I see...
So the word "loving" must be redefined to accomodate the sadistic and tyranical actions attributed to God in the Old testament....
Maybe.... just maybe... those who scribed the Old Testament attributed some pretty nasty things to God which were really not so, and love really doesn't need to be redefined after all.
God himself says that He is love. God kills people, sometimes in ways that trouble us as we look at things from our limited human viewpoint. Whose viewpoint is correct?
OWK insists that his is. God giggles.
(Full Disclosure: I have no idea if God has actually giggled at OWK. He hasn't told me about this one way or the other. I suppose I'm saying that if I were God, I would be giggling at OWK right now.)
