One of the great lies is that the Bible preaches to be meek. In fact, protecting yourself is a key notion and essential.
Let me clarify. When I say no call to violence, is no call to violence that I know of to force people to believe in God. Maybe ot has that, but I've never been very well versed in that.
FYI I'm an atheist. But I do respect the heritage that brought us here and the truths that lie within.
Well there was that one time God killed the first born children in Egypt. I guess you could call that retribution though, but that gets muddy when you consider that God hardened the heart of the pharaoh.
I honestly can’t recall if there’s much violence in the New Testament that is much like the old though. I don’t think it’s nearly as bad as Islam.
These are awful verses. I don't think there's a similar call for violence in the Bible (or anything else for that matter).
The Amalekites would disagree with you on that assumption that the Bible is free of violence.
Had to look that up.
Seems like retribution to me.
