Yes.

Basically, God said "thou shalt not murder". Then, later, he said, "go kill all the people in Jericho. Here... I'll even help."

Then later, he said "I'm a loving god and a gracious god". Then he killed everyone in the tribe of Israel. But their kids got to go to the promised land... right after they killed all the men and raped all the women who were already in the promised land.

This goes on and on for 66 books. Then you walk away wondering what the f**k Christianity is all about. Then you wake up and realize you're an atheist.

It's described in the Book of Joshua, but most if not all of the stories in that book are of dubious accuracy,

Answer 6

Joshua led the Israelites into Canaan where they laid siege to the city of Jericho. God spoke to Joshua telling him to march around the city once every day for six days with the seven priests carrying ram's horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day they were to march around the city seven times and the priests were to blow their ram's horns. This Joshua did, and he commanded his people not to give a war-cry until he told them to do so. On the seventh day, after marching around the city the seventh time, the priests sounded their ram's horns, and Joshua ordered the people to shout. The walls of the city collapsed, and the Israelites were able to charge straight into the city. The city was completely destroyed, and every man, woman, and child in it was killed. Only Rahab and her family were spared, because she had hid the two spies sent by Joshua. After this Joshua burned the remains of the city and cursed any man who would rebuild the city of Jericho at the cost of his firstborn son.With the fall of Jericho came the Israelites' first victory in their conquest. As a result of the battle, Joshua's fame spread throughout Canaan. Joshua then sent an expedition against Ai west of Jericho. For over 400 years Jericho lay in ruins until Hiel of Bethel rebuilt the city. The city was rebuilt at the cost of Hiel's firstborn son, Abiram, and was fortified at the cost of his second son, Segub.

Answer 9

Archelogical findings have proven that the city was not only in the Bible, but really on the map. It's walls fell down "By faith the walls of Jericho fell down." The people of Israel walked around the fortified city for several days, and then it simply fell! See cool website below.
