For those who are upset and think God is mean and ask why God would ask the Hebrews to attack and take a city in the old testament. [Spirituality & Religion]

Did you read about the Maiden Inca Mummy on cocaine who had bludgeoned two kids to death as a sacrifice to her gods. We are wicked and God is good. God is just!

The 'God of justice' is no longer relevant.

Matthew 5:38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’
5:39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also."

@helenS God is relevant, even today.

@Carazaa Please note that I said "God of justice", not just "God".

Justice based on revenge has been revoked by Christ, who is the voice of God. ==> God himself has withdrawn the "eye for eye" justice.

Romans 12:19
Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord.
