<<The text is clear in two places, one of which Steven conveniently omits, that God Himself commanded this invasion..>>
If you look at my original post on this passage to Srex, you'll see i quoted the entire passage which makes you, i guess, a liar. Why are you rightests so dishonest?
Message 20291848
And secondly, this part shows Moses was thinking on his feet according to his understanding of God's will:
14 Moses was angry with the officers of the army-the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds-who returned from the battle.
15 "Have you allowed all the women to live?" he asked them. 16 "They were the ones who followed Balaam's advice and were the means of turning the Israelites away from the LORD in what happened at Peor, so that a plague struck the LORD's people. 17 Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, 18 but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.
Moses made the call to execute the women and children prisoners, except for the little virgin girls whom they split up with the rest of the booty.
And this of course is what i referred to, and quoted.
Must you lie to make your case? Just a defect of the right?
<< If this God does not exist, then He may be safely ignored. But if He does exist, we ignore His wishes at our certain peril. I believe He exists, so I make it my business to hear what He is saying.>>
Not only do you believe he exists, you believe you've correctly divined his will. These are two leaps of faith you make at your own peril.
