Do you really belive that "Godless tribes" business. What is it further punishment of the Natives to put their children in residential schools where they were abused physically and sexually by reps of the Godly "tribes" christian evangelists. How do you explain that punishment with your line of thinking.

CC--Either you are being sarcastic again, or you don't know what you are talking about. Manifest Destiny had nothing to do with a permission or right from God. It was a political ploy to steal the land from the Indians, and nothing more. Had the cavalry not had such superior fire power, you being from Texas, might be speaking Comanche or Kiowa or a number of other tribal language native to Texas. If you believe that the gift from God to have Israel for the Jews, was just a political ploy, you are barking up the wrong tree by invading this thread. TD

CC,
I am not angry at this point however, it is possible in the future.
Joshua 8
4: And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in wait against the city, even behind the city: go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready:
5: And I, and all the people that are with me, will approach unto the city: and it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them,
6: (For they will come out after us) till we have drawn them from the city; for they will say
As you can see the people of Ai had come out against Israel before and who knows what they would do. God had a purpose IMO regarding the Israelites and the Messiah so they were lead and protected. These people were pretty barbarrack in those days. At least they did not have the high powered weapons we have today. Have you seen Dances with Wolves? One of my favorites but it is hard to watch these soldiers claim to be superior to the Indians as they were killing them.
Again I would say that the Jews just want a home and were not accept at all and after their experience they felt they had to fight or be destroyed literally.
Actually there a re many OT verses that command giving a corner of your fields to the poor and to being just and compassionate to all unless you were Joshua or Saul.
