***Isn't it amazing that people can reach the point of blaming God for the death of six million in the halocaust, instead of a deranged mind like Adolf Hitler? This certainly doesn't fit the idea of a "good" God, does it?***

That's OK, Vern, cause P-Marlowe has already admitted that, according to YOUR theology, God APPROVED of what Hitler was doing. That is, of course, unless you want to tell us that God couldn't stop Hitler.

So, which is it Vern, was God castrated or did he give his stamp of appproval to Hitler's actions?

"If, in fact, God did not approve of the actions of Hitler, then how is it that Hitler was able to do the things he did?" ~ P-Marlowe

Woody, I suggest we abandon this line of discussion.

Woody, your recent post deserves no serious consideration. If you can get off the arrogance and condescension, perhaps you can explain how a "good" God could pound His chest and celebrate at the deaths of those in the ovens of Auschwitz and Dachau. The image of God is offensive and disgusting, but that is what you would have us believe, right?

Marlowe said absolutely nothing about MY theology, so you are totally wrong at that point. Most of us don't walk in "lockstep" like some others. I'm quite sure you have adequately twisted whatever Marlowe said.

[P-Marlowe]

P-Marlowe has already admitted that, according to YOUR theology, God APPROVED of what Hitler was doing.

That's news to me. I do not believe that God approved. Indeed his nature would require disapproval. The killing was done in clear contradiction to God's commandments. So unless God didn't really mean it when he said, "Thou Shalt Not Murder", then he did not and could not "approve."

So show me the post where I said I thought God "approved." If you can't show it to me and the other posters and lurkers, then make a public apology and request that your post containing that libelous statement be removed.

That's OK, Vern, cause P-Marlowe has already admitted that, according to YOUR theology, God APPROVED of what Hitler was doing.

Since we're in the SBR Woody, it appears that I am now clear to point out that your statement is a LIE.

And you know it.

The teaching is that God does permit choice, and in doing so He permits both good and bad consequences.

If God controls the consequences of "free choice," then it really isn't free choice.
