Part II. General Protection of Populations Against Certain Consequences of War
Art. 13. The provisions of Part II cover the whole of the populations of the countries in conflict, without any adverse distinction based, in particular, on race, nationality, religion or political opinion, and are intended to alleviate the sufferings caused by war.
This is false because, as I have demonstrated earlier, God hates some nations more than others.
Art. 14. In time of peace, the High Contracting Parties and, after the outbreak of hostilities, the Parties thereto, may establish in their own territory and, if the need arises, in occupied areas, hospital and safety zones and localities so organized as to protect from the effects of war, wounded, sick and aged persons, children under fifteen, expectant mothers and mothers of children under seven.
No such zones are necessary, given that all women and children will be either dead or enslaved, depending on their nationality (see verses above).
Art. 16. The wounded and sick, as well as the infirm, and expectant mothers, shall be the object of particular protection and respect.
The Bible doesn’t mention anything like that, so this idea is simply wrong.
Art. 18. Civilian hospitals organized to give care to the wounded and sick, the infirm and maternity cases, may in no circumstances be the object of attack but shall at all times be respected and protected by the Parties to the conflict.
That is not necessary, given that all enemy civilians will be either dead or enslaved.
Art.24. The Parties to the conflict shall take the necessary measures to ensure that children under fifteen, who are orphaned or are separated from their families as a result of the war, are not left to their own resources, and that their maintenance, the exercise of their religion and their education are facilitated in all circumstances. Their education shall, as far as possible, be entrusted to persons of a similar cultural tradition.
In cases where children are kept alive, and not slaughtered (Psalm 137:9), they will be enslaved by God-fearing people, and receive Godly education (including healthy beatings: Exodus 21:20-21), not some heathen mumbo-jumbo.
Art. 25. All persons in the territory of a Party to the conflict, or in a territory occupied by it, shall be enabled to give news of a strictly personal nature to members of their families, wherever they may be, and to receive news from them. This correspondence shall be forwarded speedily and without undue delay.
The Bible doesn’t specify such a provision, hence, it’s wrong.
Part III. Status and Treatment of Protected Persons
Section I. Provisions common to the territories of the parties to the conflict and to occupied territories
Art. 27. Protected persons are entitled, in all circumstances, to respect for their persons, their honour, their family rights, their religious convictions and practices, and their manners and customs. They shall at all times be humanely treated, and shall be protected especially against all acts of violence or threats thereof and against insults and public curiosity.
Wrong. The Bible doesn’t say anything that would suggest respect for slaves. They are property (Leviticus 25:45), and need to be punished, even if they didn’t know that they were doing something wrong (Luke 12:47-48).
Women shall be especially protected against any attack on their honour, in particular against rape, enforced prostitution, or any form of indecent assault.
Wrong. This has been discussed on Landover forum countless times, for example here:
http://www.landoverbaptist.net/showthread.php?t=40794
Without prejudice to the provisions relating to their state of health, age and sex, all protected persons shall be treated with the same consideration by the Party to the conflict in whose power they are, without any adverse distinction based, in particular, on race, religion or political opinion.
Wrong. As discussed earlier, God hates some nations more than others, and gives us different treatment instructions for each.
Art. 28. The presence of a protected person may not be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations.
Finally something God can agree upon. If women and children were in the city attacked by God fearing forces, that’s their loss:
Quote:
Deuteronomy 2:34
And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain
|
Art. 31. No physical or moral coercion shall be exercised against protected persons, in particular to obtain information from them or from third parties.
It’s doubtful whether a woman or child could provide any useful information. However, enemy civilians might be spared if they do cooperate:
Quote:
Joshua 6:25
And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
Judges 1:24-25
24 And the spies saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said unto him, Shew us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will shew thee mercy.
25 And when he shewed them the entrance into the city, they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and all his family.

Art. 32. The High Contracting Parties specifically agree that each of them is prohibited from taking any measure of such a character as to cause the physical suffering or extermination of protected persons in their hands. This prohibition applies not only to murder, torture, corporal punishments, mutilation and medical or scientific experiments not necessitated by the medical treatment of a protected person, but also to any other measures of brutality whether applied by civilian or military agents.
We have talked already about murder, torture, corporal punishment, and mutilation. However, God is in fact against science (1 Timothy 6:20), so that part of this statement is actually Biblically correct.
Art. 33. No protected person may be punished for an offence he or she has not personally committed. Collective penalties and likewise all measures of intimidation or of terrorism are prohibited.
Wrong. God supports collective penalties (Genesis 19:24-25; note that even infants were killed).
Pillage is prohibited.
Wrong: Genesis 34:27-29, Deuteronomy 20:13-14, 2 Chronicles 28:8.
Section II.
Art. 37. Protected persons who are confined pending proceedings or serving a sentence involving loss of liberty, shall during their confinement be humanely treated.
Wrong. God doesn’t say that such people should be treated differently than any other enemy civilian.
Art. 38. With the exception of special measures authorized by the present Convention, in particularly by Article 27 and 41 thereof, the situation of protected persons shall continue to be regulated, in principle, by the provisions concerning aliens in time of peace. In any case, the following
rights shall be granted to them:...
(3) they shall be allowed to practise their religion and to receive spiritual assistance from ministers of their faith....
As I have discussed earlier, God doesn’t approve when heathens practice their abominable “religions.”
(5) children under fifteen years, pregnant women and mothers of children under seven years shall benefit by any preferential treatment to the same extent as the nationals of the State concerned.
God doesn’t say anything like that in the Bible, so this statement is simply wrong.
Art. 39. Protected persons who, as a result of the war, have lost their gainful employment, shall be granted the opportunity to find paid employment. That opportunity shall, subject to security considerations and to the provisions of Article 40, be equal to that enjoyed by the nationals of the Power in whose territory they are.
Wrong, because slavery is not a paid employment.
Art. 45. Protected persons shall not be transferred to a Power which is not a party to the Convention.
Wrong. Slaves can be sold (Leviticus 25:45).
Art. 46. In so far as they have not been previously withdrawn, restrictive measures taken regarding protected persons shall be cancelled as soon as possible after the close of hostilities.
Wrong. Slaves stay slaves. See verse above.
