Is it or isn't it?

I think it's safe to assume that Paul was referring to only that contained between the covers.

Since I haven't been able to trap any believers in this thread, perhaps you could liven things up by declaring a few of the 'bad guides'.

:20 If a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod and he dies at his hand, he shall be punished.

:21 If, however, he survives a day or two, no vengeance shall be taken; for he is his property.

OK, let's start with this one about to conduct warfare.

At Deuteronomy 20:10 the god decrees:

"When you march up to attack a city, first offer terms of peace.
If it agrees to your terms of peace and opens its gates to you,
all the people to be found in it shall serve you in forced labor.
But if it refuses to make peace with you and instead offers you
battle, lay siege to it, and when the Lord, your God, delivers it
into your hand, put every male in it to the sword, but the women
and children and livestock and all else in it that is worth
plunder you may take as your booty and you may use this plunder
of your enemies which the Lord, your God, has given you."

Are you saying these people did not deserve to die?

Even the Jews all deserved to die.
As do we all deserve to die.

Are you saying that Jehovah does not have as his purpose to cause all who have died to have another chance at life?

I'm not asking you to believe, but the same Bible you are using to post this straw man also provides the remedy.

For most who have died. Perhaps not Cain. Perhaps not Judas.

Yes, I do understand that you like to discount the extreme barbarism in the O.T. . .

I don't take issue with your perception:
Most of the people in this world have exemplary moral standards without the Bible.
That is a credit to their creator. ( According to the Bible, should you choose to believe it.)
And many thump the Bible with blood stained hands.
That is not the fault of either the Bible or the God who inspired it. ( Also according to the Bible.)
Those who read with discernment know this.

Perhaps you prefer the civilized practices of the Baal worshipping Canaanites.

Apparently, Jehovah sought to eliminate those who burned their children alive.

16 As for the towns of the nations the LORD your God is giving you as a special possession, destroy every living thing in them.

17 You must completely destroy the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, just as the LORD your God has commanded you.

For good people to do bad things, it takes religion/following the Bible

. . . I'd bet that the good people doing bad things really do think that they read with discernment.

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life"

"Verily, for the Muttaqun [righteous], there will be a success (paradise); gardens and grapeyards; and young full-breasted (mature) maidens of equal age; and a full cup (of wine)"
