OK, the conquering thing, fine. What about God's mercy shown to folks such as Moses (barred from the promised land because of one mistake) and Uzzah (killed on the spot, for touching the ark to keep it from falling)?
Even in the NT, wasn't it God that killed Ananias and Sapphira? New believers, slipped up once. Dead. Did God decide he had to nip this kind of thing in the bud? Funny, it didn't seem to work very well, or not for long, anyway. And it's been a while since God's policy of "you lie - you die" has been in effect. (Never mind the eternal death thing. I mean dropping dead, here and now.)
