God led Moses to the promised land but when Joshua entered the promised land, he did not just say thanks for the land, he took it by force with the help of God. God's way is not always a peaceful one. The great flood is another example, where God killed a lot of people so he could start over. Even animals battle for territory. It's called survival of the fittest. This is to insure that only the strongest survive. It is natures way, man has just improved on the idea to the point of possible extinction. Would you turn the other cheek if it were your children being slautered?

Ok I am not going to get into a religious pissing debate because I am not religious. First of all to understand what happened in biblical history you need to understand who God is and why he told certain people at certain times what to do for a reason.
It is HIS land and he can do what he wants to do with it and as far as how the Joshua stuff went, look at history beyond the bible.
Yea this debating stuff can go on and never reach an end.
I learned over 50 years ago to seek the truth beyond the church denominational teaching and WHY they and where came to these beliefs. Also the doubters, atheist, etc. I was there myself at one time so I understand why they think the way they do.
Life is a journey on this Earth but just for a brief moment in time but understanding the bigger picture as like us ants looking up at the sky if they can.
If you get his so far, good.

You are correct. The only peace those types understand is, peace through the strength of the GOOD people.

Humans have reflexes, but not instincts.
Overwhelmingly, human behavior is learned by imitation or or instruction. Consider 2 topics where from evolutionary theory one would expect behavior to be be built in, but is not.
1) other higher primates do not to copulate unless raised in a social environment.
2) midwives must teach women how to nurse their young.
IMO if any complex behaviors were hard-wired, surely copulation and nursing would be among them.

You're the one that brought God into the picture. I wasn't debating anything except to question what you stated to be "Gods way".

Ok bro, state your thoughts on this as I was not debating but IF you want to question what I said then this needs to go off the main thread so not to clutter up the post.

The "give peace a chance" set usually fails to understand that it takes a war to get there.

Simple solution: Every person alive would live by the golden rule, there would be peace. Personal peace is found all around us in our daily lives, but it is up to each individual to determine what helps them to find peace.
