God Takes No Pleasure in the Death of the Wicked

As I've written before, the Bible and the Qu'ran differ as to the role of who avenges wrongs. But the Bible goes further by saying that God doesn't enjoy the death of sinners.

Certain critics of Christianity claim that the Old Testament God was vengeful and petty. If so, why did he command one of his prophets to say what he said? Ezekiel 33:11 (KJV) reads, "Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?"

But some folks will point to verses such as Deuteronomy 7:2 (KJV) which says, "And when the LORD thy God shall deliver  them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them;  thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor show mercy unto  them:"

People neglect to remember the context of this and other verses which command genocide. The descendents of Israel were weak and prone to worship idols. The seven nations in the Promised Land were extremely cruel, even roasting their babies alive to appease their demon god Molech.

Leviticus 20:2 (KJV) shows how seriously God took this barbaric practice. "Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel,  Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that  sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall  surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with  stones."

I've written before about Christ's command to love our enemies and do good to them but Islam contradicts this. Sura 3:118, as one of many examples, reads: " O you who believe! Do not befriend outsiders who never cease to wish you harm. They love to see you suffer. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, but what their hearts conceal is worse. We have made the messages clear for you, if you understand. "

This "convert or suffer" mentality is at odds with the Bible. That's why I'll point this out in my next book called You Think You're Going to Heaven? Those who assume we worship the same deity as the Mohammedans need to see how different the two of them are.
