Israel Genocide? Or humans replacing the Giants?
The belief that Israel was out to commit genocide against 'innocent nations" is a false visualization of the war against the Giants and those nations allied with them. In Deuteronomy 2 we get a glimpse of humans replacing the giants they were the children of Esau, the Moabites, the Ammonites and the Hebrews.
On they're way to conquer, God warned the Jews concerning Esau "Meddle not with them, for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession." And how did Esau obtained their possession? t"As he did to (for) the children of Esau, which dwelt in Se'ir, when he destroyed the Horims (giants) from before them; and they (Esau) SUCCEEDED THEM, AND DWELT IN THEIR PLACE EVEN UNTO THIS DAY." The Moabites' replaced the Emims (Giants). The Ammonites displaced the Zamzummims. We see that Adamite peoples were displacing the Nephilim. The Israelis sought to destroy the Nephilim and those nations allied with them which mingled with these giants. This had nothing whatsoever to do with genocide against "innocent nations" or "nations with a different culture" this was a war to displace the Nephilim and those nations that mingled with them. Critics never mention this like those media folks that accuse God of genocide (like Bill Maher). Theres a just reason behind God's judgements....always remember that. Peace. |

When the Roman emperor Trajan killed 500,000 Jews in Palestine in the early part of the 2nd century, in your opinion, were the Jewish babies who he killed innocent or guilty? If they were innocent, why didn't God protect them? If they were guilty, what were they guilty of? |

Also innocents will die in this world just as Jesus, just as the prophets, just as the Apostles, just as those Christian believers.....but they go home to God while the wicked do not...physical death as Jesus said is not true death. Get it right man, |

Regardless of my position, any other skeptic would be within his rights to ask you to produce evidence that the book of Deuteronomy is historically accurate. You must not be aware that a large part of the Old Testament cannot be verified historically and archaeologically. Why should anyone believe that the book of Deuteronomy is not a fairy tale? All that you have are copies of copies of copies of the originals. |

I love it when Christians start talking about mythological creatures. Unless the Bible is being confusingly symbolic again.

In Judeo-Christian mythology, were not the "giants" destroyed by the flood?
