Hypocrites and Genocide

Latrivia do not hold your breath.

Bestboy there is a difference between potential life and existing life. A baby in the womb is potential life. Those 52 million babies were not living beings, so they cannot be killed just their potential has ended.

God gave those men, women, and children a chance at life. He gave them a chance to repent of their sins. He gave them a chance. What has a woman who has an abortion given her child? Even though these people sinned against God, He still gave them a chance. The majority of women who have abortions do it for selfish reasons. They put themselves before their child. They do not give their child any chance at all. If you condemn God for what you call genocide but He calls judgment of their sins, but have no problem with aborting the innocent, it's a pretense of virtue. 52 million babies have been killed since Roe vs Wade. Is this an adequate comparison?

"There is no such disagreement about whether those Jhvh commanded be the victims of genocide." But there is a disagreement. I say those people were not the victims of genocide, violent crimes committed against groups with the intent to destroy the existence of the group. They were the recipients of God's judgment of their sin against Him. There was no crime committed only judgment.

You do not dispute that Jhvh's intent was to destroy the existence of the group. That's genocide. You merely quibble over whether that particular genocide was criminal.

But you do agree with me: you acknowledge that Jhvh ordered the destruction of the existence of a group, which is genocide. In order to argue that Jhvh did not act improperly in so doing, you have conceded that he did in fact issue the order for genocide. Making the case, as you attempt, that it was not a crime for Jhvh to do so does not negate your acknowledgement that the deed was done.

Let me see if I understand. According to you, a woman has the right to kill her unwanted baby, but God does not have the right to destroy what He has created. That sounds like a double standard to me and hypocrisy. The woman has the right to choose to kill the most innocent of humans, but God does not have the right to destroy those who have been evil. So as far as you're concerned, kill the innocent but let the guilty go free. No wonder you think the Devil is good and God is bad. It's hard for me to take your cries for the Amalekites seriously when you have no qualms about mothers choosing to kill their unwanted babies. Can you tell me why you think what God did was worse than what women do today?

One other thing if you wanted to debate me all you had to do is ask.

How is it that you keep accusing me of not caring about those infants? Are you not the one that is actually arguing that those infants deserved to die? Would that not make you the one that does not care about those infants. I love how you dodged every question, what can I expect from someone that does not think for himself. Look it up for yourself, is that proof that you do not know the answer? It is okay to say you do not know, I will not look at you any differently. God makes himself look bad! So your position is God, the supreme moral authority, can kill us because he "owns" us. So if the woman and the man agreed to the abortion you would be okay with that?

That is the way it's suppose to be. Thank you for responding.

I know some want to call it genocide. I call it passing judgment.

You have not missed anything only Bestboy is confused.

My question really has to do with choice. How can one condemn God for choosing to destroy what He has created but is all right with a woman doing the same thing?

I don't think anyone says it is all right. It is a choice, and a quite painful one at that. It comes down to choice, and whether the government can tell you that you have no choice. A woman chooses to keep the baby, that is her choice. A woman chooses not to keep the baby, that is also her choice, as it should be. Education, and knowledge is the key if we ever want abortion to be no more. Not fighting about it, or making it a moral issue. Woman who have their choice taken away, will find a way, if they feel there is no hope or no options. If God finds abortion to be a sin, then he will judge in his own way.

If you believe God is a hypothetical force, there's no reason for you to compare the two.
