Compassionate History (response)

I have enjoyed reading the responses that I have received concerning my last post, "Compassionate History." Most have been thought provocative. I especially thought this was well said....

I for one appreciated the mild diatribe. I was struck that the Egypt memories were to have an ethical import beyond just "our God can beat up your God." Another words, Yahweh's confrontation with the self worshiping empire/emperor was no mere tribalism (there was after all mercy for Egyptians who feared Yahweh), rather heaven's way is set against human sin. - Marlin Sommers
