    You are basically saying that:
    1. God's plans are sometimes not perfect.
    2. God is liable to change his laws depending on the time of application.

    It is not about US applying standards, it is about GOD using double standards. At certain time killing was OK, at others - not that much.

    Here's what Bible says:

    Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me

    Do show me where "continuing fathers sins" is mentioned. One doesn't have to continue anything. If your great-grandfather hated God, the latter will visit his anger upon you no matter what you think.

    Just don't start the context thing.

    ccc 370 In no way is God in man's image. He is neither man nor woman. God is pure spirit in which there is no place for the difference between the sexes.
    A contradiction. How can a spirit have an image? Image of an object or a person is always something visible. Being in visible form a human must by default have an image of a man or a woman.
