Religious beliefs/Former Frodo and Sam thread

Calm down afro, stop putting words in my mouth. The canaanites were not innocent. I am not a theologian, but what I believe is that their time to repent was past. God had warned the Canaanites to repent, and they did not. He was using the Israelites to punish them. It says somewhere that the sins of a few affect many. Take, for example, the Jew's captivity in Babylon. Because many (but not all) of their kings had been evil, they were deported to Babylon. That's not fair. But God will not hold back his punishment all the time.
