Passover is quickly approaching. Can't wait until Wednesday night (biblical observed calendar).
Gods' festivals, 5 days off from work. Much needed R&R.
Quoting: mopar28m So you are looking forward to celebrating the murder of innocents in the passover?
You don't have any problem with a story that wrongly alleges that GOD sent the angel of death to kill all the firstborn of Egypt?
You don't have a problem with a story where the Pharoah was prepared to let the Israelites leave, and yet GOD allegedly kept hardening Pharoah's heart so Pharoah couldn't let the people leave?
Can you for a second think of all the heartbreak families suffered in this appalling story when their innocent children were murdered?
But the murder didn't stop with children. It was
ALL the firstborn, or was it?
Exodus 12:12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord.BUT wait the ANGEL of Death got it wrong. The angel only killed the fiorstborn Egytians and Cattle? Not all beasts?
Exodus 12:29 And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.How could a loving GOD come up with such a terrible event?
Perhaps people should read the story in detail, noting how GOD allegedly kept hardening Pharaoah's heart, and how GOD allegedly killed all the innocents based on that heart hardening.
How can anyone or any group of people believe and celebrate this offensive story?
Would we be offended if some crazies had a meal to celebrate the holocaust? Of course we would it would be OUTRAGEOUS!
WAKE UP!
