Really... I see you cherry pick details out of people's posts the same way you do the scriptures. Go back and read that statement in context....
When you make a post as large as this one I'm quoting, and making so many points simultaneously, it should come as no surprise that I don't address everything you said.
It wasn't a large post. Rather, it seems you have a very limited attention span - given the above. If you want to discuss theology, then put in the effort. When it's apparent that you aren't even bothering to read people's responses - it simply kills any desire to continue the conversation.
Your first point is that the bible must be read and considered in its entirety with verses in context. Well duh. OK. That's a given. I don't even understand why that point need be established.
It's necessary to say that since you continue to cherry picks scripture (and now even my posts) to present a false and dishonest representation of the text.
It doesn't matter if you take the whole bible and any verse under discussion in context or not, the meaning and intent is obvious.
That is simply an ignorant statement. No - the intent and meaning of a verse taken in isolation are not obvious and can easily be manipulated. We need look no further than your post which I am replying to now, and how you quoted "Justice and Judgement are the same" out of context.
For example, here in 1 Samuel chapter 15 it says......"Now go and attack Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and do not spare them. But kill both man and woman, infant and nursing child, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’ ”
OK. That is the point. NOw, go read the full chapter in context, and you can see that it claims God is speaking to Saul through the prophet Samuel, and commanding him and the army to go completely slaughter everything. In other words, go commit genocide, an atrocity even worse than what the Nazi's did to the Jews in WWII because the Nazi's didn't go about killing all the animals.
A random reference - but not the least bit of an issue. This was judgement against a sinful people - no different than Sodom and Gomorrah. This isn't a hate inspired act - this is an act of Justice against an unrepentant, sinful people. As for animals - we nonchalantly kill animals all the time for food and for sport. A false outrage over them doing it here is silly. Furthermore, by destroying it completely - vs taking what is valuable - underscores it as an act of justice vs looting for personal gain.
You contrast this with your claim that God is the same in the OT and the NT and it doesn't work. The NT calls God the God of Love and Peace. The God of love and Peace does not call people to go slaughter innocent children, and all people and animals. That's the exact opposite of what a "God of Love and Peace" would do.
God engages in war in both the OT and NT, judges and condemns in both the OT and NT, forgives and shows mercy in both the OT and NT, and upholds the Law in both the OT and NT, etc. The only difference is that the NT follows Christ and the early church - a small period of time where the people in question were mostly following God's will. If the NT covered the same amount of time as the OT, there'd be a lot more condemnation of the church - as with Israel in the OT. You continue to blatantly ignore scriptures that explicitly contradict your silly position - despite all your talk of needing to take all individual verses into account.
Acts 5:1-11 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. 2 With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet. 3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? 4 Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.” 5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. 6 Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him. 7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 Peter asked her, “Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?” “Yes,” she said, “that is the price.” 9 Peter said to her, “How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.” 10 At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband. 11 Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events.
NOw, on to your first point. That judgement and justice are the same thing. They are not. Justice is right behavior. Proper action. Just. To do well. To be moral, and righteous is what a just person is. Slaughtering innocent beings is not just or right. It is an evil, it is a wrong. If you think it's right, then you are no different from Muslim Terrorists who slaughter innocent people in the name of their "God." In fact, one could argue the same "God" of the bible as they believe they serve the God of Abraham just as Christians do.
You are here simply demonstrating my point that you cherry-pick - in this case not even scripture, but my own post. You have no clue what I actually stated because you didn't bother to read it - the same way you have no clue what the scriptures are actually saying because you aren't trying to understand them, but only seeking to undermine them in your ignorance.
