Well isn't that just like the God of the Old Testament? Who punishes a mass of the innocent for the guilt of a few?
And I'm suppose to love that God? John, or whoever, got it wrong when he said "God is love." He's more a God of fear.
But thanks for another example of putting the Bible on a torture rack, by linking verses in Matthew to Hosea ; a book comparing Israel’s abandonment of Yahweh to a woman being unfaithful to her husband, saying Israel abandoned the law, and about the fall of Israel in the 8th c. BC.
By dragging that book into the siege of Jerusalem in the 1st c. AD. you've provided a quintessential example of putting the Bible on a torture rack, to make it say what you want it to say.
