| IS IT OKAY TO HATE EDOMITES? |
| Deuteronomy 23:7 Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he
is thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger
in his land. (KJV)
II Kings 14:7 He slew of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand, and took Selah by war, and called the name of it Joktheel unto this day. (KJV)
|
| The slaying of the Edomites in 2 Kings was a case of self-defense. Saying we shouldn't hate them doesn't mean we shouldn't protect ourselves from them. Not a contradiction. |
