Re: The believe at the time ...
Are you for real? I am beginning to wonder.
​
Then you must acknowledge the "literal" meaning in this inspired blessed psalm:
​
quote:
37:9 How blessed will be the one who grabs your babies and smashes them on a rock!
​
This sounds more like bad hip-hop lyrics than god inspired prose.
​
Or maybe you can explain the literal meaning behind this notable "scripture" from Numbers.
​
quote:
31:17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
​
31:18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

Re: I meant what I said
Whoa... context is irrelevant - these are immoral statements. The context of child rape and killing babies are unimportant. You sound like Ted Bundy's defense lawyer telling the jury they need to understand the context.

But they ought to tell you something about the fate of unrepentant sinners in the hands of God.
​
No but they are telling about the nature of people who blinding believe these things are from god.

Re: I meant what I said
If there is any blasphemy here it is believing that these "scriptures" are from god.
