any act of immorality in the bible that i mention to them, i get the response "God has a bigger plan and he see's the bigger picture. we do not understand why these things happened, and no one can understand. No one can understand the mind of God".
i do not know how to reply to that. i feel like there should be an easy answer.. but im just missing it.
any help?
If I loved someone with all my heart, and I used them as a means to a greater end, doesn't that undermine this "love" I have for them? God killing people for the greater good isn't a god that is all-loving.
