Terrorism and Genocidal Violence of the Bible (New Testament)

Namaste,

I had to make this post, albeit in a hurry, as I saw some absolutely idiotic posts by some westerner(s) (redundant anyone?) saying that the New Testament of that large roll of toilet paper called the bible is somehow philosophical and promotes "peace" and "love".

These christians in disguise on this forum are highly dangerous and Hindus must wake up to their subversive tactics.

Here is an excellent source showing all the genocidal violence and terror promoted in the New Testament under the sanction of that worthless jewish charlatan jesus, again, redundancy at its best, that christian filth hold dear: http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/cruelty/nt.html

Anytime you have someone drawing parallels between Hinduism and trash like Islam, Christianity, or Judaism, a red flag should go up and one should become aware of these deceptive folks' intentions.

Oh dear, I fear this thread will reduce to verbal genocide between posters.

So anyway, about genocide in the Bible. It's true that there are numerous depictions of the slaughter of children, and other forms of mass murder under the guise of war. That said, I try to judge people by their actions and not their professed beliefs. The fact that most Christians try to make excuses for these passages of their scripture suggests to me that they know the acts are wrong. There are exceptions of course, e.g. the National Liberation Front of Tripura. I haven't read their propaganda, but I'm sure they appeal to Deuteronomy and Joshua to promote the little war they're waging in India. But even most Christians would denounce this. For example: the Bible says that when the Israelites invaded Canaan, they marched around the walls of Jericho for seven days until God brought the walls down and allowed them to invade (and this was followed by a slaughter and sack of the city). I've heard of Christians having "Joshua marches" where they march around Hindu temples in the hopes of converting the devotees inside. This is many things: highly disrespectful, hateful, and harmful all come to mind. But it's not violent. Unlike the Muslims who trumpet their analogous scriptures as an injunction for holy Jihad, Christians tend not to be terrorists. A lot of them are bad people, but let's give them credit where credit is due. They're not beheading anyone.

namaste,

I see many christians march around hdf wearing dhoti and tilak pretending to be hindus. That's till I give them a round house flying kick and throw them out. :p

Just part of everyday dharma for me.;)

Red flags do go up but I have to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Thank you for posting this. I thought having one or two examples would be enough to shut these wolves in sheep clothings up, but it seems the more examples we have collected the better. It would be good to have a thread with such information so that whenever someone draws parallels of Hinduism with the Bible we can redirect them to the thread, so that no one has to be confused about the compatability of Christianity, Islam or Judaism with Sanatana Dharma.

Here are some examples from other threads:

This disapproval is confirmed by verses three to five. Abel and Cain bring offerings to God: Abel of his sheep and Cain, the fruits of the ground. God, we are told, had respect for Abel's carnivorous offering, but He had no respect for Cain's vegetarian one. Never forget - it was the vegetarian Cain who murdered the shepherd Abel.

Let's now take a look at Hindu theology to understand the Hindu concept of God:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LI1EgwdTUVI
Duryodhana ke meva tyago, saga vidura ghara khayi
He renounced the sweets of Duryodhana to eat spinach at the house of Vidura.

Krishna accepts the offers of Vidura and Shabari out of love (patram pushpam phalam toyam, yo me bhaktya...), the Christian God on the other hand had no respect for the vegetarian offerings of Cain. So, how can one say that the Christian God and Krishna are the same. This is completely ridiculous and such statements, to equate Krishna with the Christian God, are hurtful to those who have faith in Krishna.

In the course of my time here I read the bible through to the end many times. The christian god is wrathful, hateful and a full out monster. Unfortunately I know this book so well I can point you to the exact locations of some of the most serious attrocities.

But first, let me explain that the bible was not written by a God, it's origin is in the hands of common men with their own motivations...then edited by other men and clumped together in the form we know today.

I suggest reading the appocrypha if you have any doubts about that.

http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/apo/index.htm

One has only to look at the other books which were taken away to see how convoluted the truth would be to decypher.

Okay so onto the actual bible and its "god".

This portion of Leviticus is where God tells Moses that disabled people can not take sacrament inside the temple.


16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
17 Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
18 For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,
19 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
20 Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
21 No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.
22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
23 Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify them. 24 And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.


Here's another jewel....Good ol' Numbers 11-

Folks had been walking lost in the desert with Moses, only having Mana to eat and drink. The people begged kindly for God to give them special food for their celebration. He got very angry....angry enough to poison and kill every single man, woman and innocent child within the group.



1And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.
2 And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire was quenched.
3 And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the LORD burnt among them.
4 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
5 We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:
6 But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.
7 And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium.
8 And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
9 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.
10 Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.
11 And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?
12 Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?
13 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
15 And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee.
17 And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.
18 And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;
20 But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the LORD which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?

21-29 is just blah blah blah about the details of this-

30 And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
31 And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day’s journey on this side, and as it were a day’s journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth.
32 And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.
33 And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.
34 And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted.
35 And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.


Disgusting....and this happens throughout the bible. It's positively wretched.

One time the followers of Moses finds a stranger gathering wood for his family in a bit of forest, they capture this man and take him to Moses and God commands them to stone this man who could have a wife and children depending on his hunting, because it was the Jew's sabbath. Even though this man was not of them!

Numbers 15-


32 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.
33 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.
34 And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him.
35 And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp. 36 And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.


I could go on and on...all day and night with these things. Because when one comes from such ridiculous indoctrination and with Shivaya's Grace, are allowed to leave such ignorance. You know exactly the reasons for this religion to be truly and undeniably separate from the Divine Truth of Sanatana Dharma.

Sanjaya, you touch on a good point that is far deeper than the outer descriptions of violence and terror in abrahamic faiths that seem to be followed only apparently by muslims today. However, it is, IMO, the christians who are far more dangerous than jihadi muslims. Let me explain.

