Bible Question: Must not those adhering to the notion of the Trinity, arguing that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are aspects of the same divine being believe it was Jesus as much as his father who directed the atrocities of the Old Testament? That it was Jesus as much as his father who says “I will make my arrows drunk with blood, while my sword devours flesh: the blood of the slain and the captives.” And it was Jesus as much as his father who tells his people they will plunge their feet in the blood of their foes, while the tongues of their dogs have their share. |
Bible Answer: Atrocities? No doubt the righteous judgements of the Creator might seem such to a sinner, or babe in Christ, but... Would the pot call the hands of the potter, dirty? He is the potter. We are the clay. If He should utterly distroy us, who are we, what are we? Would such distruction be atrocious? If man ever managed to create "andriods" such as is depicted in Science Fiction, and those droids were to rebel, would their distruction be atrocious? Would man be gracious enough to put up with their rebellion for thousands of years? Would you be able to send your one and only son to them, watch them torture and murder him, then allow them to continue their vile existance? In His "loving grace and mercy", He has. |
