- These are 4 quotations from Old Testament to show you when Jehovah instructed massacre and killing.
- Interesting & inspiringly, Jesus, the savior all Christians believe in, had been criticizing religious/Jewish teachers in synagogue & related them all to Jehovah in John 8:44 as below :
-
- 44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
- Chinese Version 约翰福音 8:44
- 你們是出於你們的父魔鬼,你們父的私慾你們偏要行。他從起初是殺人的,不守真理,因他心裡沒有真理。他說謊是出於自己,因他本來是說謊的,也是說謊之人的父。
- My question to all Christians, is your god Satan?
