Resolved: YHWH should not be worshipped

No acceptance is needed and the burden of proof is entirely on me. I am going to assume that everything in the Bible is true. That God is the creator of the whole universe and that we are here at his whim. Given that, does it make sense to follow his will? does it make sense to love and worship that God? As we are both Gentiles, this adds an extra layer to the debate. Even if we are his creation, that does not mean that we should wish to obtain Heaven and oneness with God. In fact, I will argue that it is within us to, assuming there is a God, wish to remain out of his presence. This does assume that Heaven is merely being with God (as I assume a person of the Bible believes Heaven is, as opposed to streets lined with Gold and towers of Ivory) and that Hell is "Sheol" and simply means "removed from God" until the second coming when we are cast into the Fire and possible Oblivion. Otherwise, men might desire Heaven for materialistic things, but I would argue that is contrary to the Biblical version of Heaven. But that is the true allure of following God, correct? First, because He is our Creator Second, He is the standard for morals (debatable, but whatever) Third, He is our gateway to everlasting life and oneness with Him in Heaven. Given these three things, along with all other examples of His "perfection" in the Bible (though, I'm not sure how turning water in to wine should mean we should worship a guy)... we should choose to Hell and Oblivion. We should Defy Him. This all assumes as well that the God of Abraham and the God of the Trinity are one in the same. However, Jesus's sacrifice was not an apology to Gentiles as I argue for in this debate--- http://debate.org...... Therefore, any actions performed by God in the Old Testament can be used against him as to why we should not follow him. If we do believe that Jesus was an apology, we must then ponder over whether to accept that apology or demand a greater sacrifice before we sacrifice our own lives. At no point will I be arguing that "this happened, therefore there is no God". I will always be taking the view point that God exists. I also will be taking that viewpoint that God has allowed us Free Will. Therefore, any actions of Man cannot be construed as the actions of God. HOWEVER, anything in the Bible that was COMMANDED by God will be considered as such. Even if the action itself was performed by Man, we can discuss that fact that such an act has been Commanded by God. All of my arguments will consists solely on why GENTILES should not worship YHWH, the God of the Abraham, the God of Moses, the God of Jacob (Israel), God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord; who was Conceived of the Holy Spirit, Born of the Virgin Mary, Suffered under Pontious Pilate, was Crucified, Dead, and Buried; who on the Third Day, rose from the Dead, ascended into Heaven to sit on the Right Hand of God, the Father Almighty, who from thence Judges the Quick and the Dead. I'm talking about the Holy Spirit, God of the Catholic Church, who forgives our Sins, will resurrect our bodies and give us life everlasting. That is the God that I'm talking about... YHWH. With all that said, I begin My first argument: The atrocities commanded by God in the Old Testament. During the course of the Old Testament, God commands the Tribes of Israel to do things that are against Gentiles. Specifically, one of the things that I cannot condone as a Gentile, is the promise of the holy land. Following the Tribes of Israel's exodus from Egypt, God commands Joshua (Moses' successor) to commit Herem on all the people living in Canaan. However, God did not limit it only to the Canaanites. Before Joshua crossed the Jordan River, God commanded him also to commit Herem against other foes. A few of these are the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. Also, of course, one of the greatest "foes" of YHWH (as he declares it himself) is Amelek. When Saul destroys the entirety of Amelekites, he leaves Agag (the King of Amelek) alive. Samuel (Prophet) himself hacks Agag to pieces. Now, as Christians, we can view these people as barbarians and sinners. They were enemies of YHWH and hence needed to be destroyed. But in that, we must remember that in the eyes of Judaism, we are all the same... Gentiles. So, because we are seen in the same way, (in context of the time), we must view these people as our brethren, else we fall into the "First they came..." scenario. Just to clarify, that I've said all this... Herem means to destroy everything of that people. Every man, woman, child, and animal. This type of atrocity was also committed against Jericho and Ai. It should be noted that Amelekites WERE NOT located in the Promise Land. These were merely people who YHWH considered an enemy and thus needed total annihilation. I really want to focus on this because I think it is very important to consider. Can we overlook this act of madness against Gentiles? Sure, this is the land given to the Tribes of Israel, but does that mean we have to be ok with it? Do we want to seek Heaven where we will spend the rest of our eternity with a Charles Manson? Now we can look to the good messages he would later say, but we cannot forget these acts of violence, as they were COMMANDED by God himself. As he is perfect, they were intentional. I understand too, how, if you are a Child of Israel, how this would be OK for you. What do you care if your ancestors were commanded to kill Gentiles? But as Gentiles, we need to decide if this is ok with us. We need to decide if we will worship a God who in the past commanded the slaughter of who would have been considered brethren at the time. I await my opponent's response in worshiping the God who commanded Genocide against our people.
