Is this the one you believe to be too squeamish to cancel the tickets of a whole race whose demonic practices (including the murdering of their own babies) he had endured for centuries without their repenting? Obviously God is far above such practices/means/ends. But the irony still remains given t...

Interesting comments, questions, responses and retorts. So far it appears that the argument breaks down to the logic of the mutually exclusive. 1)God is God 2)God's ways are perfect. 3)Even if man doesn't find "reason" for His actions His actions are Just and Right: Why? See points 1 and 2 I apologi...

"I realize that people are not animals, but if they have an eternal happiness awaiting them after death, God certainly may be acting kindly in dispatching them in whatever way He sees fitting to His overall purposes." This maybe the only justification for such actions. A far stretch for my feeble m...

"I cannot answer for God as far as what all of His reasons may have been, but God has the ability to look at the eternal picture and to judge accordingly " Steve: The most honest answer and reply yet. The scope of "eternity" or reality with out time cages the human mind because it is beyond our per...

Mass Slaughter of Children in the Bible.

1) The Flood. 2) "The Ban" book of Joshua 3) 1 Samuel 15:2-4 :roll: I never understood this. I have had atheists challenge me on the authority of "the God of the Bible" based on the "God of love" vs "Killing of the innocent humans" Having a family of my own I can't even imagine this kind of "blanket...
