You disagree with God's decision? God was unrighteous? Please inform us. It's okay to let Midianites take your women and lead them into idolatry?

Tim, you know better than God. You tell us! You're omniscient and know you cannot have missed something if God chose not to heal -- you know why. So, tell us, oh Tim!

It's OK to kill babies, as punishment for what some of their parents did? To take the virgin women and girls as spoils of war? Well, sure. If God told you to. You would too, wouldn't you? You have to obey God!

I am not omniscient. I have never said anything to imply that I think I am.
You, however, know when God has spoken. You know which writings that claim to be inspired by God are inspired by God. OK, technically, I claim to know that, too. But my answer is different from yours, and you actually do think some are inspired. Which ones, and how do you know?
Oh, and you have already enlightened me on my brother's death. It was because I asked amiss. It was about my own lusts. Thanks.
And no, I don't know anything better than God. Where did you get that?

You need to read the bible more carefully, oh great mocker. The babies were distinctly not to be killed. Any other way to misrepresent the bible, ye who could not have been wrong about your lack of healing, omniscience personified?

Sure you did! You said you almost went crazy over not being healed or a brother not being healed. That implies omnicscience because you could not trust God in the midst of it as though he might have a rason you do not know, but demanded nothing other than healing. You had no concept God might have a reason unknown to you, so you could only conclude He is not real nor does He exist because the healing did not come.

It's the books in the bible. ANYTHING ELSE is subject to error. EVEN MY WORDS.

Wrong. I simply said there may have been a key to his healing you did not know about, or God may have had a purpose for the death. There are many reasons that it could be, but I sure don't know the one. In fact that was my point to you. You thought you knew according to the word, so you said the word must be wrong since what you thought you knew was not the case. Omniscience.
I don't know. But you sure claim you do -- to you that means there is no God!

Your omniscience demonstrated in concluding God must not exist as explained above.

17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

BTW, no, of course I don't disagree with God. I disagree with you.
Did I write the bible, Tim? What is it? Do you agree with God or with the God of the Bible? IS God the God of the Bible? Please tell us, omniscient one. Am I the God of the Bible? You believe I was wrong when your brother died? I am saddened by your loss. Please understand me. But was I the blame? Not the God of the Bible? Or what is it about the God of the bible you are trying to say?

I agree with what Adam Clarke said about the deaths of babies.
Kill every male among the little ones - For this action I account simply on the principle that God, who is the author and supporter of life, has a right to dispose of it when and how he thinks proper; and the Judge of all the earth can do nothing but what is right. Of the women killed on this occasion it may be safely said, their lives were forfeited by their personal transgressions; and yet even in this case there can be little doubt that God showed mercy to their souls. The little ones were safely lodged; they were taken to heaven and saved from the evil to come.
