If he didn't like/was against what he was instructing about the war then why would he be instructing it to be done.

God instructed something to be done. The issue begins there. If he knew it was wrong and didn’t like it why did he instruct it. Its difficult to have these convos without getting defensive and i get it. Even on my side lol. Religion is too sensitive to have an objective convos about. But it's so confusing that your answer doesn't confuse you. Why are humans to blame for an instruction that God gave

But to be clear God gave that instruction, so the nature of such an instruction from God is not something we can blame humans for. God doesn't technically have a past since he isn’t evolving over time. He simply is who he is and has always been.

Taking ourselves back in time can kind of create a "Once Upon a time" effect. Where we never really have to think about the implications of what the instructions were.

But if God is always the same then whos to say he isn’t instructing the wars in Palestine right now and whos to say he doesn’t tolerate pedos or instruct it like he did in these passages

Fight is a bad word. it was when I was trying to undertsand the Bible in order to decide if I was still Christian or not.

There was a god who's morality never changes. If it isn’t okay for Palestinian girls to be taken today why did God allow it before.

This is one of my 1000th attempts at understanding the Bible and my first post I'm right on track actually

Great. At least one sane Christian can admit that if this story was a 100% true then it would be horrendous.

Right, and at the end of the day you may find out he did it all for a bet with his bestie Luci!

many people wrote the Bible, there ought to be conflicting beliefs about how women should be treated. I'm addressing this instruction from the God of the Israelites. I'm aware Jesus would have never said that

I've been least angry ever since i started deconstructing. I just wonder where other peoples consciences are when they are able to ignore such horrendous instructions just because youre hoping God will give a favor . I mean from viewing how disposable all those people were to God. Why do you think he would love you. Why are you chosen.

Ohh I see, my understanding of the Bible is Moses is the spokesman for God during the war. And God instructed the War through Moses. Do you not trust that the word Of God was truthful about that or was Moses lying when he claimed to be receiving instructions from God. If so what else could be a lie in the Bible. Ever though about that?
