It is no big secret that God utilized the military of Old-Testament Israel to accomplish His own goals and to bring justice onto those who He deemed worthy. Are you insinuating that God was wrong? Granted His actions would not be deemed "politically correct" in this day and age, but that is rather irrelevant. I wonder if you're quoting God's intructions to the Israelites when you don't truly believe in God at all. (this doesn't seem valid to me) The other option is, you believe those intructions came from God but you're saying that He was wrong. (also not valid, at least if you believe in the God of the Bible) -- -=Elden=- http://www.moondog.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
