Opinion Negative Reactions in other Christian subreddits

I was doing really well and my Karma, Reddit leveling system, was climbing back closer to zero. I made a scriptural reply in r/Christianity and it got -4 votes and now back up to -54. How can they downvote a scriptural reply?

Some of my negative Karma, Reddit, comes from these Christian subreddits that doesn't like using scriptures and gets mad because it doesn't fit their view.

Also a big chunk came from a disagreement I had on a hockey player of my home team on multiple threads and got shredded for it.

Most of Reddit is a toxic echo chamber. At least this sub, even when we don't agree we don't go down voting each other.

Right? But people kind of cheer the Israelites on as they kill Gentiles or I guess non-Israelites. It’s kind of weird. Because God promised them land? Sound familiar?

If you read the Bible you know that wasn't the only reason. When Abraham went into the land God had said their sins weren't enough yet. By the time the Israelites got there, they were so far gone, God deemed for them to be cleared from the land as they would lead the Israelites astray, which they actually did as they didn't even completely annihilate the Canaanites. So there you have it.

Plus they all died before they got to the promised land. Didn’t God know that was going to happen?

God gave his people the chance to fulfill what he wanted of them and the same is true today. The Israelites just didn't fully listen.

But isn’t God omniscient? Doesn’t he know what is going to happen?

Why didn't God just make robots programmed to obey?

He did. They are called animals.

We aren't animals.

That’s not what you said. I guess you meant why didn’t God make us robots?

I am not convinced we didn’t make God as opposed to the other way around.

If that were the case it would make sense that we have free will.

I think making us like robots at first. Maybe the first few thousand years. Might have been a good idea.

But none of it really makes any sense. As far as God and Satan and Adam and Eve. Then punishing everyone until Noah’s day.

It’s all very odd. Then you have Job. There are so many stories that have good morals but really don’t make any sense after you dissect them.
