I don’t like it, but so it would seem.
A smiling baby, who has never offended anybody. You really think God ordered their murder?
I keep finding things like that in the old testament. I never see anything of that sort of activity done at Jesus behest. Seems like the more brutal people want to be, like justifying slavery, the shooting of that Abortionist today, etc,, the more likely they are to go into the old testament. Jesus our lord leaves em with little cover for such monstrous behavior.
The most people can get there is that, “Jesus never spoke specifically about that”. Theres a lesson in there i think,,focus on Jesus. “no man comes to the father but through me”.
