Condoned! Not condones. Why keep pretending you don't know that English has a present tense and a past tense?

I think you're the one with the comprehension problem. Does the 6th Commandment forbid murder? Or did it once forbid murder long ago in the past?

The Bible condones genocide, so do you. Those statements are simple and true. Both of you condone genocide because there is at least one specific genocide you both approve of. That's how the English language works.

Number six of the ten commandments.

If the sixth Commandment forbids the Israelites from committing genocide, how is it they did commit genocide centuries later? Did they break the commandment? If not how can you possibly argue the commandment forbids genocide?

Do you condemn Saul and Samuel for committing genocide against Amalek?

Do you condemn Moses for his murder of women and children prisoners in Numbers 31?

How is something that happened thousands of years ago relevant to today?


Ducking the question? I guess i don't blame you.

It's relevant because genocide and the murder of women and children prisoners ought to be condemned by decent people. But in these cases, you can't do it. For you these crimes were just and righteous. Naturally you try to change the subject. I get it.
