I want to love God but when I read the old testament about the sanctioned murder of children I am turned off:(

I guess you missed the part where He flooded the whole earth killing multitudes.

This is Gods ball of dirt. We are all part of it and His to do with as He chooses.

Don't be such a lump.

How can an honest person read about the slaughter of little kids and not draw the conclusion that this cannot be from a holy righteous being, in other words, is YHWH actually Satan?

I know the Caananites were evil and deserved punishment, but murdering a child is never a good and just act.

Fear not OP.

God didn't write that shit. God doesn't want that shit.

It's all filtered through stone age crazy people who wanted to control and exploit others not like themselves.

Seek the Source. It's inside yoy. Always has been.

History shows that the Egyptians controlled Canaan during the period that Joshua was supposed to have invaded it. So the story of Joshua is most like adapted from an Egyptian account. There are many inaccuracies of history in the Bible. The true God is peaceful and wants peace. False gods/evil spirits speaking through the priests, love to instigate war and create misery, for their own enjoyment.

Not only the Caananites, but the Midianites also, who were related to the Israelites. (Numbers chapter 31)

This. The fallen angels mixed with humans and created a hybrid race. An abomination to Gods perfect design. It was about trans humanism and it will be again. “But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”

That is incorrect and a Christian fable. Everyone except for Noah and his family were wiped out, even if the 'fallen' angels breeding with humans happened ... again which it did not.

They could call themselves Yahweh or whatever they wanted, and the people would believe it was the true God of Israel.

The Caananites were not human, they were nephilim.
Read the text, they had to be exterminated for the same reason as those before the flood.

The Bible is from God, proved by many prophetic passages.

The Koran is garbage from the Devil, the wicked father of lies, who pretended to be angel Gabriel. The Muslim caliphate is the beast of Revelation. It's deadly head wound was suffered in 1924 when the Ottoman empire was crushed. But Obama, Islam's Mahdi and Christianity's Antichrist, works with Muslim Brotherhood to revive the caliphate.

Yeah, read Enoch.

Enoch isn't a reliable source as it had been heavily tampered with thus why it wasn't in the canon.

That is incorrect and a Christian fable. Everyone except for Noah and his family were wiped out, even if the 'fallen' angels breeding with humans happened ... again which it did not.

It is Canon in the Ethiopian bible and the Coptic Christian Egyptian bible, and was considered canon by early Christian leaders like Origen, Iranaeus and Clement of Alexandria, plus Peter and Jude both quote from it, and Jesus took His two most important names from it, The Tree of Life, and The Son of Man.

Think what you want, Enoch is Canon.
