Subject: Biblical support for your statements |
Bible Note: Greetings; You said: "... it is hard to understand how Christian people who claim to be civilized to such an extent that they would not tolerate parents roasting their children in an oven, or roasting or otherwise practicing cruelty to dumb animals, and who claim to have too much love in their own hearts to torture their own children in fire, no matter what the children would do, can truly worship, reverence and love a God who they claim is not even up to their own standards of civilization and love and compassion, and who they claim will eternally torture and torment the great bulk of His human creatures." Very smooth; very glib. But this distortion of God's character reveals more about your beliefs than anything else you've posted. You reduce God to the level of humans and then judge him by human standards. If by "Christian people" you mean Christians, I can assure that this Christian does no such thing. Christians accept God's absolute sovereignty, his perfect righteousness, and his perfect love. In faith, they seek to understand God's wrath within the context of his sovereignty, righteousness, and love. They don't put him in a box and judge him as you have done.
