Koran 9:73 and 9:123 commands the faithful to make war on the unbelievers. In Deuteronomy 13:6, God orders his followers to murder without pity any neighbor, friend or family member who questions his authority. In John 15:6, Jesus suggests that the faithless deserve incineration. How does one get around these passages?

According to Christianity and Islam God threatens you with eternal hell if you don't do what you're told. Would you make such a threat to a child you love?

In God's eyes, His church is spiritual Israel. Those who accept Christ and His truth become Jews according to the promise given to Abraham. Galations 3:27-29
Deuteronomy 13:6 is talking about family members or friends who secretly were enticing the Israelites to serve other gods.

God loves all and sundry. in step with threat in the past you criticize God, study the Bible. It has the solutions you like. dying does no longer propose your long gone, dying is sweet! It ability eternal existence. existence on the earth is in basic terms a small time-physique, style of like an in-between. at last, heaven is the eternal place the place the coolest souls will bypass. God loves us plenty, he supplies us eternal existence! He gave us his Son, Jesus, to shop us from dying! sure, of course our bodies die, yet our souls are granted eternal existence and happiness. and don't take the Bible actually. no longer each and every thing got here approximately. they are memories and examples. yet God gave us loose will to make our very own judgements. and all and sundry dies-no count in case you have self assurance or no longer. it is the after-existence that concerns. in case you have self assurance and do good on the earth, then heaven interior the ultimatum. yet, do no longer difficulty. He provides a 2d threat, in Pergutory. and that i might desire to bypass on and on all day, yet it is sweet sufficient for now. I propose you study the Bible. God loves you plenty, supply Him a large gamble to tutor it. desire this helped and that i pray you turn to Him!

John 15:6 says, "If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned."
This doesn't mean YOU should incinerate people. It means they are casting themselves away with the garbage, and God will incinerate them.

God loves MAN.No he does not love every individual enough to give them everlasting life.Yes he loves each enough to give them a chance at salvation.
God hated Esau.That we are only made things does not register on most people.You may love the things you create but that they will most all perish does not bother you.Think like that when you think about how God feels about us.To Him our lives are but a wisp of smoke.That in that brief time he cares enough to touch us individually is beyond comprehension.

It was not about love at that time; it was about conquest of the land.
As you can see, the Arabs won this battle, since they have 22 countries of their own & still want Israel, the one piece of land the Jewish nation owns.

God is bigoted, violent and sadistic. Sure he'll love you if you do everything he says and if you dont he'll send to hell where you'll burn alive for eternity while he just watches. Hah, yeah, real loving there...
