"Definition of a Good Work:
Good works are “good” things (according to the Bible definition of good) which are
done heartily in obedience and love to God, for his glory, in an attitude of faith and thanksgiving
(Col 3:23, John 15:14 & Mat 28:20, John 14:15, 1 Cor 10:31, Rom 14:23 & 3 John
1:5, Col 3:17)."
Well, I guess every mass genocide that has ever occurred for the purpose of obedience and love to him was a "good" action. That clears it all up. Pretty screwed up god IMO.

Oh, there you atheists go again, opening the Bible and reading what it says. That's not how you determine that Yahweh is good. You're trying to judge goodness by his actions and the things he commands. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
We define good as consistent with Yahweh's nature and that's how we know Yahweh is good because Yahweh always wills what Yahweh always wills. So if Yahweh willed a genocide, that genocide must be good because it was Yahweh's will. Duh!

OK, I feel dirty now. I'm going to take a shower.
