"Either the God you worship cannot be reconciled with the notion of a just and loving God. Or Those who chronicled his exploits, misattributed great evil to him."

Or

OWK's "notion of a just and loving God" is deficient. See my previous. Who holds all power over life and death?

So, your definition of a "just and loving God" is one that concurs with the slaughter of children in order to teach the offending adults a lesson? I fail to see how you can twist the word "just" to include a scenario where one individual is punished for the sins of another.

Yeah... that must be it.

Smashing innocent children to a flaming death on the side of a building to pay for the sins of another, is "just and loving".

But my understanding is deficient.

Absolutely sick.
