Salt I'm confused.... I understood you as saying ritual cleaning was killing other people becuase they are evil (namely the Canaanites)..... This is not in the new testament.?.? When Christ fullfilled the law we went from fighting our enemies to turning the other cheek.
Matt 5:38-46
38 "You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' 39 But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. 40 If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also. 41 And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. 42 Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away.
43 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
NKJV
Basicaly Jesus tuaght us to be servants not masters, humble not proud, and Self less not selfish....
Ok I'm not Defending Geniside.... I've asked many questions to God in my life some have been answered. But I do know this I will not let someoneelse interpretation of the Bible, or any other writing shake my faith in God. But then again He has prooved Himself time and time again to me. Especially when I was trying to break all ties with Him. Sounds like Jeff may be goin through the phase I was goin through, or much worse. Meaning You never believed and are trying your best not to believe. I agree Christians are not suppost to force their faith on anyone, BUT it is commanded that we share it. And for some groups to tell us we are not allowed to are just as bad as the Christians who do force it on others.......
Anyways back to my origianl point of geniside...... again I'm not defending it, becuase I agree that killing is wrong, but I also believe that its justified in protecting(if their is no other choice), or If someone is just soooo bad he cannot be rehabilited (namely a murderer,serial killers, pedifiles,rapest, or anything along those lines or worse in severity), or just did something soooo terrible (Or was capable and willing) that the world would be much beter off without them (Namely Hitler, Stalin, Hussien, or any other world leader, or even a nation, or group that would do such a thing). But the problem with the last is hind sight is Twenty Twenty so we never knew these guys where that bad until after the fact. And as Far as a nation or Group how do you know all in them are capable of such bad acts unless you are all knowing? So noe of us would be able to make such a terrible call..... Anywasy onces again I'm rambling back to my original question....
My question is: was the bombing of Japan in WWII (Nuclear) Geniside..... If so How many more, or less people do you think might have died had The U.S. not done this? Does it make it right????? I guess we should start with why where we fighting in the 1st place...... Was it becuase Japan attacked pearl..... Or was it becuase we stopped selling and buying important goods to with Japan...... or Does it just all come down to mans own selfishness and greed? You cant tell me man is not selfish and Greedy... Look at history and look at the way things are; in this world.... One catch phrase that sticks out is the rich keep gettin richer and the poor keep gettin poorer. Look at how corrupt pharmisudical Companies have gotten, even our own FDA, or the oil companies, Big business, or Giant Unions...... China, Europe, U.S., and the muslim worlds. All want to be bigger and baddest, or the Super Power. WHY?????????
LOL anyways Sorry that was a bit more then I was wanting to type. And I jump around quite a bit again. But these are the questions I have when I look around. Some of these can point to God, some of these may not. It depeneds on our knowledge of things both in the Physical World, and The spiritual World. LOL It also sepends on perspective....Namely How do you see the cup? Half full or half empty?
