All the examples that you guys give are from NARRATIVE PASSAGES. Nothing in the text says whether what they did was good or evil. Nothing says that is what we are to do. The Assyrains murdered people, and that is recorded in the Bible. Should we do the same thing?
Judas betrayed Christ. Should we do the same thing?
You need to make a decision about what is descriptive and what is prescriptive. Just because it is recorded in the Bible does not mean it is the right or God-approved thing to do.
Are you asserting that God would have preferred that the Hebrew midwives NOT lied to the Egyptian King?
