Who says you can't use the Bible to interpret the Bible?
You?
So, if we go into the discussion of evolution, you wouldn't use what information you have on evolution to defend it?
Guess where you get that from? Books and teachers.
Logic will tell you that. What he was doing was to use circular reasoning.
Because you can't defend against the Word of God, doesn't mean we shouldn't use it. It is about Him after all.
What evils of the bible?...oh..forgot...your stuck in the Old Testament, using the same old tired argument that God's a big meanie, because He was trying to set up a nation, to be the example of how he wants mankind to live. And in the process of making said nation, wars a happened and some people got killed...that happens in war you know.
Don't be silly. The Bible is clearly not the word of God. With hundreds of self contradictions, bad science and worse morals it would be blasphemy to make that claim.
but you see, for every nation God beat, he gave them a chance to repent and turn to Him. Some of these people you defend so much...which I don't think you have a clue to who they were and the things they were doing to even get God mad at them...weren't angels. Many were depraved, child sacrificing, pedophiles, and womanizers that walked the earth. Sacrificing to there false gods, Molech and many others that required child sacrifices and complete control over the people.
And you trust the Bible with these claims? Please, you need to think more carefully.
God didn't want that type of depravity around, in or related to His people. He even punished them when they took up the practices of the people they conquered.
Learn the history of the people conquered and you'll know why they were.
God's grace and mercy did go out to them. They just did what you are doing...shook their puny little hands at Him and said, we don't want you, we don't believe in you and go away. So He did, He took away His grace and His mercy and then removed them.
Actually you are the one that needs to learn more history. Not just of the enemies of the ancient Hebrews, but of the Hebrews themselves. Their idea of one God developed over time, and there is even evidence that they were not innocent of child sacrifice themselves. People have always told false tales of their enemies to justify their actions. Believing something just because it is in the Bible tends to make those people rather gullible.
