Explain then how God is just in commanding the infanticide of innocent babies

Jewish mythology (my personal take).

Oh, so the OT Scriptures are "Jewish mythology".

In part yes. There is no evidence of any mass Exodus from Egypt, or that Hebrews ever lived in Egypt. The son of Ramses II, whose army was drowned by the fleeing Hebrews, conquered Caanan and found Israelites living peacefully next door to them (and decided to defeat them too -- but he never took any revenge on the people who allegedly humiliated his father as the Jewish mythology would have us believe).

We also know today that Kind David's vast empire was but a coupel of small villages. Mythology was very much part of the old biblical world, MLG.

Now, I am speaking about this privately. I am sure the Curch would disagree with me. Nonetheless, the facts simply don't match. The Bible is froth with many mythological stories and events and apparitions. Not everything in the OT is God's message fully revealed by Christ. The Bible is after all a Holy Spirit inspired work of many authors (some pretending to be one) but written in human language and human cultural surroundings. It is inspired by written by human hands and human minds and perceptions. In addition to that, it has been corrupted by various copies and translations. Do you claim the translations and the translators to be inspired as well? The KJV authors admit they were not and admitted to their own mistakes, numbering a few hundred. If the Bible is inerrant than the Bible is God. Do you worship the Bible?
