The Bible says:Originally Posted by total relism
Deuteronomy 20:16-17
But of the cities of these people, which the Lord thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:
But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee

that is very good, it says so in many places, it even says to kill woman children and all living inside.
21 They devoted the city to the Lord and destroyed with the sword every living thing in it—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.
Joshua 6.21
so could you please know read my op?. The bible and conquest narrative is alittle more than a few passages, the meaning of witch will be reveled in a total reading..
a good start if you dont want to read all that would be to watch this debate

I think you will fast find, the bible and archaeology do not teach genocide during the conquest.

Re: responding to common objections to bible part 4
Technical error, TR.
You ask whether or not the genocide occurred. The answer is yes. Your attempt to justify this genocide does not alter the genocide taking place, and has nothing to do with it.
Learn to correlate your answers to your opening question. Otherwise I see a wall of F's should you ever attend higher education...

Re: responding to common objections to bible part 4
beat me to it.
a yes/no question just got turned into a justification speech because the answer is yes.

Re: responding to common objections to bible part 4
....and we all know what wonderful people those who justify genocide are, right?

Re: responding to common objections to bible part 4
it truly does not take long, but if you guys could stop assuming what i have written, than actually read under spoiler, you will see the genocide did not happen.
so to you HT
Learn to read before criticizing and responding to my opening post. Otherwise I see a wall of F's should you ever attend higher education. Imagine your teacher gives you book to read, than you read cover and falsely assume what book is about. Than write a report on your false assumption, that should get a f.

Re: responding to common objections to bible part 4
You attempts to "massage" the supposed biblical events so that they fall somewhere outside the definition of genocide do not impress me.
it is a sure sign of a weak position when a man starts pulling out semantic tricks.

Re: responding to common objections to bible part 4
Hold your sanctimonious tone, please. Here's what Sigurd wrote(my bolding):
To which you replied:To.9. God ordered genocide on the Canaanites? According to the Bible ... Yes.
You back this up by apparently going off on a tangent(in your OP) about how evil the Caanites were, which is completely and utterly irrelevant to the claim you objected to. If you feel Sigurd misrepresented your intent with the way he phrased his statement, you would point that out instead of objecting to it. By objecting to just its conclusion, you assert that the way it is phrased is correct.9-according to bible and archaeology..no, i have to disagree.
I, like almost everyone else on this board, already have my degree(some are still in the process of getting theirs). Unlike you. I'm no longer being graded - in fact I now grade the work of other students.
A side note on that - The last paper I graded before the summer break was "written" in the same style as your posts - it was the easiest 0 I have ever given in my life(but then again a 0 isn't a common thing). The assessment comment was also my quickest yet - a simple comment of "Breach of academic honesty policy".
