so " paul starts in romans 1 identifying what Evil is and How God deals with Evil people. " -  how a just and fair and loving God should "deal with evil people" is to apologize for the suffering that he created for humanity and spending the rest of eternity making up for it - not sending his confused innocent creations to eternal torture ... so the god of your bible created evil put his innocent creations in a world he allowed to be corrupted by evil and allowed the people to be deceived by evil and sin and then is going to judge them for sinning and being decieved by the evil that he put here ...



ok go on

Biblical sin is nothing more than disobeying what you've been told to do or not do.  If the God character tells you to gut and roast an entire town it's not a sin to do that.  It's a sin if you don't do it.  It's a sin for Jews to charge other Jews interest.  It's perfectly acceptable for them to gouge Gentiles with high interest rates.  Jesus said so.  Rape isn't a sin if it's done under the right circumstances.  

Evil is simply disobedience.  Cain wasn't evil or sinful when he killed Abel because God never said that he couldn't kill him.  Abraham got a gold star because he killed Isaac although he lied to get Isaac in a position to kill him.  Of course in the fairy tale the crazy old coot didn't kill Isaac, he just did everything necessary to do it.  Later on Jesus said that if you think it you've done it.

i wonder what drich will have to say (if he ever returns to his abandoned bible study) about the difference between the god of the old testament and the new testament if jesus is god and if god doesnt change jesus - god is completely different than OT god . jesus does not seem like god in the OT at all actually the opposite of god in the OT . well at least its consistently illogical
