How do we deal with the parts where God commanded the Israelites to kill everyone in Cannan and other places? How do we deal with the wanting of sacrifices of innocent animals? Why did he say to sacrifice Issac if he never thought of child sacrifice? Why create the devil? Why create the tree of the knowledge of good and evil?
Have strong faith but these are the issues my family and I have been seeking answers to. Want resolved.
EDIT:
So new topics… If the devil was a murderer and theif from the beginning, how does that fit with the theory that he was an angel that fell who was once perfect? The king of Tyre may not be the devil then. He is a cherub it says. So was he made before time and the beginning? How could he have been perfect and then become evil if God says he was a murderer and theif in the beginning?
The Cannanite infants were innocent, why kill them and not save them? If the Cannanites were to be killed for killing their infants, why would he command the Israelites to do the same thing to these infants instead of saving them?
If God hates the hands of those who shed innocent blood, why would he command them to kill innocent infants? Why would he command to kill and shed blood of innocent animals? This seems like a contradiction and needs to be addressed or it is too easy for unbelievers to pick on.

These are really hard questions. Kudos for tackling them instead of hiding from them!

You asked a lot in one post. Lol. I would like for you to research dualism. Also, it’s not that he didn’t want us to ever have knowledge of good and evil, however, He wanted to be the one to teach us. We allowed ourselves to be deceived. Also, get familiar with dispensations. God deals with us in regard to sin depending on the dispensation. Helps us to understand why he handles things the way did. Blood always had to be shed for the remission of sin, Jesus being the ultimate lamb, the ultimate atrocity.

Justice is not crime. Never

Killing of Canaanites was the justice for burning babies alive for hundreds of years
-
Animals were sacrificed in order to make people understand the moral law. Today we have people without moral law looking to kill billions

Devil was made as an angel. Later he rebelled and became evil.

Nothing wrong with the tree.

There were 2 trees,
The tree of life and that of the knowledge good and evil. God put them there for us to practice free willGod never created the devil,He created an angel
The angel rebelled and became the devil -
Does this mean you don’t believe in the eternal torment in he doctrine or is that something you don’t have any issues with?

are we to beleive you have mastered all the rest of the bible and have complete and understanding knowledge of it that you now need to go into things that are not spoken of in scripture

The various “ites” that God commanded be killed off were the descendants of Ham – whose wife had Nephilim blood. God was ensuring the blood line to Jesus would be pure. We have discovered since the type of people they were. They would take infants and put them on a molten hot statue and let them burn to death as a sacrifice. They would play drums and chant as loud as they could to drown out the screams so the parents wouldn’t hear the suffering. These were terrible human beings.

Cannanites must have Nephilim blood because it mentioned there were giant in the land of Canaan (Numbers 13). If you mix Nephilim blood with human blood, it will further corrupt humanity. There was a reason why God order Israel to carry out the annihilation of Cannanite because Nephilim is not part of God’s plan and Angels are not suppose to intermingle with humans.
Nephilim has more advantage than normal human beings. They are more vicious, bigger, stronger, and constantly hunger for blood. There were countless of giants eating humans recorded in Native American folklore. If God didn’t wipe these people out, you will still see human sacrifice and giants roaming the earth terrifying humanity.

Please watch this. It was explained so well.

You all need to wake up! The bible clearly states many unresolved issues that none of you can answer. He is all knowing. He created all things. So before he created all things he knew what all would happen. So, he knew adam n eve wouldn’t listen. He knew Lucifer would rebel. He created the good & evil. He knows & knew. If those biblical truths dont confuse you, than you either have one sided vision or your aware of it & ignore it. Things dont make sense. I can go on & on using all the specific passages which clearly say unresolved issues. Firstly because there in every translation. Secondly, because the bible doesn’t give the answers. It’s not an interpretation issue. I just isnt clarified. Anyone got all the answers?
