I know Goliath needed to be stoped but killing him didn't seem right. Did God not care about Goliath. I wouldn't feel loved if God wanted me to die. Goliath was a human being after all.

something people who ask questions like yours need to understand... God make the rules. Play by the rules or, ultimatly, suffer the conceqences. This intire univers belongs to God. God made it and made all of the science(rules) that governs it. God put mankind here on this earth to be the stewards of it. Mankind was to obay the rules...mankind did not, and dose not... God can do with his possesions as he sees fit... if Goliath, or you,or I, do not follow God's rules...we suffer the concequences...

Remember that David didn't kill Goliath in a chance encounter on the street. David's act was during a war between Israel and the Philistines--it's just that the conventions of war looked very different at that time and place.
The church has debated "just war theory" for many, many years. Put simply, a just war is the national equivalent of self-defense. If you believe that there are times when war, especially a defensive war, can be considered just, then it is understandable how David could have killed Goliath.

By the way, Goliath was not a descendent of the fallen angels, that is one of the reasons God deluged the earth. When the floods came, the angels put off their human bodies they made for themselves and returned to heaven but God set them in spiritual darkness from that time on, the children birthed by the angels called nephilim died in the flood since they were half human and not angels like their fathers. Goliath of the Philistines was a worshiper of false gods and the Philistines were threatening the Israelites, Goliath step forward as champion of the Philistines and challenged any Israelite to confront him, the winning army taking over the losers. God could not permit his hereditary possession, Israel, to fall into their hands. So, God chose David as the champion of Israel and stood behind him and eventually made him king of Israel.

If you read the account you will see that Goliath put himself in this position. He taunted the Israelite armies. If you read the account I think you will appreciate that it was Goliath who actually made this challenge.

God needed to instill Faith and Courage in the armed forces of Israel once again. Just because God 'loves' you does not mean that He will no punish you. Goliath was a pagan and was deifying God, so God punished him.

regardless of what the 1st poster stated, the bible DOES say thou shalt no longer KILL. for sure it relies upon upon what version of the bible you're examining, (lots could be lost in translation . . . ). besides the shown fact that, there are loads of circumstances the place god allowed the israelites to kill (goliath is yet in basic terms one occasion). I commend your bible instructor for admitting that he did no longer know something, extremely than attempting to make up some lame concept. besides the shown fact that, i'm hoping he a minimum of tried to locate an answer from somebody who analyze and is knowledgeble related to the bible. a minimum of, possibly you will possibly desire to study the bible for your self and attempt to determine. you will get the oftentimes going on solutions approximately human beings being enemies of god and the israelites; besides the shown fact that, the caananites have been there previously the them, and sought no quarrel with them (i do no longer think of), yet they have been killed. Leviticus additionally says to admire foreigners on your land, as you have been foreigners interior the land of egypt. So genuinely the respond on your question isn't as sparkling cut back as a number of those know-it-alls might like it to be.
