[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m curious to know how Bible literalists and Jews reconcile with the slaughter of the Canaanites, the Amorites, those teenagers, and others who displeased God.

Some Christians just focus on the “new” covenant established by Jesus with the “God of Love.”

For the rest of you, is God a severe taskmaster and that’s OK? [/quote]

So Christians believe that God had a personality change?  One of the few things Saint Boethius, Saint Augustine and Saint Thomas Aquinas agreed upon is that nothing about God ever changes. One of the many joys of atheism is not having to reconcile this. [/quote]

That’s what Jesus’ new covenant was all about—a new relationship between God and man. The various saints/theologians wouldn’t deny this.

Signed, I read Augustine’s Confessions cover to cover, and other parts of his work, have you?[/quote]

Matthew 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them."

Signed, Matthew.[/quote]

It’s unfortunate you don’t know much about the New Testament. Jesus said these things even as he was abolishing dietary laws etc.

You also need to refer to this:

And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me." And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood. ~ Luke 22:19-20[/quote]
