> Which Bible were you reading?!? We are commanded to LOVE our neighbours.

Joshua:
11:11 They struck all the souls who were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them; there was none left who breathed: and he burnt Hazor with fire.

11:12 All the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and he struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them; as Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded.

11:13 But as for the cities that stood on their mounds, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua burn.

11:14 All the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey to themselves; but every man they struck with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any who breathed.

11:15 As Yahweh commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua: and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that Yahweh commanded Moses.

Now, you can try and talk about "Covenant Theology", but I am pretty sure you yourself said the bible is absolutely true, and the bible quite cleary says there that god commanded Joshua to kill entire cities of innocents.
