so as: a million. diverse time references. God wasn't sturdy for all back interior the time he became rushing them against one yet another; he's now. 2. same ingredient. diverse testaments have God doing diverse stuff; Jesus explains this. 3. i do no longer understand the context of that one. Are Jacob and Heli diverse translations of an identical call? the two, Luke admits he's purely recounting a supposition. 4. "i'm one with the international; the international is larger than I" may well be an earthly equivalent of this fact; it ought to be argued that semantically the 1st ought to be tightened somewhat. 5. it rather is diverse meanings of "awareness". interior an identical way, i will cleave to an thought in an extremely diverse thank you to how I cleave the rock of lack of expertise. . do you choose remark or solutions? greater importantly, most of the Bible is a metaphor. the ingredient with Luke i think of might have been human errors on Luke's (or Matthew's) area, yet different than for that each and each of those issues became attempting to place across meaning better than narrative.

There were the no law and order instigators of the violence and there was the the law enforcement against them that caused the violence and deserved the death penalty. Gen.6:13; 19:24;

Because they like to make religious people feel bad.
The Bible does not condone violence; rather it simply gives an honest picture of the failings and follies of human nature.
Atheists hate having a mirror held up to them which says, in essence, this, but for the grace of God and good upbringing, would be you.
===edit===
Oh, I see. By "violence" you mean the fact that God judges sin, and punishes the sinner.
Why would an amoral criminal be constantly nit-picking at every hint of police brutality? Hum. Hypocrisy?
Those who criticize and judge others the most are usually the ones with the most to hide. They criticize others in order to draw attention away from themselves.

Pride. Duh!
Obviously, it is easy to be "moral" when you get to make up your own morals as you go, without any regards to how anyone else thinks.
It is like playing a game where you are also the referee. You will always change the rules so that you can win, and the other guy always loses.
If you get to invent your own morals, then you will simply take whatever you are naturally doing already, and simply declare it to be "moral" (that way you don't have to change -- but everyone else does), and you will simply declare what everyone else is doing as "immoral" (so that you can feel superior).

I don't think there is any true Christian who will deny there is wars etc in the Bible . And yes God does take life of sinners sometimes using nations like Israel he creates and destroys and he has the right to do so. If you read scripture in full and not just pick out verses to attack Christians like many atheists do like Richard Dawkins you will see that God gives many chances and also shows mercy but he is a God of justice and has to deal with sin. But he showed his love and desire to build a bridge with mankind through Jesus Christ and know we all have a chance to repent and gain forgiveness and eternal life it is up to you .

There is nothing like a reformed smoker to point out that smoking is bad for you, eh? Atheists need to nitpick, I suppose. In the New Testament Jesus spelled it out plainly, reducing hundreds of daily prayers/rituals to two: love G-d with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself. The Old Testament is simply preamble, yet they love to cite all that smiting (which is so passe).

Excellent point. *Star* for you!
I wish some of the Christians would actually answer the question, though...
