Let’s see if the book of Deuteronomy can be as cruel as the other four books of the Torah as Moses re-hashes his history with his God.
"The Controversy Of Zion" by Douglas Reed.
Deuteronomy is above all a complete political program: The story of the planet, created by Jehovah for this "special people", is to be completed by their triumph and the ruination of all others. The rewards offered to the faithful are exclusively material: slaughter, slaves, women, booty, territory, empire. The only condition laid down for these rewards is observance of "the statutes and judgments", which primarily command the destruction of others. The only guilt defined lies is non-observance of these laws. Intolerance is specified as observance; tolerance as non-observance, and therefore as guilt. The punishments prescribed are of this world and of the flesh, not of the spirit.
By the time the end of Deuteronomy is reached the moral commandments have been nullified in this way, for the purpose of setting up, in the guise of a religion, the grandiose political idea of a people especially sent into the world to destroy and "possess" other peoples and to rule the earth. The idea of destruction is essential to Deuteronomy. If it be taken away no Deuteronomy, or Mosaic Law, remains.
Thank you, Douglas Reed!
Deuteronomy 1:34-38 God was angry and swore: Not one man of this evil generation shall look upon the good land I gave your fathers, except Caleb and Joshua because they followed Me unreservedly.
God, as documented C&V, never breaks a promise - unless He feels like it. This confirms the evidence found in Numbers 14:23-38. Will you still deny that God broke His promises?
Probably so.
Deuteronomy 2:14-15 38 years later, the whole generation of soldiers died.
What? 38 years? Not 40?
God turned His gift into punishment: Catholic Bible Note
Deuteronomy 2:24-25 God said: Begin the occupation. Provoke him into war. Today, I am beginning to make all nations dread and fear you. Torah
Doesn’t this make obvious God’s intentional and murderous agenda? Chapters and verses like this prove that God is the greatest and most evil terrorist in the Bible.
To worship evil while calling it good is absurd. Absurdities often sound profound because most are incapable of being understood. Behold the value of "paradox" as a tool or weapon. Do you realize that as long as you are confused and concentrating on something you can't understand, you are controlled. Once you have given up on intellectual understanding and just blindly accept, congratulations, you have been saved to become a full-blown puppet.
The Bible appears profound because it is full of absurdities and contradictions. Frankly, the NT has much more paradox than the OT. Paul, the biggest jerk in the entire Bible, was the master of paradox. People tend to demean themselves and feel incapable of understanding the Bible while the fault mainly lies within the Book, Itself.
How do you view this God’s heinous deeds toward human kind? How do you view legal scholars and clergy who support this God? When tried, how do you view jurors (believers) who attempt to cover up or alter the facts in order to acquit the Biblical God? It’s all ego and fear.
Deuteronomy 2:30-34 God made a puppet of King Sihon (hardened his heart as God did Pharaoh) so we could murder him, his sons and all his people. God’s army destroyed all this King’s cities and utterly destroyed all the men, women, and all the little ones. We took all his cattle and spoils of all his cities. KJV.
Sihon Gathered all his People Together, and He Fought Against Israel.
Isn’t this Biblical God insane, a bully, a murdering, stealing terrorist? What would this God character, fictional or not, have to do before you personally wake up to see what an evil character He is documented to be?
Deuteronomy 3:1-7 God delivered Og to us and we killed until none remained, utterly destroying all the men, women and children of all 60 cities, but we took all livestock and booty for ourselves.
Have you felt any pity for these poor people who God forced the Jews on so to murder them and steal their land? Do you at least feel sorry for the slaughtered women and their babies?
Do you realize that they had no idea who this God was? Do you view that they were all rightfully destined to die by violent means? Would you want what God did to them done to you and your family? If you say yes, you are insane. If you say no, then God was wrong.
How about an American idea? Let’s go and twice nuke and murder 100,000 civilians after their all but defeated country loses a war.
Perspective: During WW II over 50 million human beings perished. Many died by American technology, weapons and manpower. American deaths were just over 400 thousand.
Deuteronomy 3:22-24 God tells Moses: Fear them not. Your God will fight for you, for what God in Heaven or on Earth can perform deeds as mighty as Yours.
Moses does kiss buttocks.
Addictions: It’s that sensitive feeling, the one you will not debate, like for drugs, alcohol, sex, or your religious beliefs, that emotionally controls you to do what you do. Religion, alcohol, drugs and sex are not addictions. Your feelings are. You may call them beliefs.
That which can give you emotional pleasure can also give you emotional pain.
Deuteronomy 3:26-28 Moses said: But, God turned against me because of you. God said: Enough! Don’t speak to Me anymore about this. Climb the cliff, see it (The Promised Land) as you will not cross into it. Instruct Joshua, as he will lead the people.
Moses Sees the Promised Land
Did you expect any different? God’s Biblical hero, Moses, after Miriam and Aaron, was also lied to. God’s promise was also broken to all three of them. Moses also did not receive The Land of Milk and Honey. God’s promise of The Promised Land was obviously conditional. This God lies and does not keep His promises.
Deuteronomy 4:10 God said: Learn to fear Me and as long as they live on the Earth so teach their children.
The Biblical God is a terrorist. This God wants fear. Aren’t your kids supposed to love God and fear Satan? Believers are so afraid of God, they have to blame everything bad on a fictitious guilty party called Satan.
Deuteronomy 4:21-22 Moses repeats: God displayed anger at me due to your words. God swore that I would die in this country, not making it into The Promised Land.
Deuteronomy 4:24 God is a consuming fire, even a Jealous God. KJV
Isn't Hell described as a consuming-fire and eternal-torment? Is this heinous God also Satan and Hell?
Just think of it. If anyone else did these heinous, murderous and terrorist acts; he would surely be considered insane.
