And parts where God isnt so loving ( slaying entire nations of people with fire )Then you know what the Bible says about God's heart for the poor and the oppressed (James 1:27) and the rich and oppressive (James 5:1-6), that God commands His people not to store up riches for themselves (Matthew 6:19-20) but to give up what you have to serve others (Isaiah 58:6-7). So if this is God's heart and His people's mission, why is there still poverty and oppression? One large part of that answer has to be that those of us who are fortunate have not lived according to the purpose that He has for us, and that our comfortable lifestyles directly or indirectly cause suffering. In which case, should your questions be addressed to God, or to ourselves?
