GOD's Warning!

[Ingodwetrust]

Numbers 14:10-12

But the whole assembly talked about stoning them. Then the glory of the LORD appeared at the Tent of Meeting to all the Israelites. The LORD said to Moses, "How long will these people treat me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in me, in spite of all the miraculous signs I have performed among them? I will strike them down with a plague and destroy them, but I will make you into a nation greater and stronger than they."

Read Numbers further:

31:7 And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.      
"As the Lord commanded Moses, they slew all the males."
Did the Israelites kill every male in Midian?  
31:8 And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.  
31:9 And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.     They took the women and children captives, and burnt all their cities.  
31:10 And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire.  
31:11 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts.  
31:12 And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho.  
31:13 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.  
31:14 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.    
 (31:14-18)
"Have ye saved all the women alive?"
Moses was angry with the officers saying: "Have ye saved all the women alive?
Was Moses meek?
What the Bible says rape and abortion
Have ye saved all the women alive?  
31:15 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?  
31:16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.  
31:17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.        
Moses tells the Israelites to kill every male and all the non-virgin females, but to keep the virgins for themselves.
Is it wrong to commit adultery?  
31:18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

I love christians that quote the bible to make a point.  That is circular logic in the extreme and makes you wonder if something in communion wine destroys brain cells.

I was telling Ingodwetrust to read numbers further. That passage to me kinda makes god look pretty evil.
