DWQA QuestionsCategory: ReligionsA viewer asks: “The book of Acts 13: 13 to 25 (quoting a Catholic Bible source) includes the passage, ‘The God of this people Israel chose our ancestors and made the people great during their stay in the land of Egypt, and with uplifted arm he led them out of it. For about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness. After he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance for about four hundred fifty years.’ How truthful is this scripture about God destroying seven nations in the land of Canaan and how does it fit with the loving nature of God?” Reference: see April 30thhttps://readings.livingwithchrist.ca/

This is one of the stories in the Bible that is incomplete. As we have taught your channel, we do not unilaterally destroy what is in the physical in the way of soul-based beings. So such misfortune was due to acts brought about through the Law of Karma in a follow-through to the shortcomings and choices of those people in losing their divine alignment. There have also been clashes and confrontations between the Israelites and other peoples, just as today between Jews and Arabs. These are not arranged by us but are free will choices of the parties involved. The net result will be factored with respect to what is divine and what is less so, in terms of the long-term consequences. That will be adjudicated eventually via the Law of Karma as is true for everything taking place in the physical plane.
