Since God initiated and supported wars in the Bible, does that mean we can flood the Earth if we want?

Go ahead and try

Answer 2

It is fatuous to suggest that God ever initiated or supported any war in the Bible! How have you arrived at this rather simplistic conclusion? How do you define the Bible, if by the five books of the Pentateuch, they were written by human beings, some illustrious other less so, but mostly a few millenna back and largely represent the history of the Jewish and some other contemporary people spanning some 6.000 years and unfortunately an untold number of wars.Wars are fought when people are at odds with one another, for whatever reason and invariably when a war cannot be morally justified, mankind invariably hides behind a divine cause and self-righteousness. I do not understand your reference to flooding the earth which is, just about as confused as your reference to God being the archetype warmonger. Try again and somewhat better next time!

Answer 3

God has nothing to do with it! Man wants wars and they make them! The Bible says not to "kill" yet there will always be exceptions to that as long as man is making up minds and laws.

I think if man could flood the earth, they would. They pollute it!
But alot in the Bible is contradictive. So good luck on the wide spread of anwers you get here!

Answer 4

God has never initiated a dam thing on this earth, it was insane idiot men that initiated and supported wars, and made up mythical stories that were put in the bible,

Answer 5

I think global warming is going to do it to ourselves.
But when God had the people go to war they killed people who were very wicked and practiced human sacrifice and burned babies and deserved to die. When his own people became as wicked as the surrounding nations he didn't help them anymore and they fell victume to wars. He let the others kill them. Until finally he cast them off as his people and said he was going to take people out of all the nations to serve him. matthew 21:43 Will be taken from you and given to a nation producing those fruits of righteousness. Matthew 25:32 All nations will be gathered before him and goes on the judgement of each indivual.
Revelation 16:14 says he is going to go forth to the kings of the entire inhabited earth. That tells me none is his chosen country.

Answer 6

No, he supported them 6000-2000 years ago, in the OT. The OT is the series of events that led to the NT, which is what Christians practice.

When he gave us Jesus, the victory was finally established. We don't need wars. The holy spirit is the one who convicts.

Praise God.

And by the way, you are no one to judge the perfect judge who sits on the throne of heaven, and nor am I.

God bless.

Do you know what "Testament" means?

Answer 7

i hope not. here's an excerpt from a new book on the evil of religion.

Billions of people share the belief that the creator of the universe wrote (or dictated) one of the many holy books. Unfortunately, there are many books that claim divine authorship, and they make incompatible claims to divine authorship; and they make incompatible claims as to how we MUST live. Competing religious doctrines have shattered our world into separate moral communities, and these divisions have become a continual course of human conflict.

In response, many sensible people advocate something called ‘religious tolerance’. While religious tolerance is surely better than religious war, tolerance is not without its problems. Out fear of provoking religious hatred has rendered us unwilling to criticize ideas that are maladaptive. It has obliged us to lie to ourselves—repeatedly and at the highest levels of discourse—about the compatibility of religion and scientific rationality. Our competing religious certainties are impeding the emergence of a viable global civilization. Religious faith—faith that there is a God who cares what His name is called, faith that Jesus is coming back to earth—is on the wrong side of an increasing war of ideas—“Letter to a Christian Nation” by Sam Harris

Answer 8

Um are you comparing God's judgement to man's judgement? Perhaps that's where your confusion lies. Can a judge in a courtroom render a verdict of guilty and sentence a person to prison? Does that make the judge a kidnapper? Think things through before you ask a question. It doesn't make sense.

Answer 9

Nope,after the flood God said He would never again flood the whole earth.Next time ...by Fire baby!(2nd Peter and Revelation)

Answer 10

I think you ought to look as to the whys of that, and where are you going to get enough water from?

Anyway, He promised there would never be another world-wide flood. Nope. The next time it'll be with fire.

Answer 11

You can do whatever you want...right up until the time that your life is required of you and you have to stand before him to answer for it.
