O'siyo world,
As you have noticed i do speak a lot on the "God of Israel" and how he seems to enjoy war and conflict. As you also know i am a believer that there are many "Gods" ,Zeus, Apollo, Thor,Allah, Jehovah, Poseidon, hundreds of Hindu and Sikh "Gods". The Creator made the "Gods", the "Gods" created man, with out permission.

Here is an example i will use from the bible,  King David of Israel said, " God is teaching my hands for warfare, and my arms have pressed down a bow of copper." -Psalm 18:34.
The Apostle Paul wrote: " Though we walk in the flesh, we do not wage warfare according to what we are in the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly." Corinthians 10:3,4.

Yes, as you see, its a contradiction as usual, it makes we wonder if "God" had different sets of rules for each culture, or they used the name " GOD" to justify their actions. The latter makes more sense as we still do it today, a human trait to wage war in "Gods" name.
"Ancient Israel had "God" given borders and was surrounded by those who wished them gone for what ever reason. "God" commanded his people to defend their lands , so they did, even help from "God" to win a few victories." Judges 11:32,33. (Yes i know the bible, two versions, and the Koran, which never changes very well.)
I do have respect for real Christians who have no borders to hide behind , who are in all lands spreading the word of their "God", as i said in my studies before, i believe these "Gods" are different. And its true, in their words, that Israel had a human king whose throne was in Jerusalem.
The true Christian has chosen Jesus, may peace be upon him, to be their leader , the Son of the creator, now a powerful spirit whose throne is in heaven. Jesus himself, may peace be upon him, said," My kingdom is no part of this world, my attendants,(followers), would have fought that i should not be delivered up to the Jews. But as it is my kingdom is not from this source." John 18:36.

For About 1500 years or so the nation of Israel enjoyed a special relationship with their 'God", one based really on a covenant or contract ,exodus 19:5, mediated through the genocidal maniac Moses. Ten commandments, worship, high moral standards, lol, and true law. This didn't last long, they became unfaithful to their "God" , even killing his prophets.

Finally he sent his son , one last chance for HIS chosen people, makes me wonder where he was when the Jews were slaves in Egypt for decades, to busy fighting the other "Gods". Born as one of them, the Jews thought that "God" would sent them a king to bring down the Roman rule, funny didn't the Jews escape from Egypt from something like this, with a human leader, Moses.  They wholly rejected Jesus, son of a carpenter, may peace be upon him, and let him be murdered by there own captors, Because he didn't roll in on a golden chariot, trumpets blazing. So their "God" rejected them bringing down his protection for them, "God" then had his son establish Christianity , not tied down by borders and to spread.

"In every nation the man that fears "God" and works righteousness is acceptable to him" from the Jewish Apostle Peter-Acts 10:35
Him being the Creator, The "God" underneath him, worshipful of the Creator of the beginnings has seen that all rightful faiths are Good, that we should be left alone to follow the Path he created for us , not to be led astray by false ministries and puppet prophets. His following is inside you not a building. Look at the post on DAVID VS. ?, that's a man who is finding his way. You can too.Challenge your faith!!!

Humble to the Creator, suspicious of the "Gods",
Wandering Crow.
