may keep for yourselves all the women, children, livestock, and other plunder. You may enjoy the spoils of your enemies that the LORD your God has given you.

[The Lord speaking] "The one who has stolen what was set apart for destruction will himself be burned with fire, along with everything he has, for he has broken the covenant of the LORD and has done a horrible thing in Israel." (Joshua 7:15 NLT)

Answer 1

once again, Judaism, Christianity, Islam... are coming from one, and historically are based on slavery. remember why moses&co were rooming around in the desert for 40 years.
God is everything, he gives, he takes, he rewards you, and he punishes you. You should be thankfull for everything, bad or good, suffering is good...bla, bla, you r guilty since your birth... unclean, and on. so those are just some rules of a Lord for his slaves. amd one day they became a holly book, to prise the allmighty Lord.

Answer 2

This will take a while. In the Old Testament, God gave physical commandments with physical consequences. All of those commandments were symbolic of the spiritual commandments and spiritual consequences that we are supposed to live by today. In several places, God talks about Israel being a stiff necked people quick to forget the Lord their God. In order for Israel to have a chance of success in obeying God, they had to cleanse the land of foreign peoples and false beliefs. The physical cleansing of the land from people outside of God's covenant was symbolic of cleansing our lives of all uncleanness. Please understand that death to God is not the final solution that we think of as mortals. Death merely brings God's children back to His realm where they can be further instructed and corrected. If His children have gone so far astray of His teachings so as to render it impossible for them to grow up in righteousness, then He often brought them home early; ie, killed them off. By cleansing the land, He gave His covenant a chance ot succeed. We learn by reading the scriptures that Israel did not keep the covenant either. When a person within the covenant broke the commandments, the punishment was severe, death, in order to keep Israel clean. Today, we suffer in a spiritual sense, being removed from God's influence, or spiritual death. Thus, in order to feel God's presence in our lives, we have to be spiritually clean as they had to be physically clean. When we sin, we become unable to feel God's influence, thus spiritually dead, as they became physically dead. It was all a matter of teaching a rather dense people how to obey. We are supposed to more enlightened and capable of choosing right.

Answer 3

You are taking it out of context! That was written about a town who had been hiding a man who raped one of the jewish elders daughters. And the town had refused to give him up.

Answer 4

as paradise said, those were evil dudes. However, G-d didn't want to simply kill them, though they deserved it, so He offered them a chance to change their ways. simple as that.

(very similar to the allied forces in WWII. We kicked those guys @$$es until they agreed to live according to a standard we established.)
