Maybe I should have asked Christians to prove that bible god is different from an abusive lover
God beats the ones he loves. If he doesn't beat you then he doesn't love you. And the more severe the beating the more he loves you.
Hebrews 12:5-7 (TLB) = "5 And have you quite forgotten the encouraging words God spoke to you, his child? He said, “My son, don’t be angry when the Lord punishes you. Don’t be discouraged when he has to show you where you are wrong. 6 For when he punishes you, it proves that he loves you. When he whips you, it proves you are really his child.”
7 Let God train you, for he is doing what any loving father does for his children. Whoever heard of a son who was never corrected?"
An anbusive spouse and father.