A jihadi muslim is an overt and vociferous promoter of Islam and will never stoop to taking on the identity of other faiths to trap others for conversion and/or destruction. In other words, we, as non-muslims, can easily identify the enemy. Once identified, the enemy is always easier to fight and oppose.

Fundamentalist christians are highly devious and masters of subterfuge. They too have been genocidal in their relatively short history wiping out civilizations and cultures far older and better than theirs however, in the 20th century, they have largely gone underground. That too, only in the latter half of the 20th century. These scum (missionaries, christian apologists and fanatics) are like trojan horses. They are known to be deceptive in their outer demeanor, far removed from the usually emotional and violent jihadi, and they use this to their advantage to win the trust of unsuspecting people.

The most important thing to realize is that all abrahamic faiths, including the jews, are founded on self-importance and exclusivity. No matter how flowery their words are or how "nice" they may seem, the underlying philosophy is that of a jingoistic nature. This is the start of all conflicts.

To say that christians are better, especially compared to muslims, is highly erroneous IMO. For example, western corporations tried to patent Basmati rice, grown and made in India for millenia, in order to capitalize the market on it and prevent others from growing it freely. This is a method of stealing and robbery. One does NOT have to break into a convenient store with a gun and demand money to be classified as a "robber". Likewise, just because we don't hear of christians "beheading anyone" (they do shoot people however and we'll get to that later) does not absolve them of their atrocities and crimes.

The christians, especially those in the west, have enormous disdain for muslims who are supposed to have descended from the same bastard Abraham. This is simply a racist ideology because they believe in almost all the same things like the adam/eve myth and some YAHOO god in the sky. The jews are tolerable compared to the other two because they are not as violent culturally or physically. Yet, they are at the forefront of academia and other institutions denigrating India through so-called scholarship. This too, IMO, is violence.

As you've aptly pointed out, the NLFT is a CHRISTIAN TERRORIST organization. They work in collusion with the naxalites (commies) in India along with the jihadis to harm Hindus. The NLFT has been caught going village to village threatening people with conversion (to christianity) with AK47s and other weapons. How come we don't hear of that on CNN? Even if those incidents are sporadic, the christians are attacking Hindus culturally with much more support and fervor than muslims.

See, the bottom line is, I prefer an honest robber than a lying, thieving, and conniving one. We're better off without either of them but to say the latter is better because of their outwardly appearance and behavior is simply foolhardy.

Look at the many instances of members of HDF who had to be banned because they were christians in disguise. There were a couple of muslims too but the preponderance of christians who pretend to be Hindus or even ones who may genuinely be interested in Hinduism but still cling on to that worthless toilet paper bible and charlatan jesus is far greater than that of muslims who do the same.

To the people who feel jesus and/or christianity has valid points, do they feel the same way about islam and muhammad and the quran? Or what about moses and the torah/talmud?

If you dig a little deeper, they will freely criticize muslims and islam but keep jesus on a pedestal. All three of the abrahamic religions, their followers, and their scriptures are absolute trash. This is the fundamental fact of the matter. Anyone who claims to be Hindu and clings on to any of them is obviously a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Outer appearances can be deceptive; remember, "eternal vigilance is the price of (true) liberty!"

The wolves are thinly veiled...due to their own arrogant ignorance.

Vannakkam: Last night at our temple I overheard a person talking about the upcoming events at another 'temple' .

"Oh yes, and on Saturday next week we're celebrating Christmas of course. We're singling carols, exchanging gifts and there will be aarti to Christ." The person speaking had a proud tone.

Now what kind of Hindu temple is that? Since when is Christmas likened to Maha Sivaratri, Divali, or all the other wonderful festivals?

Can you imagine going to some church and asking the pastor to keep it open all night so you and your Hindu friends could go celebrate Sivaratri

One can get a sense of how universalist a temple group is just by reading their published calendar of events.

Crazy!!

The real value of December 25 is at hotels and the like as you get the whole place to yourself. Airports are less busy too. In fact this Dec. 25 I catch a plane. Once my family had an entire indoor waterslide park at a hotel all to ourselves. It was great. No lineups.

Aum Namasivaya

I can start crying right now. This really shows the attitude of people, like the whole religion is some sort of make belief celebration where it doesn't matter what kind of character you put in front. If people were serious about Hinduism they would never allow such a thing in a temple. I can't imagine what kind of inferiority complex the temple managers are dealing with. If people want to worship Christ, they should go to a church. Hindus don't go to church pretending to be Jesuits and then chanting aum namah shivaya during the sermon. Hindus don't visit Christian forums and impose Hindu concepts in discussions of Christian theology. These Christians want to have the upperhand at everything and universalists are letting them.

This is pure Christian conversion tactics. The first step of these missionaries is to befriend Hindus, to pretend that they want to learn about our religion. Instead of fighting our beliefs directly which most Hindus will resist, first they want to make us familiar with Jesus, like he is just like one of the many Hindu gods. After that they slowly try to focus our attention more and more on Jesus. They will have Hindus singing arati and christmas carols to Jesus for example. They will try to prove that Jesus was a great yogi or an avatar. They will quote from and misinterpretate Hindu scriptures, mixed with references from the bible and the koran trying to prove there's just one God, but superstitious Hindus created many false images (ala Zakir Naik). Then they will bring us to their Church (or maybe to a Yahwey Yoga class in the future), to make us part of their group. I am not making this up, there are manuals online with subtle techniques to convert South East Asians (Indians). They know that when it comes to Indians, handing us a Bible is not enough.

At my temple we have Christmas notices, but it is treated as a day of giving and fellowship. I see it as mostly a way for children to not feel left out while the rest of the country does something fun.