Deuteronomy 4:25-26 If you make a statue or image, making God angry, you will then quickly perish, be utterly destroyed.
Godly-gee, confusion, for next, this follows:
Deuteronomy 4:31 For the Lord thy God is a merciful God; He will not forsake you nor forget the promises He swore to your fathers.
Is this propaganda, media hype, feel-good false advertising, delusion, hypnosis, a con-job or what? Are we glad this is in there, that this God is good? Now, we can forgive, forget and start all over with God.
Duh - No! Remember this Biblical God already caused millions of His Own “Chosen People” to die due to His "Promised Land" agenda. How many people did they kill so to steal their lands? God ordered Hi people to kill and die, then, God ended up killing most of His Own, Himself. It’s tough to break from religion hypnosis. If clergy knows the deeds of this hostile, criminally insane God, yet, support Him, what does that make them?
Deuteronomy 5:9 I am a jealous God inflicting punishments for their father’s wickedness upon the children ...
God Iinflicting Punishment
This God does inflict His wickedness upon children.
Pause. Take an intellectual breath. Do you believe, support and promote this C&V? Would you do the same thing that God did if you could to innocent children? Would you want to be punished, by God, for what your forefathers might have done?
Deuteronomy 6:5-6 God commands you to love Him with your heart and soul. Catholic
This is under the Catholic's: "The Great Commandment".
Can your feelings of love be commanded or legislated? Your feelings of fear - maybe. Can any authority command or legislate your love (feelings) for God, King, Country, Buddha, or the IRS?
Now, are you ready for another of God’s real deals?
Deuteronomy 7:16 Without pity, kill all the people God delivers you.
Can this be God’s guidance for the murdering of children and the treatment of P.O.W.s?
Thomas Paine 1737-1809: "Religions appear to me non-other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit."
In 1528 AD, King Henry VIII had the first Bible printed and distributed in English. The problem with this is the reader becomes the interpreter of scripture and the Catholic Church didn't want that. They wanted to keep the content of the Bible exclusively to the interpretations of their clergy.
In 1539, Thomas Cranmer, the Archbishop of Canterbury, hired Myles Coverdale at the behest of Henry VIII to publish the
"Great Bible"
so-called because of its impressive physical size. It was the first Bible in English to be authorised for public use,
being distributed to every church and chained to the pulpit.
Many believers believe that to divorce is against God's commandments - yet God, Himself is a divorcee as documented in Jeremiah 3-8.
The King James Version came out in 1611 AD. The KJV is also somewhat different today than it was in 1611.
Deuteronomy 7:20-24 God will send hornets to destroy your surviving enemies, so don’t worry about them. You will murder these nations little by little; you can not exterminate them all at once. You will rout them utterly until they are annihilated. No man will be able to stand against you, till you put an end to them. Catholic
Deuteronomy 8:20 Like the nations God destroys before you, so shall you too perish, if you do not obey God.
This tyrannical God is only about authority and obedience. So are most of the believers who support this heinous character.
Deuteronomy 9:3 God, a consuming fire, will reduce them to nothing and subdue them before you, so that you can drive them out and destroy them quickly. Catholic
Deuteronomy 9:28 Moses prayed: God, would You have people from whose land we take say: The Lord was not able to bring them into The Promised Land He promised them or out of hatred for them, He brought them out to murder them in the desert?
That's exactly what the Biblical God did to the people over 20 years of age who God took out of Egypt.
Deuteronomy 10:8 God set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the Arc, minister to Him and give blessings in His name.
Deuteronomy 10:17 For God, mighty and awesome, has no favorites, accepts no bribes...
If God has no favorites, then the Jews, especially the Levi, are not favored nor special and prayer and tithes are basically useless to God.
Deuteronomy 11:13 God said: If you obey my commandments - I command you this day to love your God and serve Him with all your heart and soul.
Pastor Arnold Murray, upon reading this asked: Are you sold-out to Him. Do you love Him? Many of us in combat (Korea) have seen God's hand upon our troops. When we were so far outnumbered, we should have been annihilated, we won because of the mighty hand of God's blessing. And, that (the death of all those Koreans and Chinese) brings peace to this great nation.
Deuteronomy 11:13-15 (If you love your God with all your heart and soul), I will give you rain, crops, wine and cattle so you won’t be hungry.
From obey or die - to obey and get rewarded? God uses bribery? Can anybody possibly get confused by the Bible? Everything in the Bible is absolutely true… unless it isn’t.
Deuteronomy 12:2 You shall destroy places and nations...
Deuteronomy 12:12 & 18 You shall make merry before God with your sons and daughters, your male and female slaves…
Isn’t this more conformation of God’s condoning attitude towards slavery?
Deuteronomy 12:29 God said: Be on guard once they have been wiped out before you. You have replaced them and you are settled in their land… Catholic
Deuteronomy 13:2-10 That prophet, that dreamer of dreams shall be put to death because he has spoken to take you away from your God. You must be the one to put him to death. Your hand must be the first against him to kill him followed by the hands of the other people.
This is a mix of Catholic, KJV and Torah. Could this chapter possibly be interpreted in such a way, it becomes The Old Testament’s personal spear in Jesus’ side?
Deuteronomy 13:7-10 God ordered: If your own brother, son, daughter, wife or friend entices you secretly to serve other Gods, murder them. Your own hand shall be the first raised to murder them; the rest of the people shall join in with you.
Would one consider this to be a stabilizing perspective for one’s mental-health?
Whenever trust is introduced, there is always the probability of betrayal. The mechanism of belief tends to ignore that. Believers are rarely prepared for betrayal to the point that they often deny it even after it happens.
Deuteronomy 14:21 Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself: Thou shalt give it or sell it to a stranger that he may eat it. KJV
G: Let’s go to court on this Bible C&V.
