Why would God?

[Bob Kelso]

Wait a minute here, you're saying I can't use part of how God communicates with people, you really believe that's fair? What if I said you had to prove nuclear fusion to me but you could not use any text, kind of unfair wouldn't you say.

Plenty of other resources in science. One could find an amiable scientist who could demonstrate the concept/mathematics/experimental process, completely fair. The bible is the claim not the proof.

God's conviction was through His word, through reading the scriptures God started working with me. I found myself seeing that I was in need of forgiveness of my sin and eventually committed myself to Jesus. This started my road to a relationship with God, as I grew in the relationship God continually showed me who He is, this came through experiencing the things God promises and through answered prayer and ect.

Was this truly a god answering your prayers or things that simply happened in your favor and therefore a god did it?

The age is different for each some understand before others, as for the mentally handicapped that would be determined by severity and their ability to understand.

Care to tell us how you have this insider knowledge of how god chooses which children and mentally disabled to send to hell?

You really believe you're more forgiving, would you allow you son to die a death no on should have to suffer, would you allow him to give up all the advantages he had to be able to live a life he was completely a stranger to, a life of destitution and hardship, a life where most only wanted the physical things he could give them and not care about the forgiveness he was offering. Could you forgive these people for their treatment of your son, and that's just for starters.

I'm certainly more forgiving. If I was an omnipotent god I would figure out a better way to save humanity than using my son/self as a scapegoat in the first place. Not to mention not blaming people for not taking a 2000 year old fallible work of literature on it's word.

There is nothing perfect about life and God says because of the sin in the world that's the way it will be to the end of time, sin brought in the imperfection and until time runs it's course it will be with us. God has no choice but to let things happen, we have caused this not God, He however is going to make everything right.
Let's look at a suffering child, one who gave up His royalty to live as a suffering servant, who willingly died a death no one should suffer let lone One who was perfect in all ways. Why did He do this so, that one day in the future no one would have to suffer ever again and this comes through the acceptance of what He did for us.

See the above post about a supposedly limitless being finding other ways to do things. Your god seems oddly close minded for one that's suggested to know everything.
