The lesson for today's Christian is that God wants us to root all sin from our lives. The battle is not flesh and blood and we are never told to kill indiscriminately to "cleanse" an area.
Joshua was told to do this deed and he was faithful to a point to do it. We may find it distasteful, but from what some archaeologists have found, the people of Canaan were no angels and death may have been the merciful thing to do.
The lesson for today's Christian is that God wants us to root all sin from our lives.

It seems to me, being unloving/cruel,murdering people, and even judging someone based upon nothing but a general idea of their religious beliefs without really knowing the person would be sin.
If God is love, wouldn't anything outside of love be sin?
The mental gymnastics we use to justify prejudice and hatred reminds me very much of the mental gymnastics we used in TWI to justify the unsound doctrine and behavior there as well.

I don't know why Joshua was given the command to kill everything in the promised land, but he was. And Israel did not do it and they kept paying the price for it for generations.
God's ways and understanding are higher than ours, when we see things in the Bible we do not understand, we should by all means study them with all of God-given faculties, but in the end, we may not get all the answers we would like or even how we would like them.
Abi, you said: If God is love, wouldn't anything outside of love be sin?
Judgment is a sign of love. It means that God cares for his creation enough to send judgment when its inhabitants have strayed too far.
The archaelogists have found the level of debauchery, human sacrifice and other sins to be so great that some have said it was with mercy that God sent Israel as an avenging army.
Adults, children, animals —even the ground carried the diseases and pestilence of a sin-wracked world.
In a sense, Israel was liberating the land from oppression. When cultures have gone too far down the road of sin, there has to be some way of correcting or eliminating the problem.

The greatness of God's Word moves within our lives when we move withinn its bounds.
As we continue to remain fully persuaded, we begin to see with the microscope and telescope of HIS Scope to move the Word over the world. Remaining faithful, we see results because God's Word does not return void.
Stevo, time to pull out Stevie's Essential and play at normal for you and I levels. Then don't you think it time to bring her out by the fire as he tells of stories of conquering and thrilling at the taste of life. How her heart burnt within her to hear of her heritage unfold.
It's time now Stevo, we've both grieved the loss of your work, let's rebuild it my friend.
Flagging a ride is not as fun as its "used to be" intents and purposes.
Seems I have a little predicament going on here.
That's okay. When I first cruised to WD/GSC and entered chat, well I was was greeted by a friendly welcome and a short tour. Then I was let to tour on my own and encountered a fly swatter. How rude! :D-->

..."...For an hour or more, we sat there laughing as Red — and his guest that week, Phyllis Diller — ran through the framework of that week's show, but with dirty jokes ad-libbed in place of the real lines. Mike's friend had slipped us a copy of the script and I followed along with it, noting how Red would do one line from the show, then three or four lines about flatulence that Lenny Bruce would have rejected as being in poor taste. Then he'd do another bit from the script, then six or seven jokes about women's breasts. It is doubtful that, just at that moment, God was telling Red what to do."...
