		<description>&quot;God kills 50,000 men for peeking into the ark of the covenant. 1 Samuel&quot; 6:19

1. God kills 500.000 nolojal Israelitis, maybe Fariseis! 2 Chronicle.
2. God Engel kills 185.000 asirians Soldiers in one Night. Much more as
3. in Auschwitz or Buchenwald  together!!!

		<description>Ironically, you might be helping the blogger prove his points a LOT. 

I applaud you for being able to discern truth from fiction, but I know a few folk who&#039;d condemn you for your tendency to pick and choose from the Gospel. &gt;_&gt;</description>

		<description>@Ellen, again, checking biblegateway shows that the disparity comes from the different translations.  

KJV bible shows 
&quot;11And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down *great stones* from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with *hailstones* than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.&quot;

New American Standard Version
&quot; 11As they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth-horon, (D)the LORD threw *large stones* from heaven on them as far as Azekah, and they died; there were more who died from the *hailstones* than those whom the sons of Israel killed with the sword.&quot;

New International Version seem to have &#039;corrected&#039; the translation with a common &#039;historical testimony&#039;
&quot; 11 As they fled before Israel on the road down from Beth Horon to Azekah, the LORD hurled large hailstones down on them from the sky, and more of them died from the hailstones than were killed by the swords of the Israelites.&quot;

This raises an interesting point.  If an eyewitness were called to court, and over the trial, continually changes his testimony to suit new evidences found, how would the judge, jury or public view his integrity as eye witness?

How can we allow a book that is claimed to be the unshakably holy truth, be revised and compiled by man simply because they are in power to do so.  If so, then the god which Christians worship is the popularity god of power.  Because it seems like whoever comes into power, can manipulate the interpretation or even the text itself to suit whatever agenda needed.</description>

		<description>In the biblegateway link,

&quot;Footnotes:
   1. 1 Samuel 6:19 A few Hebrew manuscripts; most Hebrew manuscripts and Septuagint 50,070&quot;

Presumably, the 50k comes from the Hebrew translation.  =&gt; Later translation white-wash the killings?

&quot;撒 母 耳 記 上 6:19 (Chinese Union Version (Traditional))

 19 耶 和 華 因 伯 示 麥 人 擅 觀 他 的 約 櫃 ， 就 擊 殺 了 他 們 七 十 人 ； 那 時 有 五 萬 人 在 那 裡 （ 原文 是 七 十 人 加 五 萬 人 ） 。 百 姓 因 耶 和 華 大 大 擊 殺 他 們 ， 就 哀 哭 了 。&quot;

In the Chinese translation, it says that 70 was killed while 50 thousands were there.

Nonetheless, killing a lesser number of 70 does not make one a good and just god.  Thinking otherwise reeks of the Stockholm syndrome.</description>

		<description>Hi! I checked some Bible verses you listed and found out only 70 was struck down yet you claimed 50,000 under following list, what a big exaggeration? Where did you get the number from?
# Kills 50,000 people for being curious.
God kills 50,000 men for peeking into the ark of the covenant. 1 Samuel 6:19


The other list below didn&#039;t have rocks from the sky. I wonder where you got that from?
# Finishes off the Amorites with rocks from the sky.
God helps the Israelites slaughter the Amorites by sword, then finishes the job by reigning rocks from the sky. Judges 10:7-11</description>
