Don't Listen To My Son

[Johnny Pneumatic]

Numbers 25:16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
25:17 Vex the Midianites, and smite them:
25:18 For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake.

Ha za! I found another bible contradiction that the SAB doesn't have noted.

[Richard G]

For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.


God judges the nations. He often times uses one nation to judge another.

I asked him about that and he told me he really didn't do that so much. He's very misunderstood I guess.

I suppose being omnipotent just isn't what it used to be in times past. If I could do anything I think I'd painlessly poof the people I don't like into dust. Or I'd Iever let them exist in the first place, yeah, that's more fitting of a God's abilities.

God in the OT is a completely different God than in the NT. The NT is supposed to be God's reconciliation with humanity, so we have changes that are deliberate reversals from OT behavior. The authors of the NT had ideas about God that often clash with the OT. It's the Plato to their Homer.
