It is, at times, perplexing to see God's justice and righteous judge nature displayed in the Old Testament writings as the same aspects of the God of the New Testament. However, Jesus explained that (under the fulfilled law of the New Testament), ALL judgement was ascribed to Him (Jesus) and that God would not judge people anymore. John Ch. 5 V. 22 "For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:"

Plainly speaking, God's judgement of the wicked is performed by self-judgement. We have the Word before us which is primarily: 1. To love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and 2. To love others as we love ourselves.
We are only given the capacity to judge ourselves relative to that word...

We are only given the capacity to judge ourselves relative to that word...

Presuming that God created me, he created me as a rational being. If he wishes me to offer my devotion to him, then he must demonstrate himself to be worthy of that devotion.

The evidence which is presented to me as testimonial evidence of God and his actions, is called by it's expositors... "The Holy Bible". In this book, I read that God kills the innocent children of Egypt, because he's pissed off at the King. I read that God inflicts all manner of painful and horrific diseases on his faithful servant Job, in a bet with the devil. I read that God floods the entire world, killing all of the innocent children, because he thinks none of them are worthy of living. I read that God demands that Abraham kill his firstborn son, as demonstration of his devotion.

I look at these things, and I ask myself objectively.... Is this how a benevolent and loving God would behave?

Reason says otherwise.
