What turns me down about God are 2 stories that I have readed on my bible.

1. God hardening pharaoh's heart and punishing him because of it, and
2. Levites killing his relatives

Today I will talk about the second one.

Exodus 32:27 "Slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour".

Since I've believed in Jesus because of his love, this freaks me out. And makes me wonder how one could do good on murdering the ones who are loved by us. Considering that Levites didn't made anything wrong (since they did not worship idols), I wonder how is righteous to punish them with that horrible task.

This passage, being absolutelly contradictory to the scripture on New Testament (Matthew 5:43-48 and a lot more). Makes me think how terrible it must be for someone who has never even killed for eating, taking a knife and kill just in order to "obey" or "save his life".

What shocks me more is that they receive a blessing for being murderers of his loved ones.

Exodus 32:29 Consecrate yourselves today to the Lord, that He may bestow on you a blessing this day, for every man has opposed his son and his brother.

Isn't this absolutelly opposed to what we have learned from Jesus? I think that I would prefer to die before facing the fact that I've killed my loved one, each day during the rest of my life.

Isn't this absolutely opposed to what we have learned from Jesus? Is God capable of demanding that people murder their loved ones?
