Reading the Bible from a military prespective

Has anyone been watching the "Battles BC" series?  It makes all those heroes from the Old Testement seem worse than Osama Bin Laden.   

For instance:  Joshua takes over Jericho which has little to no chance against him in the first place.  They murder every man, woman and child.  Makes you wonder why Christianity is viewed as a peaceful religion.

They didn't murder every man, woman and child in Jericho. They saved a prostitute.

Okay, so they saved a hooker.  But only because she was a traitor to her own people.

There's a lesson in this children. Being a traitor is good. And being a hooker isn't necessarily bad either.

Lol.  Sig'd.

The only people who think Christianity is the religion of peace are the brainwashed Christians.

Because that is about jews. Are you slow now? Or do you just like your arguments to not make sense?

Ailing economy?
Jews.

Bureaucratic corruption?
Jews.

Discrepancies in the Bible?
Jews.

There are some things that just can't be explained. For everything else, there's anti-Semitism.

I am just getting annoyed that he is ignoring the direct connection between the Jews in the bible and the Christians. Christians are Jews who follow the teaching of Jesus Christ. He is acting like they are as different as Hinduism and Buddhism. You can't have be Christin and ignore its Jewish roots. okay you can but it doesn't make much sense.

Trolling and posting nonsense in serious forums will lead to a ban. Next offense gets you 2 day ban.

The actions of jews are not necessarily correct, just as the actions of christians are not necessarily correct. The bible was written by jews who obviously glorify their ancestors no matter how immoral their actions were. Therefore holding christians accountable for these actions is entirely irrelevant.

The maker of this game is obviously warped and does not understand the christian faith, obviously jesus would condemn this game and what it represents, and a christian is by definition a follower of christ, so these games are non representative of the christian faith. Perhaps it is a representation of those who masquerade under the name of christ, but that only shows how far a religion can be warped by picking and choosing of biblical passages.

Raist, do you go to church?  Do they not celebrate the historical figures from the Old Testament?  Moses, David, Joshua, and even Abraham who was going to sacrafice his own child because he believed God wanted him too!?  Jews aren't the only ones who praise these people.  What about your Catholic saints?  Like, St. Patrick.  This man went on a murdering rampage all in the name of "God" and gets sainthood.

Also, I wasn't trying to argue anything.  I was only bringing up a discussion I found interesting. 

David was probably the worst, there is one page in the bible where it starts to list all his military slaughters then just says something like 'And David killed everybody'

Modern Churches still venerate these monsters to this day as Moonlit said.

I read on the bible that when the ends comes the moon will be covered by blood
 :-[Could that possibly happen in the near future..

I guess it might, if we build a giant spray gun, fill it with blood and aim steadily.

Did you not read what I wrote? The people that wrote the Bible glorified their ancestors. Jesus would not have approved. People today glorify their ancestors because it is in the bible. It does not make it christian. Please try reading next time.

I don't care what some christians believe.

  Like, St. Patrick.  This man went on a murdering rampage all in the name of "God" and gets sainthood.

Murdering rampages is a long and proud tradition of the church.  It's a founding tenet.

You guys are stoopid. Raist's church are the only real Christians. Durr.

There are extremists in every religion. I know of no religion including Christianity that is founded on violence, but almost every religion is used for violence at some point. Christianity is considered peaceful, yet the KKK hangs black people. Islam is almost completely peaceful, yet there was that September 11th incident. Media and the churches decide who is 'evil' and convince the sheep of the nation to believe it.

Perhaps saying that Christianity is founded on murder was completely incorrect.  However, I don't think anyone can say how it was truly founded.  I'm sure that story is lost in time.  I mean, I know how they say it was founded, but I give the Abraham or genesis stories as much credit as Noah's arc.

It was founded on a murder...

My church? Hardly. I just think it's odd to be debating against "christianity" then use things christ was obviously against.

If we were talking about the Humane Society, could I refute that by saying "the humane society of America is a radical group that resorts to terrorism?" They share a name.

lolwut

The point is, like all self-proclaimed Christians, you choose the parts that appeal to you and discard the rest.

Choose the parts of what exactly? A bible written and compiled after the death of the man I call my savior and follow? If I was a catholic then I would agree, I do pick and choose. I am not a catholic, I follow the teachings of jesus according to their meaning.

I really don't see why educated people try to equate the bible to christianity.
