So you don't condone the actions of Moses and Joshua as described in the Bible? Were they right or wrong to do what they did? You've already said they were right. This is completely irrelevant because Moses and Joshua were both mere devices used by God to exact judgment upon a wicked people. In this context, to judge them as right or wrong would be tantamount to judging the rightness of a destructive earthquake. God alone is the cause of the judgment. You must therefore judge Him. Are you torturing the language again? Exterminating a race of people is not genocide and saying what Moses and Joshua were right to do what they did is not condoning it? I am simply telling you the fact of Christian belief concerning the sovereignty of God Almighty. If you insist on calling what Moses and Joshua did "genocide", then to the Christian you are simply condemning the Almighty. It is this sort of puny arrogance that condemns the heathen. You have no excuse. You quite literally have condemned yourself. So any secular philosophical discussion of morality is a condemnation of God Almighty. That's silly. Of course you simply lie here and then dismiss your lies as if you are dismissing my position. You leftists are full of lies, Steven. The truth is nowhere in you. Like i said, you condone genocide committed by humans when you believe that genocide to be God ordained. I do no such thing. Leftists are just liars.
