No human being would feel complemented if it was said of him (or her) that he ordered genocide to be commited, supported slavery, ordered the adult women of enemy tribes who had had sex to be killed but to keep the virgin little girls "for yourselves", etc! Yet when Christians say that the Bible is true, they are atributing these thing to the Lord... If the Christians really love their Lord, they should be DENYING that these things are true about their God!

in accordance to the Trinity doctrine, Jesus is God, yet a separate man or woman from the daddy. The doctrine teaches that there are 3 separate persons -- the daddy, The Son and The Holy Spirit -- who all contain one God. If this education is real, there might want to no longer be any scripture contained in the Bible that portrays Jesus as an entity separate and different from God -- separate and different from the daddy, certain; yet no longer separate and different from God. via way of evaluation, word that there is no scripture contained in the Bible that portrays the daddy as a separate and different entity from God. it will be fully ridiculous, puzzling, unnecessary and contradictory for the Bible to back and back confer with Jesus as an entity separate and different from God, if Jesus is God. although the scriptures you quoted do precisely that. back and back they communicate of Jesus being on the right hand of, no longer the daddy, yet God, for this reason contradicting the Trinity doctrine. because the Bible is God's note of truth, the very undeniable truth that it so usually contradicts the Trinity doctrine can advise merely one element -- the Trinity doctrine is fake. (John 17:17) i think -- because i think maximum people have a minimum of a modicum of intelligence -- that deep down, many Trinitarians understand that the doctrine is fake. yet pride and/or a desire to slot in with the 'Christian' crowd compels them to play alongside, pretending or convincing themselves that they think it. Many are for this reason in a state of denial about this falsehood. merely inspect how they answer the question. Many gained't even deal with the certain challenge you've raised, head on -- because they could't. Their merely selection is to push aside it and quote different so observed as 'data texts'. this isn't because they lack intelligence. it really is because there is no credible and passable argument to disprove what the Bible -- God's authoritative note of truth -- very blatantly exhibits.

You're tying to come off as being intellectual and bright, but in reality, you've not read the Bible in context and ascertained the meaning of what went on in the Old Testament. You've obviously read bits and pieces of it, or have read someones distorted commentary online at some website, and came up with this very wrong conclusion.
If the things you mentioned were indeed true, and that was truly the message God was portraying, then why would there be ANY believers at all? The answer is, God is NOT doing what you are saying here.
There was a purpose for all things in the Old Testament, which in fact led to the events in the New Testament. If you would take the time to read the WHOLE scripture rather than part of it, you would draw a completely different conclusion.
I was looking at your screen name..... It seems that you focus hard on cartoons........hardly a brain exercise. And you want to take on Biblical scripture? Hmmm....

There are 3 Gods, God the Father, "WHICH IS IN HEAVEN"
God the father, which is in hell and LORD God which is Jesus Christ. Because Satan used the names of God to confuse and deceive Jesus Chose new name for God the creator and God the Son.
Everywhere in the New Testament you will find Jesus used Father, which is in heaven, or the Father, in my name. And Jesus took the name the Word of God. The Word of God can be found in the Old Testamane only 4 times, see what the 4 times show.

They usually say that God "didn't really mean those things how he said them". I agree that it is scary for any Christian to find those things about God to be compliments.
If the Bible is indeed the "true and inspired word of God" and other attributes given as to why one should take it to be literal truth, then those accounts are definitely not meant any other way than how they are written. Something can't be a lie and the truth at the same time.

What do you think should be done with a person who has murdered and raped 20 children? Are you cruel when you say they should be put to death? And where does God support slavery? And where is this passages about keeping young girls for yourselves?

I am a Reform Jew. Reform Judaism teaches choice by knowledge - that is, once I have studied what the texts have to say, then I get to make a choice what I believe about it or how I was perform a commandment. That's my favorite thing about Reform Judaism - that I get to have a say in my belief structure.
Having said that, I personally believe that what is in the Bible is there to teach us something, and shouldn't necessarily be taken literally. For example, a few weeks ago in my Torah study class, we talked about the rules in the Jewish Scriptures (aka "Old Testament") for keeping slaves. Of course today we don't believe in slavery. So instead, we had to look at what the text had to say about slavery and how that can relate to us today. An interesting challenge, but an important one.
Just my opinion... hope it makes sense!

Taurah, Zaboor, and Injeel, were revealed on Prophets Moses, David, and Jesus (Peace and blessings of Almighty on all of them).
Last and Final testament Qura'n revealed on Last and Final Prophet of God Almighty, also confirms Taurah, Zaboor, and Injeel.
But unfortunately today's Bible does not match exactly to those true Holy Scriptures revealed on Moses, David, and Jesus (pbu them all).
Contradictions found in today’s Bible versions are due to Illegal intervention and manipulation of Human in Divine scripture. We cannot deny original Holy Scriptures.
Original Books and messages of Holy Prophets were all in support to each other. Messages given in those books and by Messengers are basically same with some evolutionary segments.
God Almighty was revealing messages in parts for the ease of human kind, without contradiction and differences.
All matters and discussions rotate arround one basic commandment, that is worship one true God. If we recognize this basic phisiphy every thing will be very clear and wide open for us to understand.
God of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus, and Muhammad (Peace and blessings of Almighty on all of them).
God Almighty, only Provider and Sustainer of every living and nonliving things in/on universes.

You don't get it.
The whole point of Jesus was to set new ground rules. That's why christians don't follow those anymore. I'm not a christian and even I know this.
As for the jews, most of them view those rules as archaic or "for a certain time and place", not necessarily fiting for modern times.
In addition, in both texts, the abrahamic God commands the ancient hebrews to do these things, not the modern hebrews or christians.
Seriously, I'm an agnostic and EVEN I know these things.

God is God no matter what you think of Him. Remember, all the things reported in the Bible are not acceptable behavior by God.
When you love God, you will understnd that He knows His business. He is in control. His word might not be easy to swallow, but it is His Word. I do not understand everything in His business, but I can run some errands for Him. I place my faith in His Word.
