Happy is the one who takes your babies and smashes them against the rocks!

someone posted a link a few days back that had verses about the lord will cause you to eat your own children and not share the flesh with your surviving children.

something i would never wish even against my worst enemy

I think it was Constantine who we have to thank for grafting those Levite stories of anger, jealousy, killing and destruction on to the message of the Christos. Still, most of the christians like those parts better anyway. Much easier for them to relate to and practice.

there are the New Testament Christians, like me, that only follow the Gospels op, you get a 5 star from me to prove the point

what a beautiful, heartwarming religion

You can't just pick and choose...you can't be a Christian and disregard the OT! The OT is part of/is the Bible.

Psa 137:9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.


The destruction of Babylon being foreseen as a sure destruction (thou art to be destroyed), it is spoken of, 1. As a just destruction. She shall be paid in her own coin: “Thou shalt be served as thou hast served us, as barbarously used by the destroyers as we have been by thee,” See Rev_18:6. Let not those expect to find mercy who, when they had power, did not show mercy. 2. As an utter destruction. The very little ones of Babylon, when it is taken by storm, and all in it are put to the sword, shall be dashed to pieces by the enraged and merciless conqueror.

Above was Matthew Henry..

All of that was something the prophets said would happen to Israel if they left God. And it did happen to them when their enemies attacked them.

That wasn't something God ordered, just the prophets stating fact.

How does this reflect negatively against Christians?

so if i a puny human is above wishing that on my worst enemy surely God would be

You do realize these things were in regards to siege right?

The Creator warned Israel that if they did not love their neighbors and act correctly that Israel would come under the same punishment of the people who were thrown out of the land.

The "Happy people" were the ones who invaded Israel and were their enemies.

Context, context, context.

Pulling out one "verse" to attack with is very...........Christian like.

You might want to read the "Gasp" entire thing in context.

This is taken out of context. Big surprise there, but here are the last 3 verses of Psalm 137:

7Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.

8O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.

9Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

The chapter is talking about the enemies of God's people sacking Jerusalem and killing their people.

Jesus didnt hand us a bible to follow, He established a New Covenant, In my opinionHe should be our bible, his words his life
I dont believe or follow the bible.

Whoa! What about loving your enemy and turning the other cheek and doing good to those who hate you? So, if you want to destroy your enemies you turn to the OT, and if you feel lovey-dovey you turn to the NT? Seems schizophrenic.

LOL wtf?

Let's look at this in context. It's actually has layered meanings.

8 Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction,
happy is the one who repays you
according to what you have done to us.
9 Happy is the one who seizes your infants
and dashes them against the rocks.

Daughter Babylon is Mystery Babylon, which are the occult rulers of this world, but, in context to this verse, the whole system under which we live.

Their infants, to whom this verse is referring, are their Satanic generational occultic bloodline, a/k/a, the Nephilim bloodline, but it's more so a generic reference to the evil and corrupt system as a whole when it says to seize the infants and "dash them against the rocks." Which, by the way, "rocks" is another veiled reference.

Though we, as Christians, are not called to go out and commit murder on a people, since that would go against one of the commandments, we are, however, called to pray for the Kingdom of God to come on Earth as it is in Heaven and to pray for the destruction of Mystery Babylon.

But we know that all creation groans for the revealing of the Sons of God. Even the Earth's creatures can't wait until the Mystery Babylon is destroyed!

They should be loving their enemies, shouldn't they?

Actually, you are insulting Jewish practices, holidays, people and beliefs.

Wrong! Your 'God's Chosen People' are wishing this on their enemy (Babylon)for being mistreated by them!

Context, context, context!

precisely

Baby smashing?

Think how boring it would be for christians to only have the teachings of love your neighbor, feed the poor, heal the sick, treat all as equals, and do unto others as you would be done by. Where is the hate and vengeance, the judgment and self righteous violence in that?

You couldn't ask them to actually follow something so difficult.

a baby is an enemy of no one least of all God.

yes exactly...Christ came to change those thoughts with...you ready for it.....

LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF

Kinda nullifies all that other stuff. :)

Do you know who Mystery Babylon is? Your so-called 'Gods Chosen People'! Babylon is reference to Empire. Mystery, as in hidden. Which is what the International Jewish Cabal is - a 'hidden' global Evil empire that controls the world from behind the scenes! And the 'God's Chosen People' is their greatest lie - its the complete opposite - Satan's Spawn!

When your on, your on.

But Christ said he did not come to change the law and that the 'God' of the OT is in him and he in him!
