God does not determine right and wrong

[Nay_Sayer]

Nations were punished by god for supposedly killing their children....by killing the children of those nations. How does this make sense? Pretty sure it was more about worshiping other deities, than doing anything else.

Either God is too merciful in our opinion or too harsh. But it's not like we know everything, especially from a brief outline of history, so making serious judgments about God, to the point of blasphemy is not very bright at all.

That sort of taps into one of the frightening things about religion.  We all know rape, murder, torture to be wrong. But since God is totally and obviously made up, whoever wants to can just say that God wants them to behave in an immoral way.

That's been done forever.

It doesn't sound right, are you just guessing?

Maybe your god.   I have never been disgusted with mine.

What is your god?

You are one sick individual, you know that?  You either believe these people were real people, but can’t think of them as people because it threatens your  precious Yahweh, therefore allowing you to rationalize killing babies, or deep down you know the stories are fiction, and you’re lying.  Let me ask you, Banned:  are you pro-choice or pro-life?  I’ll advise you to consider what you wrote above before answering.

I'm not sure what you are on about.

The Bible doesn't tell the reader what to think about these stories, it just states the event, and it is up to the reader to judge what went on...

Some will see nothing but injustice in God's actions, others will see a pathetic situation bought on by people, and an end to their cruelty, on themselves, their own children and on innocent strangers.

They had many generations of life granted to them, up to this climactic time, when the evil and misery they produced was intolerable, and God knew that they would never have recovered or wanted to repent of it.

As the giver and sustainer of life, he has every right not to continue the existence of an unrepentant murderer.

But the fickle and uninformed will say, "Poor people."
Yes, they are poor, poor enough for God to give his Son for them, but they were so poor they never wanted redemption, and chose the ways that lead to death.

That's a website you nimrod, not a false religion.

BTW Mr. biblical scholar, that's Revelation 14:12,: http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/rev/14.html

According to what you say most of the Christians here are false Christians. Am I reading that correctly?

I was commenting on your words prior to the link.

I have said in other threads that the churches of the world have become a playground for Satan and his hosts.
So yes, the majority of congregations are kept in the dark about God's law. This does not condemn them, but it doesn't help them.
It is predicted in the Bible that they will be made aware of their situation before the end of time.

The only one that's real, duh.
