The short answer to your misdirected question is: NO. God has never WANTED to see children or anyone else stoned todeath. He has never had a NEED for to see shed blood of children in the home or the slain on the battle field.
WANT is the wrong question since he has not now or ever has he had such a WANT in ages past. Since God is now and always has been a merciful God it is obvious that according to his nature, I suspect that he would WANT to see life spared, since he is a life giving God. But a WANT or a HANKERING to see death of children or anyone else is not true to his nature...no not NOW or has it EVER been his nature to WANT such a horrible thing.
Again the answer is NO. He does not WANT to see the death of a child or does he WANT to see the death of a soldier.
Your question is greatly misdirected...far from its mark.

Is it just me or does this sound strange to any one else?
Okay, look at it here: Brother Strange said to me that God is still the same and blesses a believer when he partakes in war and when he kills his enemy. Brother Strange said that it was plainly the case since (he claims) there is no scriptures in the NT that say otherwise. Now he says that I am the one saying God is a "cruel fiend lusting for blood"? Really? I AM?? I am the one repeatedly saying that God is NOT FOR blood shed of this sort, and I am the one seeing blood here?
Brother Strange, my question is not misdirected. You just cannot answer it while still supporting your view. My question is based on what YOU SAID. I am only following YOUR REASONING. Also, in case you missed this bit of news;
Deuteronomy 21 is GOD’S WORD, not mine. The same God that said to fight physical wars in the Old Testament, which is what you first presented as evidence to me, is the same God that commanded
Deuteronomy 21. I knew you would not—and could not—answer
Deuteronomy 21 while keeping your belief intact. And, yes I did say, “YOUR belief,” because what you are writing here is definitely not based on God’s.
Come on Brother Strange,
make my day!
and answer this in context with what you first wrote. Elder, with all due respect, I am not the one changing things around here. You are.
