An interesting thing in popular culture is the movies that show murderous gangsters going to church. God & Jesus love that.
My bold. I don't think this is the "God" most Christians believe in. When discerning what God is like, we look mostly to Jesus, His teachings, and the way He lived His life.
The god your church worships has these acts attributed to him ... perhaps that's why y'all ain't sola scriptiura?
I mean, I'd hate to have to defend that stuff too, I get it.
We're touching upon "No True Scotsman" here.
