Well, I have a few things to say.....
1. God did not commit genocide
2. if you will call this set of scriptures genocide what would you label the flood which wiped out the entire human race (except for 8 adults) and the entire animal, plant, insect, bird kingdom except for what was on the ark?
3. God was removing idolaters and threats to his chosen people
4. The whole book of Joshua is about conquest and war and even Samuel had to hew Agag to pieces because Saul did not do what was commanded.....
5. Even within this rightful act as directed by God we find mercy...any children killed who had not yet reached the point of knowing their guilt before God would be found safe under the blood.....I do believe in the age of accountability and had they been allowed to grow up as idolaters they would have perished in their sins and ended up in hell.
God will have mercy upon whom he chooses and has 100% complete authority to take and or command to take life........!
