Conquering the Promised Land

This is a very complicated problem. It raises questions of historical doubt and interpretation and also creates a theological problem about God's personality. I do not think we can solve everyone's problem with a short blog, but at least we want to exclude some very important elements that we need to consider when solving these problems.

Conquest of Canaan by ancient Israelis depicted finite events that had not been repeated in history (related stories are 21 and 31, Josh 6-12 and 1 Sam 15) All Israel war Is not sanctioned by God. In fact, some people are condemned as a proud and highly greedy champion or military competitor. Sometimes the whole Old Testament is regarded as full of violence, and all the wars described therein are considered to be ordered by the God of the Bible. This is a fake manga

Conquest of Canaan occurred in generations (Joshua) for a limited time, place and scope. For some reason the term "genocide" is technically incorrect or helps to explain these fights.

This is not a conflict between "Israel and Canaan" based on ethnic identity. Since there are many Canaanites who recognize that the God of Israel is the LORD of all nations, they joined in the contract (Rahab of Joshua, millet of Joshua). If this is a racist war it will not be tolerated. Many fights began when the Canaan alliance attacked the Israeli people and defended themselves and won. The conflict stated in Joshua 9-11 began with the formation of various Canaan allies and attacks on Israel. From Israel's point of view, these are not fighting people but fighting enemy forces.

The words used in some of these fighting stories are exhaustive and fierce: "They have not left any survivor" and "Israelis destroy them altogether." But carefully reading, compared with other ancient Near East stories, Joshua writers showed that they used these phrases as intentional exaggeration. For example, in a city conquered by Israelis, it was said that no Canaanese were alive (Joshua 10: 36-39 Hebron and Debbie). However, only a few chapters when other Israelites went to these cities, there still were Canaanites living there (see Joshua 15: 13-15).

Again, the Israelites did not completely remove all Canaanites (see above). The city they are engaged in is a military strategic outpost town surrounded by walls. Most of their inhabitants are combatants.

I am doing it together. Remember the story of the Israelites who conquered the promised land. Some tribes have already acquired inheritance on the other side of Jordan. But those people will later fight for inheritance with other people and then they can return to their legacy. By one tenth, you must maintain a sectarian fortress in the church. Together, they feed each other. They seem to be Siamese twins. Sectarianism focuses on the outside and focuses on religious beliefs. The wrong doctrine they encountered said: You pay one tenth of your site 'given'. "Where" is the language of sectarianism

After Moses' five books, there is a history book from Joshua to Esther. It began with the extreme conquest of the land promised by their fathers Abraham. The entire promised land is from the Egyptian Nile River to the modern Iraqi Euphrates River. At most, Israel only governs part of modern Israel and Jordan. The only difference here is the length of the book. Lamentation, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel constitute the Lord Prophet or the longer Prophet, the rest constituting the Second Prophet or the Shorter Prophet. Historically, these times ranged from the acquisition of Israel by Babylon to about 100 years before 500-400 BC.

Joshua - the successor to Moses, the leader of Israel. Joshua ordered people to conquer and promote comprehensive military operations to solve the land promised to the people. Joshua always encouraged Israel to obey God, which means he doubts that Israel will do so. His advice tells future religious strife in Israel. Samson - Epic hero who deterred neighboring Philistines by using the judges of Israel and the power of Superman. Samsung is extremely rashful and radical, and driven by the desire of foreign women. These properties contradict Jewish religious ideals. Samsung's long hair is a source of his strength as well as a symbol of his religious beliefs against God as a Nazi. Samson's personality shows that in the Bible the possibility of a hero is measured not by human excellence but by belief in God.
