A viewer asks: “There are so many examples in the Old Testament of God’s people killing the inhabitants of lands that they overtook at the Creator’s suggestion or command—every man woman and child. The Israelites were commanded to destroy several nations, including the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, as well as the Midianites. These commands are found in Deuteronomy 20:16–17 and Numbers 31:17. In the case of the Midianites, the Israelites were instructed to kill every man, woman, and child, except for the virgin girls, as recorded in Numbers 31. This is not meant to be a comprehensive list of all nations destroyed by the Israelites, but these are prominent examples in the Bible. Were these events truly commanded by God? Who was behind all this killing?”91 views0 answers0 votes
Bestselling Psychologist Martha Stout, Ph.D. wrote the bestseller, The Sociopath Next Door. She regards sociopaths as those “without a conscience” – which is how it is presumed Creator would define it. She would likely characterize psychopaths as simply more overtly violent sociopaths. She described sociopaths as possessing “a noncorrectable disfigurement of character that is now thought to be present in about 4 percent of the population – that is to say, one in twenty-five people.” She writes of sociopaths: “Sociopaths have a greater than normal need for stimulation, which results in their frequent social, physical, financial, or legal risks. And sociopaths are noted especially for their shallowness of emotion, the hollow and transient nature of any affectionate feelings they may claim to have, a certain breathtaking callousness. They have no trace of empathy and no genuine interest in bonding emotionally with a mate. Once the surface charm is scraped off, their marriages are loveless, one-sided, and almost always short term.” What is Creator’s perspective?52 views0 answers0 votes
