1 | How our Loving God commanded such things | Bible general Archive 2 | jlpangilinan | 126200 | ||
To: Tim Moran, Makarios, Hank, Ray, Emmaus. I hope you were around. How a Loving and just God commanded such things? 1Sa 15:3 Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. We can maybe assume that amalek was very evil person, how about the infants? Eze 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. Why the must kill the infants? they unskilfull about righteousness. Heb 5:13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. God bless, |

This topic has been handled pretty thoroughly in the past. One good discussion starts with Post No 118345, between Just Read Mark, Rowdy and Kalos. It seems God is God and we are His creation. As the Potter, He can do anything He likes with us clay pots. Blessings to you. Country Girl |

Hi Country Girl, I don't think that jlpangilinan would deny God the right to break any pots that He has made. However, it is difficult for many to see God's love in His "power of wrath", especially if God's justice and name (authority) is not understood. From the heart, Ray |

Speaking as a parent, it's difficult like you say for a child to truly love, see and understand love like the parent would prefer UNTIL the child learns to respect the parent. In the same way, we as God's children must respect Him for Who He is and What He represents then we should find it easier to love Him AND see His love for us. It's a growth process. Some folks never learn very much Godliness from this process. Others learn a tremendous amount and become great leaders in their generation of christians about them. Me, I'll settle for being somewhere in between. This is sometimes a rather difficult subject to deal with especially for those of us going through a lot of suffering, pain and anguish. We don't really want to believe that God would allow all this bad stuff happen to us, even upon reading the story of Job. That's just another Book in our Bible but to Job, his friends and family, it was a very real story and it really did happen just exactly like God tells it. So, the bottom line is: We're NOT going to get a nice, easy "comfortable" answer to questions like this. We either have to accept God's supreme sovreignty or not. We can choose to accept His Love or reject it. This is all made plain in the Books of Genesis and Job. Blessings to you. Country Girl |
