Untrue. Your god not only turned his back on the whole of mankind not once, but twice, he has commanded the genocide of entire communties. If that's not hatred, than Hitler was just acting-up and and just sort of disliked the Jews.
Quote:What God does hate are the sinful actions of man not man himself.
Untrue. If your god only hated sin, he wouldn't be burning the soul of a man for eternity - he'd be punishing Satan, sin, etc. etc. No no .. he hates men who do not fear him and refuse to accept him as their supreme dictator.
Quote:If it were true that God hated anyone then he would not have sent his Son to redeem mankind, that would be a great contradiction and as you stated yourself God is not moderate, he sent Christ for all and not just for a special few.
Untrue. Matthew 7:13 declares that his salvation is only for a select group and the other 100 billion of us are going to burn forever.
Quote:You judge God on the actions of his fallible followers, none of us are close to perfect ...
Untrue. I judge your god by the words he supposedly writes in his old book. Your god has damned himself --- his followers are just evidence of the unjust nature and immorality of your god.
Quote: but if you must pick people to judge God by find those who are actually doing what Christ teaches. That would however require you to come to some kind of a understanding of his teachings through scripture.
Once again, this is your own improvable biased opinion. Many of us have far more knowledge and understanding of the scriptures than you do and telling us that our lack of understanding is why we don't understand is a tired old cop-out.
