In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt. Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction. Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you. He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors. "The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him." (Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT)


Kill Nonbelievers
They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB)

Murder in the Bible
Two old testament books talking about one culture and its enemies in one single geographic area. Totally irrelevant to todays Christianity, and completely different from Muhammad's directive which is a basic tenant of the religion.

If it's irrelevant to Christianity, then why did God put it in His Bible?

Why do companies release updates to their technical manuals for their products and software? Why not just release one for the next 50 years?

Tenet, not tenant. Tenants rent apartments.

So I guess you've given up on showing where Christianity supports killing non-believers so you can focus on picking out iPhone auto-correct mistakes? How noble.

I grew up near a pig farm and did not object because of my religion but because of the hideous SMELL.

So Jehovah has undergone a change in character? Doesn't sound that eternal...

Have you been to a muslim country? I spent time in Islamabad before the Taliban sunk their teeth into the country, and as soon as you step off the plane, it smells like ass. Like unwashed ass.

I guess God changed his mind...proving he's not infallible, nor omniscient.
