And Israel wan't wicked and did not worship idols?oceolo said:God told them to kill the people because they were wicked because they worshipped idols.
Abraham came from a people who worshipped the moon but God taught him the truth. Could He not have taught the Canaanites? Did He who does all things according to the good pleasure of His will and Who takes no pleasure in the destruction of the wisked but that the wicked should repent, did He actually command His people to dispatch entire cities to Hell?
You will say that God knew none of them would repent so He had them killed. Why then do we preach the Gospel to people who won't believe? Why don't we just kill them?
