Comment: – Mass murders ordered, committed, or approved by GOD OF THE BIBLE.
What happened to: ‘Thou shalt not kill’ and ‘Thou shalt not steal’? Is God of the Bible
moral by definition alone? The following is a list of God of the Bible murders. Can genocide be justified?
When I started on this topic I didn’t expect so many verses as evidence that the God of the Bible is a murderer.
With all the following verses the PLAIN TRUTH is that the God of the Bible is not a God
of Love; more likely a God of Hate. The verses show plainly God of the Bible is a bully.
Reading these verses, anyone that doesn’t see immorality in the things that the God of the
Bible did, must be morally bankrupt himself.
Keep in mind, as you read these verses that many Christians believe that Jesus is the God of the Bible – the god of the Old Testament. Surely no one would worship such a God! One of the most embarrassing topics for Bible believers.
God orders people to murder. What kind of God is this? What kind of moral example is this?
Another reason the Bible could not be a message from the God of the Universe. It can
only be the description of a primitive society with primitive beliefs.
