"It can, yeah. If an entire city is wiped out, that could be called a genocide. Also, in the Bible it's specifically about exterminating other tribes, so that definitely qualifies as genocide"
Yes, but when God commands it, it is "good" genocide.
btw, oh great and wise biblical scholar, that would be the same God Who said this:
"Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked, declares the Lord GOD, and not rather that he should turn from his way and live?"
Ezekiel 18:23
If you had any sense at all, the issue that should have your liberal panties all wadded up is this- that God allows any of us to live at all. It should not surprise us that God directs the death of the wicked, but that He let's so many of the wicked live. And even in that, He has graciously provided a way, more costly than you can understand in your blind ignorance, a way for us to live forever without the presence and consequence of sin.
God did all of this/is doing all of this for His perfect reasons, and no one has to pay the ultimate price themselves. But then there are fools like you . . . who consider themselves unworthy of eternal life.
“It was necessary that the word of God be spoken first to you. Since you thrust it aside and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we are turning to the Gentiles."
Acts 13:46
