Quote:In my dealings with Christian apologetics i find that the Jews always gang up with the atheists to fight Christianity The atheists will lambast Christianity with long winded stuff on how evil and cruel the God of the "Old Testament" is.I have never heard the counter Missionaries or any Jewish apologist ever try to defend the Hebrew Scriptures or God. They side with the atheists constantly but then pretend like, or at least speak as though, the God of the Hebrew Scripture is just not the one under discussion. Yet we all (sic: know) that is not the case. The atheists will say God is evil and cruel and these guys never say anything against it.
Quote:How do you (sic: fight) the atheists? God in the "OT" (pordon my Christian designation I know that term can be offensive I do not mean it to be) condones slavery and order the massacre (sic} of women and infants and so on. How do you answer it?

Quote:1 When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and shall cast out many nations before thee, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations greater and mightier than thou; 2 and when the LORD thy God shall deliver them up before thee, and thou shalt smite them; then thou shalt utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor show mercy unto them;~ Deuteronomy Chapter 7

Quote:1. He will cast away. Heb. ????. This is an ex-pression meaning casting away, and causing to fly. Similarly is (Deut. 19:5),?and the iron [axe blade] will cause to fly [from the tree].?2. nor be gracious to them. Heb. ?? ???? This means, you must not show them any grace (?) . It is forbidden for a person to say,?How handsome is this heathen!? Another explanation: Do not grant them a settlement (???) in the land. (Avodah Zarah 20a)
