My quotes of the Bible are not to preach but to rebuttal.
O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith Jehovah. Behold, as the clay in the potter's hand, so are ye in my hand, O house of Israel. Jer 18:6
But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips. Job 2:10
And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
We assume that we are more than we are and that we know how things should be when we truly know so little. You know nothing of what is to come but claim now is forever. We do not see the end or the beginning. If his judgements for the wicked are just how then is he evil and if his works are for good then how is he wrong and if he is the true God how could you question him?
Yes, evil god. If man did what god either did or commanded to be done in his name, by his will, through his human emissaries, the Jews, it would be evil, sinful and condemned by god.
The 6th commandment thou shalt not murder. So while man can not murder how is it they can be allowed to by god's command, so as to do his will in the midst of that what he has dominion over? And how can god,a supreme being, be possessed of the same negative character flaws that make sinners of humans? Hate, vengeance, genocide, jealousy, commanding kidnapping and rape, etc...
How is it that if thou shalt not kill, and that among other verses are what is referenced by pro-life activists when they claim abortion is murder and against god? While god murdered countless children in Egypt at the time of Moses when he slaughtered the first born of every house, and when he drowned the whole world save for Noah's immediate family? Not to mention, if all is god's will then spontaneous abortion i.e. miscarriage, would make god's will responsible for making him the universal abortionist.
When a god commands lesser beings behave in a manner that god doesn't even aspire to, while god created human nature to be imperfect, in deficit of grace and yet worthy of judgment for our behaving as the flawed sinful flesh he created, while he is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent, then not only is he a poor role model for having created us in his image and likeness, but he's also demonstrates chapter and verse that he's a murdering hypocritical psychopath and egomaniac. No thing that is perfect can create from itself anything that is less than perfect. Unless it is by intent. That makes god evil, because omniscience knows all which means human life is preordained within his sight.
So while you can rebut what you refuse to acknowledge is written in the Bible, it is there none the less.
If god was omnibenevolent, infinitely kind, in his omniscient omnipotence he would not have chosen to make imperfect humans, create sin as their curse for being human and flawed and then created the Book of Life wherein is contained the names of those select people, before their time began, who are to be granted admittance into Heaven. While all others, saved or not, are destined for the Hell of god's creation. All not as a matter of exercise of free will and possible outcomes. But rather all that is predestined because omniscient omnipotence promises as it knew every human before the womb, that it is true.
"In life you can never be too kind or too fair; everyone you meet is carrying a heavy load. When you go through your day expressing kindness and courtesy to all you meet, you leave behind a feeling of warmth and good cheer, and you help alleviate the burdens everyone is struggling with."
