lets summaries your question
jayendecastro about canaanite insident ano ba dahilan nito
why god ordered this?
SITUATION:
The canaanite corrupted the land of israel they sacrificed thousands of their children on the temple of their god
OBJECT:
God was not concerned with ethnicity
he is concern on sin and evil
kung babasahin mo sa kabuuan god threatened israelite more than other nations for disobedience, he even ordered to kill thousands israelites Exodus 32:27
(kaya yong sinasabi ng mangmang na si homer sa last talakayan namin noon israel tribal god ang god ng bible ay malayo sa katotohanan)
but the question still remains, why this drastic measure? its the certain prescription
PRESCRIPTION AND SPECIFIC COMMANDMEND :
yan mga binabanggit nyo ay part ng history, it was not commanded for all people but only for the jewish people, and no where you can find in the bible that god commanded that we must kill each other by the basis of ethnicity
those are specific time and certain situation in history, God's ordered against canaanites has a goOd reason, to stop the corruption of the land
and that is a part of the promise of God, to give the promised land to the jewish people - at ang mga napaalis na tribe noon ay mga corrupt they performed horrible things na tulad ng mga canaanite, hindi sila napalayas ng walang matibay na dahilan
tulad pag ikaw ay land owner at ang mga nangungupahan sa lupain mo ay gumagawa ng krimen, u must take 2 drastic actions
(1) paalisin mo sila sa lupain mo para paupahan sa karapat dapat
(2) isumbong sila sa authoridad sa kanilang masamang gawain sa iyong lupain
in this context god is the owner so he has the authority to evict them and to punish them for their crimes
subukan mo pumunta sa bansang nagpapatupad ng death penalty at magsunog ka dun ng mga bata ewan ko lang kung hindi ka halutan ng bitay
and laslty hindi nyo naman dapat pinakikialaman ito
kayo mga atheist ay walang conception of morality, good and evil to ground
relative nga ang morality sabi ni homer - so killing and eating baby ay hindi masama sa inyo
then may guts pa kayo mga atheists na i question ang God on the ground of morality na wala nga kayo pwedi pagbasihan at kunsepto nyan
