VIOLENCE IN THE BIBLE

.
Muslims frequently try to hide their essential hatred scripture and to justify their resulting atrocities behind anything such as mankinds history, behind politics, behind some violent verses in the old testament or in the torah, etc...

1. Yes, there are violent verses in the old testament. Anyway, the ESSENCE even of the old testament is a peaceful one, predicting communion and love, not hate, nor systematic conquest and/or subjugation as this is the UNMISTAKABLE ESSENCE of the quran. Who ever is honestly looking for the essence will find the essence of each of the scriptures mentioned, no doubt about.

2. The old testament has been replaced by the new testament.
It is everyones duty to respect this choice of the church in evolvement. Other people, which refuse to respect this, may have unholy reasons for.

3. Who ever is honestly looking for the truth, will listen to the prophets and leading teachers themselves such as Buddha, Krishna etc. yet to the lord, the savior: Jesus Christ and study his words, his life and his deeds.
Bible has neither been written by God nor by Jesus Christ, but by mankind.
The old testament is a mirror of the mankind of 2000 years ago. How can a honest reasonable person make Godfather or Jesus Christ responsible for some violent verses in a mankinds scripture.
The moral integrity of such a person has indeed to be questioned.
