Did God Command Genocide During the Conquest of Canaan?

I really don't see how you could You could confuse sons of men with sons of God.
and yet you insist.

History,, does have evidence.

And Though you reject a Book that was mentioned in the Book of Jude.
And it does give a fuller description, of things mentioned elsewhere in scripture.

Despite your name,, you seem to reject more scripture than you accept.

So.... Again, why do you assume that sons of God there means something other than human?

Well, first there is the distinction that these are given in scripture,, that sets them apart from normal "begetting".
Scripture made it clear that this was different,, and these men were different.

Secondly the obvious physical differences.
And Lastly, the Descriptions of Enoch. Wherein exactly who and what they are is made very clear,, as well as reason for the destruction of the earth by Flood.

It really is worth the read,,
It contradicts nothing known in scripture,, only illuminates.

What's the distinction in Scripture?

WHO IS THE FATHER..
sons of God, WHO?

Adam was the father of all humans,, the geneologies of the early line were recorded who begat who..

Who? (watchers/sons of God)
And what did they Father? Giants, Abominations

What are you trying to deny? The existence of Fallen Angels,, or their interactions with women?

And no

God did not command Genocide..

He commanded them to cleanse the land. a task at which they failed.

Romans 8:14
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

Are the sons of God in that passage fallen angels?

Yes God did command genocide. God used the conquering armies of Israel to judge the Canaanites.

Romans is not the whole Bible.

After Christ's work,, those that are Born Again are sons of God. And we shall Judge the angels.

Natural men are not. so the reference in Genesis was not referring to the Saved Man or the natural man.

You really need to get outside of the book of Romans and into the rest of the Word of God.

Natural men are not.

So the Bible uses the term sons of God to refer to humans. Why do you say sons of God means something other than humans?

 

[pcosmar]

Yes God did command genocide. God used the conquering armies of Israel to judge the Canaanites.

So God failed?
is that your assertion? He should have gotten a better army.

The people of Canaan survived,, and caused all manner of trouble.

So No Genocide.

Because not all are the sons of God.. And it only uses that in regards to specific people.
Why do you deny the the Bible? You reject the idea of spiritual beings corrupting man,,,, from the very beginning.

But the Bible uses the term sons of God to describe humans. Why do you say sons of God in Genesis describes non humans?

.
Sons of God only ever refers to those Born of God... Or Angles,, in several places,, appearing as men.

Christ is THE son of God. Angels in several scriptures are sons of God,, and Those Born Again are now sons of God and Brothers with Christ.

Satan presented himself in heaven with the sons of God.(angels)

Job chapter one.. and feel free to read it in several translations... KJV uses sons of God,, Others translate Angles. But considering this was outside of Earth,, I doubt it was men.
