The Israelis were told to:
“Completely destroy all the people: the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, as the LORD ordered you to do.”—DEUTERONOMY 20:17
“Be peaceable with all men.”—ROMANS 12:18.
DO THOSE Bible verses seem contradictory to you?
Quoting: b4its2l8 God did not want the Israelis to dwell with the cananites “They should not dwell in your land,” God warned regarding the Canaanites, “that they may not cause you to sin against me. In case you should serve their gods, it would become a snare to you.” (Exodus 23:33) The prophet Moses later told Israel: “It is for the wickedness of these nations that Jehovah your God is driving them away.” Not "contradictory". Nor does the comparison show that God "changes", which scripture states that He does NOT "change". God had previously told Abraham that the Canaanite land would belong to his descendants. They were wicked people who were from the Nephilim "line". Once the Hebrews got settled into the "promised land", they didn't go out to neighboring lands to invade them. They merely defended themselves from attacks by those neighbors. The Romans 12 verse is the result of a "new thing" that God had implemented, meaning that He had already sent His Son Jesus Yeshua to preach and teach the gospel of Salvation. The Old Testament is full of "new things" that God Yahuah did at various points in time for His people. You are quite correct. Unfortunately, The Israelites did not obey God. They did not destroy the people around them... And their descendents worshipped the idols of 'the other nations'... Actually, God did not want "all" the inhabitants wiped out at once. I would like to quote some interesting points from this article: Israel’s Downfall (Joshua 23 - Judges 3) One reason was that if all the people of the entire land of Canaan were wiped out right away, the wild animals that lived there would be too great in number, compared to the number of Israelites. These wild animals would make it unsafe for the Israelites to live in the land. [ link to bible.org (secure)]
