Sadistic actions are evil, no matter who does them.
God only made ameads when Job called him on his actions.
Pgyanke, There is no difference between the God of the OT and the God of the NT.
The entire approach of the NT is different than the OT, it is like in the NT they have forgot almost everything the happened before in the OT.
Xzins, Actually, I'm very comfortable with a god being able to take a created thing's life.
Xzins, Specifically, I'm comfortable with my life being in God's hands. But that really isn't my call any more than the steer's call when the farmer takes it to market.
Did it ever occur to you that God may not have the best interests at heart for you, me and the rest of humanity.
Total blind faith can lead you to a whole world of pain.
The story of the Bible is that of a progressive revelation of God, culminiating in his incarnation in Jesus. Even when reading of atrocities by the Israelites, don't forget what life ws like among the "heathens "of the time. I concede the differences between the Old and New Testaments. Christian heretics even went so far as to deny that Yahweh was the God of Jesus Christ, but the message of the New Testament is that Jesus was the deliverer expected by the Jews.
I didn't realize who I was writing to... my apologies. Apparently God is a Freeper since only God can truly say what is good and what is not. Boy, talk about the arrogance of man!

Ahhh... so you haven't read the story. Why didn't you say so in the first place? It would have saved a lot of time.

I like a good debate as much as the next guy but this statement makes it very clear you don't have clue what you're talking about.

Wow... that's bold. Since this statement acknowledges God, I'll ask you... if He doesn't, who does?

We found an area where we can agree. Given your obvious lack of scholarship on issues you adamantly advance, who is the blind one?
All joking aside... this one post clearly shows that you consider yourself God's judge. If you have even a shred of faith, study, reflection and repentence are very much in order. May God bless you.
