I believe the Bible hints that the people killed in the Great Flood were part-Nephillim. I believe it was Pharaoh who 'genocided' (?) the Hebrew boys because he didn't like them, and it was also Pharaoh who put the Hebrews into slavery, having them beat, and taking away their straw to make bricks (forcing them to find straw themselves, and still make the same amount). God politely had Noah go to Pharaoah and ask him to let the people go. Pharaoh denied God at least ten times. That forced God to do the punishment where all firstborn -- man and animal -- who did not have the blood of a lamb on their door -- to die.

Source: Genesis and Exodus

The Biblical laws applied to everyone. If you were a slave, they taught you how to act. If you found yourselves with slaves, they taught you what to do. They weren't condoning slavery. The Bible never encourages rebellion, which, even against slavemasters, is wrong (unless God explicitly allows it, which he did in the case of the Exodus).


He couldn't have stopped all this by I don't know... using his powers to make the Pharaoh let them all go and make Ice Cream for them? No? Ok

Judges in Idaho and Nevada have been knocking down laws left and right under the guise of the laws being "unconstituional" when the very body that decides that has not spoken.

This is an ideological move. Last year, the Court ruled that state attorneys general could simply refuse to defend state laws in favor of traditional marriage, thereby allowing the executive branch of state government to completely destroy law it doesn’t like. The Court furthermore set the predicate for future same-sex marriage rulings in United States v. Windsor, in which, as Scalia summarized, the Court declared “anyone opposed to same-sex marriage an enemy of human decency.”

Instead of upholding their duty to decide the constitutionality of laws, the Supreme court uses a political and ideological move and redirects the authority to the Appeals courts and the district courts. Judges are single-handedly using their "power" to strike down laws that have been upheld as constituional because of their personal ideological vendettas. They have no concern for the people in the states(WHO WERE IN THE MAJORITY) who voted against gay marriage and succeeded in 11 additional states.

Now judges will be going outside of their bounds and striking down laws. How dissipointing, first the Supreme Court abandoning it's duty to atleast give a ruling on this and now the forced acceptance of Gay marriage.

You know, I'm beginning to think the LGBT's motto is "tolerance and love-..If you agree with us, and if you don't you're a homophobe."

It's sad. This is sad. Our legislature needs to stand up and demand the SCOTUS do something.

yes, it needs to push for legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide, because there's no reason to deny equal rights.

Uhm...Nephillim, Whoreihim, Philistine, Penishim, I don't care. People. That God killed cause he didn't like.
Genocided is not a word, but I have to use it because I don't know/don't think there is a past tense of to genocide.

Uhm...Yes, Pharaoh enslaved and killed the Hebrews. God made Moses go talk to him, Pharaoh was like no sweetheart you're not leaving(also God hardened his heart, IDK why), so God killed innocent Egyptian boys.
If that happens today, that's a crime against humanity. Not that Pharaoh is innocent, mind you, but neither is God.

They were condoning slavery. By not condemning slavery, you're condoning it. They even told the slaves to accept it and to behave. Had the US not outlawed slavery, it would be practicing/condoning it. Yes?

Speaking as a Christian who in no way endorses any of those acts, there are multiple verses of the Bible which condone slavery, and several verses of the OT in which God orders the Hebrews to commit acts of genocide.


Sources needed so they can be refuted.


Genocide:

Joshua commanded the people, “Shout! For the LORD has given you the city! The city and all that is in it are to be devoted to the LORD. Only Rahab the prostitute and all who are with her in her house shall be spared, because she hid the spies we sent. But keep away from the devoted things, so that you will not bring about your own destruction by taking any of them. Otherwise you will make the camp of Israel liable to destruction and bring trouble on it. All the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron are sacred to the LORD and must go into his treasury.” When the trumpets sounded, the people shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the people gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed; so every man charged straight in, and they took the city. They devoted the city to the LORD and destroyed with the sword every living thing in it—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys. (Joshua 6: 16-20)

When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations—the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you- and when the LORD your God has delivered them over to you and you have defeated them, then you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy (Deut 7:1-3).

Basic human rights are more valuable than political freedom. The courts are simply preventing an ignorant majority from reverting to the Bronze Age.

True. It was practiced until the practice was officially outlawed in God's laws, around the time of the New Testament.

Interesting. Did God change his mind, or did he always not like it? Why didn't he say so? He seemed fine and content with David and Solomon. Is God fickle? I thought he was infallible and all-knowing.

Well considering that this was a court ruling, I don't know why you would be ashamed of fellow bigots? They didn't vote for this. Much as they did not vote for interracial marriage, but had that forced down their throats too, the poor darlings.
