Who knows, if there really is a Satan...which was depicted in the graph given of satan vs. god and the killings in the Bible....mabey that was Satan the men of the OT were using...I consider Satan the voice of flesh (pride, ego, greed, lust)....so if there is a 'being' that we can call Satan and the can rule the minds of greedy men...then mabey it really was Satan (voice of flesh) doing all that instruction of killing....mabey the graph needs adjusted.
If one understands 'divine nature'....they understand, Gods way is a order, not a constant intervention using man to go against given laws.

Conquering this body of flesh with the divine nature of the spirit...that is what 'Christ' is about and came to show. I actually believe he was a man that was able to study many religions and see how the divine nature has always been here....so as the nature of the flesh.
Many different kinds of sexual relations, even men and women, are taken for granted and used for ones own personal pleasures...pleasing the flesh.
This is why many with the divine nature are monks or use the same lifestyle as monks, abstaining from all sexual relations. Sexual relations is more about self pleasure...sometimes it involves true love, but most relations are based on a 'need' that one of the people have, such as needing to feel loved or to fill in some emptiness inside them they dont want to face. Many people end up in relations for the wrong reasons....and sex soon becomes a motion...not a act of love.

I see no point with the response of what I wrote.
Is it not true that most do not understand love? Most seeds are being made and reproduction is being done...but broken families in the end I dont think are apart of that plan.
If you are going to keep quoting the Bible, I will not continue this discussion. I have faith and it doesn't revolve around a book....it revolves around a divine nature which is something one must seek within to understand.
The world is over populated....I think we have done are jobs in populating the Earth. We have so many children without families and who are starving with no care in the world.

And to me...being born of the water is finding the divine nature within you and allowing that divine will to become your own will. Being born of the blood....to me, has alot to do with many lives, reincarnation as well as the spirit must be born into matter in order for the spirit to evolve.
We can agree to disagree though
Its late and Ill have to continue looking into further comments tomorrow...until then feel free to state your peace.

Hellish-D:
My friend, as so many of you point out, "how do you know the bible got translated right?" As I said before, it is against the nature of God to kill. It was not God that did all that killing in the OT. At this point in time I have a good lead as to what might have happened, but I am still considering it as just one of many leads as to who/what did the killing and how it all came about.
It was not God! Sorry, no two points on that one.
Peace to you,
Grandma
