He had no problem with slavery though...
Morality is subjective to to time and society you live in. What may have been moral yesterday is not necessarily moral today. What is immoral today may be moral tomorrow.
It is pure crap anyway. God directly commands the killing of children, multiple times. If we look at Jesus, he was fine with the Old Testament laws. The words of Jesus, according to Matthew 5:
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Of course, many Christians pretend that Jesus did not mean what he says there (and by all means, look it up in your favorite translation). But it is only pretend.
Additionally, Jesus does not say that children do not go to hell. Those who do not follow Jesus burn in hell forever and ever. There is o stated exception for children. That is much worse than merely killing people.
The words of Jesus as recorded in Mark 6:
10 And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.
11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
Tell me, what cities do not have children? It is just a lie to say that Jesus has a problem with killing children.
Even if none of that were the case, Jesus did not undo the past and make God not command the murder of children in the Old Testament. So it is just bullshit.
This is typical Christian bait and switch propaganda, telling you God and Jesus is love and goodness to sucker people in, and then, later on, one finds the real truth of how horrible God and Jesus are, as depicted in the Bible.
Rubbish. The result of selective reading and incomplete understanding...the very thing you accuse Christians of.
Children below the age of reason are not culpable for any personal sins. Therefore, what would they be accused of before God, hmmmm?
