What you are doing is debating scripture. I am looking for opportunities to grow.
Me too.
Hello Xzins,
As someone who has invested effort in understanding Hebrew scripture, I thought it might be pertinent to request your views on a question I had asked earlier on this thread, for which I got no answers.
When David had a child borne to him by his partner out of an affair, the deity of your adopted religion kills it with a week-long illness as punishment. How do you resolve the moral contradiction of the child having to pay with its life for a ‘sin’ it did not commit? What did the child suffer for?
Additionally, the Amalakite infants were slaughtered by Saul and his men, obeying orders from the same deity. What is the moral argument for such a genocide?
Thanks in advance,
JCB.
