Is that supposed to mean he gave them the right to enslave other nations and treat them as animals ...I am of the view he told his people to go into the world and preach the gospel not kill or enslave the inhabitants and take the land ...Don't put God in the evil act and greed of man.
You say, God giving the land to his chosen people.....Look around you America today is more pagan than the original pagans...you are living a dream...apart from the original natives everyone else in the americas is the root of an immigrant or the root of a slave. It is a revolving process the names are just changed...the immigrants now become legal or illegal and the slaves now enslaves themselves.....
My ancestors ALL were LEGAL IMMIGRANTS and filled out the immigration papers at ELLIS ISLAND.
So tell me what on earth has this to do with ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, instead of getting your name on the list and waiting your turn until you can immigrate legally to the country of your choice?
And even Native Americans, came from the same people that got off of Noah's Ark.
So Now you are going second guess GOD ALMIGHTY, and how HE should do things?
Maybe you should try to teach GOD how to do things RIGHT, "justice by newbirth".
You can start by correcting GOD here:
