aawe , c'mon vinny... play nice and start answering my questions.

Numbers 31:7-18

New Living Translation (NLT)

7 They attacked Midian as the Lord had commanded Moses, and they killed all the men. 8 All five of the Midianite kings—Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba—died in the battle. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword.

9 Then the Israelite army captured the Midianite women and children and seized their cattle and flocks and all their wealth as plunder. 10 They burned all the towns and villages where the Midianites had lived. 11 After they had gathered the plunder and captives, both people and animals, 12 they brought them all to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and to the whole community of Israel, which was camped on the plains of Moab beside the Jordan River, across from Jericho. 13 Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the community went to meet them outside the camp. 14 But Moses was furious with all the generals and captains[a] who had returned from the battle.

15 “Why have you let all the women live?” he demanded. 16 “These are the very ones who followed Balaam’s advice and caused the people of Israel to rebel against the Lord at Mount Peor. They are the ones who caused the plague to strike the Lord’s people. 17 So kill all the boys and all the women who have had intercourse with a man. 18 Only the young girls who are virgins may live; you may keep them for yourselves.

Thank you for finally giving me a concise answer to my question.

2 Kings 2:23-24 NAB
From there Elisha went up to Bethel. While he was on his way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him. "Go up baldhead," they shouted, "go up baldhead!" The prophet turned and saw them, and he cursed them in the name of the Lord. Then two shebears came out of the woods and tore forty two of the children to pieces.

2 Samuel 6:3-7
New International Version (NIV)
3 They set the ark of God on a new cart and brought it from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, sons of Abinadab, were guiding the new cart 4 with the ark of God on it,[a] and Ahio was walking in front of it. 5 David and all Israel were celebrating with all their might before the Lord, with castanets,[b] harps, lyres, timbrels, sistrums and cymbals.

6 When they came to the threshing floor of Nakon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark of God, because the oxen stumbled. 7 The Lord’s anger burned against Uzzah because of his irreverent act; therefore God struck him down, and he died there beside the ark of God.


Deuteronomy 17:12
New International Version (NIV)
12 Anyone who shows contempt for the judge or for the priest who stands ministering there to the Lord your God is to be put to death. You must purge the evil from Israel.


2 Kings 10:18-27
New International Version (NIV)
Servants of Baal Killed
18 Then Jehu brought all the people together and said to them, “Ahab served Baal a little; Jehu will serve him much. 19 Now summon all the prophets of Baal, all his servants and all his priests. See that no one is missing, because I am going to hold a great sacrifice for Baal. Anyone who fails to come will no longer live.” But Jehu was acting deceptively in order to destroy the servants of Baal.

20 Jehu said, “Call an assembly in honor of Baal.” So they proclaimed it. 21 Then he sent word throughout Israel, and all the servants of Baal came; not one stayed away. They crowded into the temple of Baal until it was full from one end to the other. 22 And Jehu said to the keeper of the wardrobe, “Bring robes for all the servants of Baal.” So he brought out robes for them.

23 Then Jehu and Jehonadab son of Rekab went into the temple of Baal. Jehu said to the servants of Baal, “Look around and see that no one who serves the Lord is here with you—only servants of Baal.” 24 So they went in to make sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had posted eighty men outside with this warning: “If one of you lets any of the men I am placing in your hands escape, it will be your life for his life.”

25 As soon as Jehu had finished making the burnt offering, he ordered the guards and officers: “Go in and kill them; let no one escape.” So they cut them down with the sword. The guards and officers threw the bodies out and then entered the inner shrine of the temple of Baal. 26 They brought the sacred stone out of the temple of Baal and burned it. 27 They demolished the sacred stone of Baal and tore down the temple of Baal, and people have used it for a latrine to this day.

Now there's a nice utterance of some good ol' Christian machismo.

f**k awesome!
That will learn you for sassing your elder.

Me thinks Vinny never understood the question. There were no Christians in the Old Testament Vin... just sinners.

Foolish men do many foolish things and the Vatican is a collection of men. They are simply religious men with little understanding of science and make plenty of human error.

I think Albert Einstein expressed it best:
"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."

Two sides of the same coin my friend.

Ok, let's put some probes on that and see what we get on the meter:

Mmmmm pretty weak ...


"Just sinners" ... and GOD, remember the main character? He's that guy who gave the land of Israel to the Jews. That is the context this discussion was referring to.

That God of the old testament sure sounds like a cruel psychopath in some of those scriptures.

Albert Einstein was obviously not a fundamentalist, I agree with Einstein's quote, so I'm sure you did not understand the point I was making.

The bible was written by men who claim it to be The Word Of The Lord, I do not believe them. ... maybe you know of a scientist who can prove that it is the Word Of God? Does that deny the existence of a higher being? No. I'm just not interested in belonging to your particular cult.

mmmmmmmm what has science done for us today kids?












bow down and worship your new god

Science, like religion, is often misused with disastrous consequences by foolish men ... I certainly won't worship your foolishness.
