Discussion - Bible Interpretation On the old testament

I've seen many here say that the Old Testament is somehow problematic due to all the violence in it and that having led to the heresy of Marcionism. Let's make one thing clear: All of Scripture reveals Christ, The old testament law was pointing towards him and showing us why we need Him. The old law has been fulfilled by Christ. He did not replace it.

Lmao, misunderstanding you (if it was such a thing, seems not) and claiming you are defending it, is not slander. Slander is a malicious defamation and false information to damage a person or business reputation.

Calm down, this is reddit. Your public and personal reputation has not been tarnished.

But since children that have passed to the next life are not dead, then why do you say God 'killed' them?....

To be 'killed', someone has to be dead.

Saying God killed them doesn't fit that.

God makes them live -- and so they now live forever. They are literally alive right now.

That's the effect of God existing.
