Isn't god a bastard?

Question

Murder, rape, and pillage at Jabesh-gilead (Judges 21:10-24 NLT)



So they sent twelve thousand warriors to Jabesh-gilead with orders to kill everyone there, including women and children. "This is what you are to do," they said. "Completely destroy all the males and every woman who is not a virgin." Among the residents of Jabesh-gilead they found four hundred young virgins who had never slept with a man, and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh in the land of Canaan.



The Israelite assembly sent a peace delegation to the little remnant of Benjamin who were living at the rock of Rimmon. Then the men of Benjamin returned to their homes, and the four hundred women of Jabesh-gilead who were spared were given to them as wives. But there were not enough women for all of them. The people felt sorry for Benjamin because the LORD had left this gap in the tribes of Israel. So the Israelite leaders asked, "How can we find wives for the few who remain, since all the women of the tribe of Benjamin are dead? There must be heirs for the survivors so that an entire tribe of Israel will not be lost forever. But we cannot give them our own daughters in marriage because we have sworn with a solemn oath that anyone who does this will fall under God's curse."



Then they thought of the annual festival of the LORD held in Shiloh, between Lebonah and Bethel, along the east side of the road that goes from Bethel to Shechem. They told the men of Benjamin who still needed wives, "Go and hide in the vineyards. When the women of Shiloh come out for their dances, rush out from the vineyards, and each of you can take one of them home to be your wife! And when their fathers and brothers come to us in protest, we will tell them, 'Please be understanding. Let them have your daughters, for we didn't find enough wives for them when we destroyed Jabesh-gilead. And you are not guilty of breaking the vow since you did not give your daughters in marriage to them.'" So the men of Benjamin did as they were told. They kidnapped the women who took part in the celebration and carried them off to the land of their own inheritance. Then they rebuilt their towns and lived in them. So the assembly of Israel departed by tribes and families, and they returned to their own homes.

Answer 1

Yeah and it's amazing how arrogant christians can be and then selectively ignore some writings of the bible, while pretending to believe that the bible has all of the answers to anything. Typical brain-washing!

Answer 2

In the Bible you have much stories that are simply Jewish history and are (for God knows what reason) still referred to as rightful parts of The Book. Some of them might have a hidden meaning, but if they don't, it's just a way of explaining why things happpened.
Earth is not a video-game which God likes to play ever now and then. I personally don't believe that He would interfere so much. That's why you have, in hebrew, two names for God: Elohim, the creating God and Jehve, God the ruler.
I choose to believe in Elohim, The Lord and don't reckognise Jehve as a part of the first!

Answer 3

particularly some the biggest misconceptions that many non-Muslims have approximately Islam would desire to do with the word "Allah". for particularly some reasons, many human beings have come to have confidence that Muslims worship a various God than Christians and Jews. it is thoroughly fake, when you consider that "Allah" is purely the Arabic word for "God" - and there is purely one God. enable there be little question - Muslims worship the God of Noah, Abraham, Moses, David and Jesus - peace be upon all of them. notwithstanding, it is unquestionably genuine that Jews, Christians and Muslims all have diverse innovations of Almighty God. as an occasion, Muslims - like Jews - reject the Christian ideals of the Trinity and the Divine Incarnation. This, notwithstanding, does not advise that each and every of those 3 religions worships a various God - as a results of fact, as we've already stated, there is purely one genuine God.

Answer 4

You need to ask God that.

Would it help if there was more information about the verses you listed, was there more befre and after, and if so did you leave them out for any reason? What is the whole story? Should that really be the question????

Just asking.

Answer 5
