Why do Jews and Christians see Moses' acts as justified and Hitler's as evil?

Question

Specifically talking about genocide here.

poseidenneptune:

As Hitler wasn't born until 1889 he's hardly going to be in the bible, is he?

Are you a cretin or what?

Anyway, to expand:

The point is this: How can genocide be seen as a morally acceptabel action? Moses said God commanded it, Hitler said pretty much the same thing. The only difference is Hitler lost.

Is it really moral to turn a blind eye to acts of horrendous violence just because someone says God made them do it?

EDIT:

For those accusing me of not reading the scriptures, I suggest you turn your attention to Numbers Chapter 31.

It'll do for a start anyway.

EDIT:

So it's perfectly permissible to kill lots of people as long as God - who we have no evidence exists - says so?

As for demonic possession, seriously, get a grip.

Parable? LOLno. How about Judges then?

Answer 1

I read a website called jewsagainstzionism some time back and wondered a similar thing. These guys had the opinion that Hitler was a punishment from God for the Jews transgressions. So if Hitler was a punishment from God how could he be bad? Not that I support that, but how is it justified?

I guess it is no different than watching Football. You cheer and get excite when your team scores, but boo and get disgusted when the other team scores. But in broader scope both teams are just playing football and scoring touchdowns.

Answer 2

What many don't understand, even christians is that as quickly as god called for the destruction of complete societies, even the girls and toddlers, those have been the seed of Cain. they're the sons of devil that are nevertheless living interior the international in the present day. the main extreme God did no longer pick people, which God created, DNA diluted with the help of Lucifer. They have been the Demigods describe in so-called Mythology. One basically has to verify the e book of Enoch, which has been hidden from the plenty with the help of the right echelons of religion, to confuse and save people blind to the fact. Religions have been created with the help of guy to confuse guy from the authentic beginning of human existence. Make no mistake, God is actual, so are Lucifer's Demons and that they are working by way of mankind to break this earth the place they'd grow to be the savior of the international and set up Lucifers kingdom interior the NWO. God does not love everybody in this international, it fairly is the main important lie perpetrated on mankind in the present day. He loves those that save on together with his commandments all others he hates via fact the God they worship is devil. The earth belongs to devil for now. take care of your innovations it fairly is the place the conflict floor lays.

The genocide ordered by God in the OT invasion of Palestine had a specific purpose: to clear the "Promised Land" if demon-worshippers so that the Monotheistic Nation of Isreal could be established.

This Nation had ONE purpose: bringing the Messiah to the world. Isreal HAD to exist as a separate, monotheistic nation, with its own culture, religion and identity. They could not just "move in" to an already-populated area and "blend in" to the surrounding culture. That would have made the Messiah project impossible. For the same reason, the Isrealites had already endured 400-odd years of slavery in Egypt; the cultural separation helped to distinguish them from the Egyptian polytheistic culture, and unified them into a separate people. The need for cultural and religious separation also resulted in the Jewish deportation to Bablyon under Nebuccadnezzer; their alienation helped them establish their national identity as a people, and cured them of idolatry.

For this, and a few other reasons (including ritual prostitution of young children, both male and female, and human sacrifice), the pagan nations populating the Promised Land had to be either driven out or eliminated. One set of natives came up with an alternate solution to "move or die": they tricked the Isrealites into signing a treaty with them of non-agression, knowing they would end up as servants in the end. They chose to live as slaves instead of being slaughtered, surrendering their native religion in the process.

In all of these actions, Moses (and after him, Joshua and the Judges) were merely acting as God's instruments of judgement. They had been given these orders specifically by God, not taken it upon themselves to kill indiscriminately. Some captives were allowed to join the Isrealite community, btw. Not everybody had to die.

Hitler, on the other hand, committed his genocide as a political move. His country was still struggling to rebuild itself after WW1. Hitler's rise to power was strengthened by his ability to tap into his nation's frustration at the floundering economy, and finding a nearby scapegoat: the Jews and the Gypsies. With something (someone) to point their frustration at, the German people found an outlet for their frustration, and a unifying cause: the superiority of the German Race.

Hitler's "ethnic cleansing" was not for the purposes of clearing away demon worshippers to pave the way for a Messiah (the messiah had already come). It certainly wasn't ordered by God, for Hitler wasn't really a Christian (he was an apostate Catholic--he had quit the Church). It was a political manipulation of his own making, motivated by his own ambition and hatred.

Answer 4

Did Moses Kill Jews? I don't remember that in Exodus.
Mose was acting as an agent of the one true God. The only being capable of pure, fair justice. Moses didn't do anything to anyone, he was just the messenger.Who was Hitler working for?

Answer 5

Firstly, the story of moses in a parable

Secondly, in the story moses didn't actually kill anybody, the rains did that. Unless he some rain making technology he can't really be blamed for it.

Answer 6

i think u raise a point very clear.jesus and moses where acting by orders of god,hitler killed for personal glory,i like hitler dont care what ppl say about him and i aint a nazi but i have respect for him and in my mind he went down in history whether some see him a killer or not,wars aint blood free

Answer 7

...who been teaching you....? Rudolph Hess...? genocide is the "murder" of masses of people... The Scripture says, "do no murder"... God gave Moses the Law and it did not say... God would not kill... God can kill... and He does.

Hitler was a drug-addicted megalomaniac who was most likely demon possessed

Answer 8

The Christians won and since winners get to write the "history"...

Answer 9

The word of God vs the rantings of a mad-man. You decide.

Answer 10

The God of the Old Testament plays favorites with the Jews. He does not care if eveyrbody else dies. God himself "hardened Pharoah's heart".
