What about the Druze?

LMAO! A long time ago, I started a thread in Spirituality with the OP specifically discussing Numbers 31.

I suggest you read it and then rethink your "these are not enemies historically, but allies from the very beginning, and so they remain. " line.

EDIT: "17 Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man intimately. 18 ...[text shortened]... ut all the girls who have not known man intimately, spare for yourselves. 19"

Your kind of folks.

^ This is what a Biblical quote looks like. I've never seen Raj EVER quote the Bible.

Why do I need to comment about that.
I commented on what God advised the Jews to do 4000 years ago.
I also commented what Muslims have done in these times.

My comment on ISIS is that they should all be executed for their crimes.

The Israelites claimed 4000 years ago that an anthromorphic God told them to do things that were unquestionably morally horrendous.

ISIS claims now that an anthromorphic God tells them to do the same morally horrendous things.

I don't believe either and neither should anyone else.

@Rajk999 said
The OT, particularly the Pentatuech [first 5 books] which I quoted is the authority on what God told the Jews to do. THE JEWS only. Christians are under the doctrine of Christ, whose teachings supercede the OT and even cancels some of the OT teachings.

ISIS follow Islam. Is Islam following their God ?

Good, I thought so.

Are you suggesting that modern Jews should be sexually enslaving captured virgins? They are JEWS after all.

@AThousandYoung said
Islam means literally "submission to the will of the God of Abraham". As seen in the OT the will of the God of Abraham is for victorious armies to subject the women they capture in battle to forced marriage i.e. sexual slavery.

Jesus did not come to abolish the Law but to fulfill it. Matthew 5:17-19

The fact that you quote Matt 5 [before Jesus's death], without explanation shows a lack of understanding, because that was explained by Paul and the Apostles after the death of Christ. Things changed.

Its hilarious watching people try to equate the OT with Islam.

When are you going to start quoting the Bible like you said?

Now we discover that you think anything Jesus said before he died can be ignored because you claim Paul said so?!

Please, elaborate.

I have no interest in a discussion on what people should or should not do.

I disucss what has acutally happened.

You carry on.

I do not believe any one should be doing that now in these times. All I did was to quote the bible [apparently ATY is blind], where God said how to treat captured women. Never said to do it now.

Islam is doing worse than that now in these times.

That is a blatant lie because you discuss what you think Arabs should not do all the time and you invoke millenia old prophecies and the Bible regularly- except you never actually QUOTE the prophecies in question.

When are you going to start actually quoting the Bible like you said?

I'm not blind. You just don't know how to properly quote the Bible. You paraphrase and imply for rhetorical effect but you always avoid directly quoting the source material.

@Rajk999 said
In the early days of Moses, the Midianites encouraged the Jews to sin, ie worship idols, have sexual interractions contrary to Gods laws. As nations they were close if one group could have influenced the other to sin ie they lived close to each other, unlike the descendents of Jacob and the descendents of Esau, who had very little to do with each other.

But I take your point. They were clearly not on good terms when God told Moses to kill them.

^ Raj do you think this counts as a Biblical quote? Because it isn't.

Lol ... I have been quoting the bible here for years to the point where people get tired of reading the bible.

2nd to last post on Page 3 of this thread. Show me where you have quoted the bible recently anywhere.

Show what is not 'proper' about that quote.

Never said that was a quote.

@Rajk999 said
Maybe this and maybe that. All we can do now, 4 thousand years after, is speculate and rely on what the lifestyle and divine instructions were at that time.

Here is God's instruction to the Jews on the taking of female prisoners of war. Apparently, you have to WAIT ONE MONTH. Then you must MARRY THEM FIRST. Clearly that removes the possibility of rape.

[i]When thou ...[text shortened]... retty sure that the Quran and Haddith does no such thing. If it does please provide some reference.

There we go. You do know how to quote.

Your interpretation of the quote is absolutely bonkers.

Are you f*ing serious?

If I kidnap your daughter, lock her in my basement for a month, shave her head and then forcibly marry her, it's NOT RAPE?! You are insane.

A prisoner of war is not a kidnap victim.

I quoted the Bible on this page and you responded to it. Remember this?

The fact that you quote Matt

I may be blind but you have the memory of a goldfish.
