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 was 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.) |
Big difference between a destroying Israeli army going out to slay the Amalikites, and GOD Himself pulling your plug.
Rom 12:17-21
"Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, AVENGE NOT YOURSELF, BUT RATHER GIVE PLACE UNTO WRATH: for it is written, VEGEANCE IS MINE; I WILL REPAY, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good."
Timmy if you never grow up then Peter Pan will take you to Never Never Land, where all Lost Boys go.
