3 reasons for Christians to start questionng their faith

RE: 3 reasons for Christians to start questionng their faith
On another topic which has developed in this thread, the bible does say that god ordered genocide:

“This is what the Lord Almighty says... ‘Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have. Do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’” (1 Samuel 15:3)

You read that right, folks, even donkey's were objects of his wrath! LOL

But, yeah, I'm sure this same god can be completely trusted not to utterly lose his temper again and do something completely irrational and inconsistent with his own policies. I'd totally trust him with eternal salvation. After all, it worked out great for Lucifer and a third of the angels.

Each of those tell of the person/s living out what they practice, something you did not say about your practice. Even though I said to practice baseball is not the same as playing the game, practicing will make for a better player when he is playing. You ever hear of live what you practice or maybe this one "be doers of the word and not hearers only." Living in a relationship with Christ is what separates Christians from all the rest.

Wow. I gotta tell you, I am extremely disappointed. I was really hoping we might enter into a compelling and challenging debate, but you've got nothing to offer that.

And, just so it's clear that this isn't merely some type of cop out, you don't even seem to have a basic understanding of the word "practice". The very quote you use to suggest that "practice" isn't adequate in fact describes practice over inaction.

"be doers (or practitioners) of the word and not hearers only."
