god knew that this king was wanting to kill Jesus Christ so i would`ve thought that this all powerful, all knowing all present, all loving all merciful god would have handled this situation a little better?
What makes you think God is all loving and all merciful? If we are discussing the God of the bible (the book you have pulled your quote from) then we need book chapter and verse to establish an all loving and all merciful God.
Quote: first thing why not just create a king that doesn`t want to kill the divine son of god?Because at the time of Christ's birth, satan had power over this world as witnessed by the temptations of Christ. (It wouldn't be much of a temptation if what satan offered was not his to deliver.)
Quote:why do the wise men have to pretty much leave everything and everyone behind that they love and care for instead of god just inducing a heart attack on the evil king and before the king corrupts his son that would take his?I think your confused for the reason the wise men came to Christ's side. They left to worship the coming king. Their first stop was the region's king because logically they would have thought he was born to him. When they told Herod the reason they were there he was enraged. It was their efforts to worship that set Herod off.
Quote: Or hell he is pretty good at mass genocide why not just use that shit right there and take out Jerusalem or just idk talk to them rationally and let them know what was going down or something I mean geese he god right?because mass genocide was used to establish an earthly realm. Christ repeatedly said He was not here to set up an earthly realm.
Quote:Instead the wise men have to runaway then Joseph has to take his newborn demi god and run and hide while herod send his army to kill EVERY CHILD 0-2 YEARS OLD IN BETHELAHAM AND ALL THE COASTS THEREOF? WTF? THEN HE JUST KINDA LIVES OUT HIS LIFE AND DIES. So then has to secretly tell them that it is safe to go to Israel. They figure out that herods son took over so they went to Nazareth like a sharp left turn cause the all knowing god must not have saw that coming! Anyone wanna defend this story cause this just seems like a bad cia movie.Look a little deeper. If you and your family were happy and safe where you were after fleeing from a monster, would you up root to the news that the son of the man you ran from was now in power?
Now lets see how open that mind really is..
