Thanks for the clarification kathryn, appreciated. So what about this?
Pursue, kill, and completely destroy them, as I have commanded you," says the LORD (Jeremiah 50:21-22) Isn't that the word of god? Sure seems like it.
And someone else advised i complete my research with the New Testament and i'm always ready to follow advice offered in a polite educational manner.
So since i'm holding the good book let's see the new testament.
They disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. (Romans 1:29)
But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me (Luke 19:26)
It really seems to make no difference what book i pick up. I'm always instructed clearly to kill in the name of god.
