Someone asked about Psalm 137:9 and it was INSTANTLY deleted?

It was a warning to those who destroyed the Temple and carried God's people into captivity (the Babylonians). And it came to pass that the mighty Babylon itself was eventually conquered, and the people who conquered them (the Persians) restored the Jews to Jerusalem and even helped them rebuild their Temple.

Try reading the Bible sometime, instead of picking verses out of it. Also a little Bible study from a historical and cultural perspective will help too.

One of the rules in Judah was "an eye for an eye". This meant that if someone dug your eye out, you would dig his out. This was the rule in verse 9 of the psalm. The soldiers from Babylon killed many *Jewish children in 586 B.C. The *psalmist says that the same will happen to the children in Babylon. They did not want the children to fight the people that killed their parents. So they did not want them to grow up. That is why they killed the children. This is what they usually did in war. War is when countries fight each other. They even did this to *Jewish children in the Second World War. They hit them with rocks! (If you like words, you may like to know this: The word "rock" in Psalm 137:9 is the same word as the capital city of Edom!)

Now read the words that Jesus said at the top of the psalm. He said that his people must not do this. If someone hits you, you must not hit them back! You must let them hit you again! This makes following Jesus different from following other people. It is not easy to do it, but Jesus gives us the help to do it. Perhaps we understand the *psalmist when he wrote verse 9. But we do not have to copy him. What he thought was right in 516 B.C. But it is not right now. Jesus gave us new rules.

What the *psalmist said in 516 B.C. was right for another reason. If you asked for bad things to happen to people, it was a curse. A curse was a weapon (a way to fight) in war. It stopped other people attacking you. Christians do not need to curse people. Jesus will give them help, and stop people attacking them. He will do this if this is what he wants. If Jesus lets someone attack then he has a special reason for it.

OMG! I wonder if the losers who try to defend this crap have a clue about how stupid their excuses are. Why, that 'mom c's' goes so far as to contradict the others. Actually, I guess it's also contradictory that some flat out said it didn't happen, it was 'just' a warning and others said it did but that was OK b/c they had doe the same to other tribes (eye roll)

You people are sick!

IDK

If they are going to do that, they should delete all of those who take verses out of context, ignore the verse before it, or the entire chapter in this case, and never have studied it out to find out who wrote it, why, what it was about, or who the Babylonians are that had taken the Israelis into captivity in such a way that they were hoping that someone would recompense them.

Not sure why it was deleted, but it is an overused out of context scripture that some people use to try and make the Bible look bad.

he never told people to do that

no that is not what god said to do

it is a prophecy to babylon of what will happen to it by the nations who conquer it

KJV: Psalms Chapter 137

[8] O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.

[9] Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

I guess Christians are ashamed of their own book

I think you need to read verse 8 also

The retards dont want their book exposed.
