God Forbid.



I am trying to see if you understand that just because “words” were spoken and recorded in the Bible.... that those words may not be words, teachings or directives from God.

If you cannot read Psalm 137:9 and see that it is prophecy and not a directive then you have a need of further study and skill.

Edit to add: there is difference between a prophecy.... a foretelling of future events... and a directive from God.


It is one of those Psalms where the Jews are asking God to kick some butt. Do some of that genocide he is always talking about.

You have yet to explain how something that has already happened last night at midnight is a prophecy.

Here is another one that is not prophecy:
Genesis 19:24
Then the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the Lord out of heaven.


As I surmised. You don’t have a good understanding of what a “prophecy” is and you are also unable to discern the difference between a prophecy and a command or directive from God.

No wonder you understand very little. However, you are still hanging in there and I applaud that.

Btw.... in your opinion, was Hiroshima genocide?
