Quote:Many people try to find inconsistencies in the bible but don't take into account the context, culture, and original language. This is my counter.
Oh, chippy I knew you'd pull out the "context" argument eventually.
Here's a little test. Deuteronomy 2 30-34. I read this and say "your god is a murdering sack of shit."
Quote:30But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day.
31And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land.
32Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.
33And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.
34And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:
You put it into whatever context you like and show where he isn't.
By the way, it's your precious KJV courtesy of Bible Gateway.com so you don't have to go looking for misquotations from Evil Bible.
