Exodus 6:20 Amram took Jochebed his father’s sister for his wife. She bore him Aaron and Moses (and Miriam). KJV
Now, this is shocking! Moses is credited to have written the Torah / Pentateuch (the first 5 books of the Bible).
Jochebed
Leviticus 18:12 God commanded: You shall not have sex with your father's sister. Torah & Catholic & KJV
If Moses wrote Leviticus, - then Moses did not "honor his father and mother" - when he exposed their sin of incest. The Biblical God commanded against and forbid this specific sexual union in Leviticus 18:12.
If God does NOT change and God condemned Moses' father - aunt incest, why was Moses selected as God's favored hero?
Were you ever taught in Sunday School or during a church service that Moses, another of God’s chosen leaders and models, was also a product of incest? Who would have “thunk” it?
Actually, Miriam, Moses' and Aaron's sister is not listed as being born in Exodus 6:20. Rabbis claim that women were considered irrelevant and equivalent to chattel.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton: "The Bible and the Church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of women's emancipation."
Did you know that God’s hero, Moses, was also a product of incest? If you had sex with your father's sister - that is incest. Incest, again, produced God's perfect choice of a perfect hero. How can God's guidance of incest dare to be illegal in the United States today?
Exodus 11:4 God murdered all the first-born Egyptian babies ...
God's Killing of Egypt's First-Born
An academic question:
Did God do all the evil things to Egypt or did Moses? No Satan nor Devil is mentioned, so, it had to be either our favorite Biblical God or just our inventive and creative con-man, Moses.
Not initially included here was "and God killed all of Egypt's first-born animals" so not to dilute the impact of God murdering all of Egypt's first-born, human babies. What did each of those first-born human babies or those first-born animals do to deserve the Biblical God's murdering them?
Exodus 8:18-19 So that you may know that I am God right here on Earth I will make this distinction between My people and your people. Catholic. KJV = Exodus 8:22-23
Note: God is inflicting all these plagues and doing all this murdering just to let everybody know who is God around here - and - God does discriminate.
Exodus 24:6-8 Moses spills blood on altars and people ...
Some of God's "perfect" heroes worship their "perfect" God in a gross and bloody manner.
Exodus 31:18 God gave Moses two tablets of stone written by the finger of God.
God Gives Moses Two "Finger-Written" Tablets
Exodus 32:1-5 (Meanwhile): The Israeli people asked Aaron to make a God for them. Aaron replied: Have your wives, sons and daughters take off their gold earrings and bring them to me. Aaron accepted their offerings, made them into a golden-calf, and an altar.
Exodus 32:7-14 (God goes ballistic again and said): Now Moses, don't try to stop Me when I unleash My wrath to destroy them. (Disobeying God) Moses began to plead (to make God stop): Egypt will say You took us out with evil intention, to kill us in the country, to wipe us off the face of the Earth. (God), withdraw Your anger and refrain from doing evil to Your people. Moses made God refrain from doing the evil He planned for His people.
Wow! God ordered Moses not to stop God. Moses disobeys God - and lives. And God obeys Moses!
Ah - God will get even with Moses later.
Exodus 32:19 Moses, who just calmed down angry God, became so angry himself, that he threw down and destroyed God's finger-written sacred tablets and they broke into pieces.
Exodus 32:27-28 Moses Levi ordered all the sons of Levi to slay their own family, friends and neighbors; Moses murdered about 3,000 of their own relatives, God's Own chosen.
Moses, with God's consent, murders about 3,000 of his own "God-chosen" people.
Numbers 11:11-15 Moses said to God: Why are You treating me so badly? Don't You like me anymore? Why do You place such a burden on me? Was I the woman who was pregnant with this nation in my belly? Did I give birth to them? Where can I get enough meat to give all these people? I can't be responsible for this entire nation. It's too hard for me. If You are going to do this to me, do me a favor and kill me.
Moses whines, bitches and gripes at God and lives! God must prove to have favorites - as long as they serve Him - on His terms.
Numbers 16:28 Moses claims that he does the Lord’s work; not his own.
Hummm. "Don't judge me - I was just following orders." Could this be the beginning of a future trend? What a perfect Biblical model! The Nuremberg war-crime trials were full of this excuse.
Contrary to Christian propaganda, Adolf Hitler was a Christian (Catholic). Hitler often invoked God in his speeches to the German sheeple. If you can get the masses to worship a false authority (God), an assumed authority (like Hitler) can easily step in. Believers are programmed and are just waiting "for a sign" to zealously serve some assumed authority.

Numbers 21:33-35 God ordered Moses to do to King Og as he had done to others. Moses struck down the King's sons and all his people until none were left and took possession of his land.
God gave His "chosen people" nothing. God ordered Moses to murder all the landowners, their wives and their children so to steal their land.
In Numbers 25:11-17 Phinehas, by murdering Kazbi (Cozbi) and Zimri, turned God’s jealous wrath away from the Israelites. God then ordered Moses to murder the Midianites.
Back in Genesis 25, Abraham married Keturah and she had 6 sons. One son was named Midian. God ordered Moses to attack and kill Midianites, Abraham's offspring.
Numbers 31:14-18 Moses was angry at the Generals and Captains of the army and asked: Why have you kept all these women alive? Now, kill every male-child as well as every woman who has had sex with a man. But, the young girls who have not had sex with a man, you may keep alive for yourselves. God's army killed every male child and the soldiers took 32,000 girls who were still virgins for themselves.
Moses is a documented mass-murderer of women and children! In your value system, how do you like Moses? Are you afraid to judge God's chosen heroes?
Deuteronomy 2:34 Moses led more mass murdering of women and children.
Bart Floyd, a friend, said: It doesn't seem like I'm reading the Holy Bible. How could God or Moses do this? It seems more like I'm reading an Encyclopedia of mass-murders.
That is an astute and bold observation, Sir Bart Floyd.
Deuteronomy 3:2-7 (Moses said): God delivered Og and we murdered 60 cities of men, women and children until none remained. We took all the livestock and booty for ourselves.
Moses is a crazy man - and his God is even more insane. "Thou shalt not kill" is certainly not holding up. Whatcha think? The Bible makes it seem righteously justified for Moses to kill all those women and children so to steal the land that God promised His "chosen".
Deuteronomy: 32:48-52 God said: Moses, go up the mountain, look at the land I give to the children of Israel, that you wandered 40 years to get to. God said: Moses, you can't have it. Moses died.
God's promises prove to be totally conditional and not fulfilling. Neither Moses, Aaron, Miriam and none of the people over 20-years-old, who came out of Egypt, got the promised land - except Joshua and Caleb. God had killed 2-3 million of His Own "chosen people".
Deuteronomy 34:10 Since then, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face. He had no equal in the signs and wonders the Lord sent him to perform.
Free-Murderous-Ride
Moses is a documented mass-murderer of men, women and children to fulfill God's personal agenda to steal and occupy their land. Moses' "perfect / loving / never-changing" God ordered all the mass-murdering and the theft of the land.
Is this your perfect, never-changing "God Of Love"? It's a yes or no question. If yes, maybe you too should be elected President of the United States so that the mass-murdering for "special interests" could be continued. Who could stop you?
The current US Presidents wants you to be zealously religious so that they, the assumed authority of your country, will also get a "free-murderous-ride" - just as you give a "free-murderous-ride" to your "perfect" God.
