If you knew that, then why are you trying portray a historical event (or emotions of people) as a "teaching/command from God"?
Because, Finn, I am saying that's what Biblioidoloters do.
HOWEVER, let's discuss the idea of stoning offenders to death since that IS given as a command from God.

The first one didn't work out for you, so you’re gonna try another one?

Stoning is no longer a part of God's law, so meaningless in this discussion.

The first one DID work out for me, but Finn's uncharacteristic explanation is close enough to the truth to show that the usual suspects are off-base in their claims for verbal inspiration for the WHOLE book to let it go and move on to another of the examples that were requested AND one that was mentioned earlier which does not meet the "exception" Finn notes;
Thank you for caring, please continue to pay attention.
I'm not equating it. Please make an effort to understand what people post.
You made the transference from Israel who felt "injustice demanded action" to that of God's wrathful vengeance, while keeping yourself squeaky clean in the process. Now, that's funny! LMBO
It was the Israelites cry for revenge, not Gods command. Israelis were humans who felt injustice demanded action.
The Bible teaches this about desiring revenge: "“Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: ‘It is mine to avenge; I will repay,’ says the Lord.”
The OT teaches us thing about God, things about human nature and history of nation of Israel. This Psalm is about human nature and history of Israel.
You have completely misunderstood the Psalm in question. Rely more on the Spirit of God, and less on Tentmaker.Com and things will starting make sense.
It is a straw man that the scriptures are being rejected when ONLY the contradictory and inconsistent parts are rejected. The people who are being questioned here are those who see the ENTIRE Bible as God's inspired word (instead of Jesus) and consider it infallible and inerrant and protected from error by God Himself. The question that poses is why would God allow them to attribute such evil commands to Him???

Finn, I think Nate just gave you some props. Hard to tell amongst the jibberish.
