Still wondering what you think I have accused God of.
Technically, you evaded accusing God. You've only argued that the victors wrote the story, using God as a literary device to justify their actions. Now, I take issue with that because the OT doesn't show Israel very favorably. Why would a nation depict itself as God's contender? Makes little sense to me. Next, Jesus had a high regard for the OT and spoke of it as the Word of God. So... your position makes Jesus become suspect and casts doubt on His believability.

You mean when I asked which was more likely, God really gave those orders or the victors claim He did to justify the slaughter? Well, all I did there was ask, but you have apparently guessed correctly my own opinion of the answer, so yes, guilty as charged.

I suspect you believe that the NT Jesus is exaggerated? Just a good teacher or rebel rabbi who was executed and spotted in a diner somewhere sitting next to Elvis? lol

Yes, I do suspect that Jesus is misquoted and His actions inaccurately recorded, at least in some cases. If the canon had been chosen differently, a very different picture would have been given.

So...how do we know Jesus wasn't just a looney or a rebel rabbi?
