Ok....and? Jeordam Send a noteboard - 23/05/2013 10:36:55 PM

You're referencing plenty of specific instances...not a blanket statement on how the Jews were supposed to interact with the rest of humanity.

Do you truly understand the things of the Bible. God was telling His people, His chosen people, that He would not tolerate any idoltry. There was to be no worshiping of other gods. There was to be no practicing of other religions. And this may come as a shocker, but all faiths are not equal. God was making this abundantly clear...there was to be no worshiping of false gods.

You will also notice that the langauge of the passage you are speaking is directed to the jews and where they were living. It said nothing about going out and slaughtering people outright who didn't worship Jehovah. In fact, there's quite the contrary.... I can think of a few well known individuals who were not jews, and didn't initially worship Jehovah, who ended up in the lineage of Jesus.
