Deuteronomy 25 19 Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget it. <<Once again. This is a command directly from God, applicable to a specific circumstance and not some general command applicable to all non-Jews anywhere. Secondly, research exactly who Amalek was and research the circumstance to which you so ignorantly refer here.>> It's a command from God to blot out the seed of Amalek for all time. (This all time genocide command is also believed by Jewish scholars to apply to 6 other nations of Caanan.) The Bible tells us that King David was still doing battle with Amalek, and the Maimonides quote i offered makes it clear that he believed the seed of Amalek persisted in his time (about 900 years ago). Some fundamentalist Jews equate the Palestinians with Amalek. All this to show that the Bible can easily be read to condone genocide. <<Maimonides was not God>> You too are not God. So why is your understanding of the Bible any more credible than his, or than the Church Fathers? Weren't they closer to the original language and intent than whomever's commentary you prefer? Steve
