Do you recognize that God gains pleasure in creating evil?

[Drich]

Problem is not with God, it is with the people who pick and choose what they need to create an image of God after their own hearts.

As you are doing with this verse that doesn't sit right with you...huh?

For the words are there, and concise.

Except when they aren't, and you're the arbitrator of such situations, aren't you? I too think that the words are there, and that they are concise, the words stating that god created evil are there, and the meaning of those words is concise.

where you all seem to get hung up is in the numbers that denote Chapter and verse. Understand these numbers were not apart of the orginal texts, and the do not denote complete thoughts.

Didn't realize that anyone was hung up on this at all, actually I don't think I've ever complained about how any given verse was numbered, here I am talking about exactly what the text says and you think my problem is with the fucking dewel decimels attached? No, I call bullshit, you're attempting to mount a diversion...again.

They are a study guides for students of the bible to find and mark passages and nothing else.

And?

I have noticed in the beginning of our discussions you often addressed my points with actual counter points asking and challenging reference material. Now it seems more and more, all you can do is try and trivialize what is said and move to dismiss without even addressing what was said.

Probably because you have noticed that most of your efforts go unchallenged. My question to you is how is this a discussion at this point? I make a statement and either offer to or simply list out proper reference material and you respond like this:" See the above. Complete fucking bullshit, as usual." This is a cut and paste of some of your better work. (Recently) Is this now your best offering? Is this all you can do? If it is, why do you feel so threatened by what i have to say to even type this drivel out? what's the point? Why not let me assume that this is your response (or one like it) and only pipe up when you have something different to offer?

Because to be honest when I see your smiling dog avatar it's a coin toss on whether or not I am going to read what you have to say, because more or less it is the same crap ad nauseam... Seriously can't you write something that does not appeal to my pride or vanity for a response? How about this, try and address the topic at hand or i stop reading what you have to say for a few weeks to give you a chance to gather your thoughts and construct a decent reply. I know it's work, but know I am not asking anything more of you, than what I am will to provide for you.
