Why do Christians trust YHWH?

[Esquilax]

I think your elastic is at full stretch there esq

Remember we aren't talking about a single author or his particular opinion. Were talking about a constantly reviewed for relevance basis for an entire civilisations belief structure. To compare that to the back bedroom scribblings of some one hit wonder shows desperation on your part.

Jeez, why is this so hard for you to grasp? I fully accept that the biblical authors wished to present god as morally good. I disagree that the actions they depicted match that presentation, and you're still arguing as though the spin and the moral content of the behavior are one and the same.

They aren't. I shouldn't have to tell you why.
