Depends on which part of the Bible.
Leviticus is part of the Bible and it's all a question of killing murdering burning alive and shit like that.
I'd say it's rather hainous part of the book xD
What does violence have to do with hate? God ordered the work to be done, and the Israelites simply carried it out. Just because the Israelites worked hard at it doesn't mean they had any hate. Many people work hard at work and enjoy it.
LoooooooooooooooooooL!
It's not because you replaced the words "killing massive amount of people, torturing and burning alive some people for no logical reason" by the word "work" that it's not both sadism and horrible hate.
Come on. God was doing those nations a favor by having the Israelites kill them. Here's what I mean.
The people of those nations did not believe in God. They were never going to believe in God and be saved from the punishment for their sins.
So, when an Israelite killed a young heathen guy, the heathen was saved from all the sins that he was going to commit. If he died at 20-y-o rather than 50-y-o, that's 30 years of sinning that he would never have to pay for in Hell.
God is giving you opportunity to turn to Him for forgiveness so that you can be saved. But you are so obstinately against Him, that He is probably simply going to allow you to live to a ripe old age, because you wanted more sins to pay for in Hell for all eternity.
So god is a fucking crazy dictator asking everyone to kneel down before him.
And there is a difference in your quantity of sin? I thought that as long as you died without believing in God/Jesus/whatever Chtulu you were to burn in Hell for eternity!
But there is actually a system of rate? Like one year of sin = 15 years in hell?
God built things so that you can receive glory and goodness for kneeling down before Him. How does this work?
God is the best there is. He is great and wonderful beyond understanding. When you recognize this and praise Him, you get to partake of some of the Goodness and Glory that He is. If you don't do it, you actually detract from the glory that He voluntarily gave you out of love for you.
A human soul is designed to last forever. Destruction of it will take forever. This means that whatever level of punishment a person receives in Hell, will last forever.
It doesn't match with what you said earlier.
How was it good to kill the sinners 30 years before their natural death if they're going to burn in hell for eternity no matter the time they sinned?
It's just barabaric nonsense then, cause they will just suffer from hell earlier!
