OLAADEGBU: What part do you object to here? is it the moral bankruptcy or the lack of conscience displayed by those defending heinous actions? Where have I claimed a moral righteousness? I am not the one defending a vengeful bloodthirsty deity who exhorts its followers to "dash the heads of babies against rocks". 1 Like |

tartar9: His own is just obvious. There are many of them, and they are usually more subtle and they know how to form holiness to the point that you will think that they're the only good and decent people on this planet. Luckily we have Olaadegbu to expose the true repulsiveness of it all. 1 Like 1 Share |

cloudgoddess: The nature of the holy God and the sinful nature of human beings are like a burning fire and dried leaf respectively. It is natural for fire to consume any dry leaf because if its nature. God is a consuming fire and it will do you good to come under the covering of our Lord Jesus Christ who prevents burning. The Son prevents burning. |

Muafrika2: I've discovered that many of these folks accusing God are actually on the other side of the spectrum. They are enemies of the Cross. |

Sarassin: What do you base your moral values on? Why don't you come out and tell us who you actually worship in secret before you start pointing accusing fingers at your Creator? |
Re: Why Did God Condone Such Terrible Violence In The Old Testament? by OLAADEGBU(m): 2:10pm On May 14, 2016 |
PastorAIO: Why are you ashamed to reveal who you actually worship? Why do you deceive the gullible with the username of a pastor? If there's one thing this thread has achieved it is the revelation of the enemies of Christianity who are now creeping out of the woodwork in droves. |

OLAADEGBU:No, man is not bound to worship anyone or thing, you just obviously think it ought to be that way. |

OLAADEGBU: hehehe.....leading yourself down the garden path...again. It is not my moral values being queried here, rather it is yours, perhaps you care to explain to us all why you see fit to worship a deity with genocidal tendencies who commands its followers to dash the heads of little babies against rocks so they don't "grow up to be like their sinful parents"? |

sweetcocoa: We are created to love God with all of our being. If you don't love God then something else must take His place. Is it addiction to sex, booze, the love of money, your appearance, position, prestige or power? What do you love above your Creator? |
Re: Why Did God Condone Such Terrible Violence In The Old Testament? by Nobody: 2:38pm On May 14, 2016 |
OLAADEGBU: Well, let's see now. Last time I checked I have neither committed genocide nor instigated ethnic cleansing, I have not advocated slavery nor demonised homosexuality. More importantly I do not venerate a deity who commands these things. You see, when you are in a hole the first thing you do is to stop digging. You need only admit that the practices enshrined in the OT were abhorrent practices of a bye-gone era and have no direct emphasis on the message of Christianity today. Simpler said than done for you literalist blind-faith types. What moral imperatives could possibly exist for you to maintain your ridiculous position that the violence in the OT remains justified? 3 Likes |

OLAADEGBU:Ok. Poetic threats don't really hold any weight when their basis has still not been proven to be anything other than human imaginations gone haywire. And your "all consuming fire" metaphor could easily be used to represent the affect of religious brainwashing on healthy human minds. At least then it would actually be substantiated. 1 Like |

Sarassin: You spoke too soon. Answer these moral questions and lets see where you stand on your moral high chair: Have I always loved God my Creator with all my heart, mind, soul and strength? ____YES ___NO Have I made a god in my own image? a god to suit myself? ____YES ___NO Have I ever used God's name in vain? ____YES ___NO Have I kept the Sabbath holy? ____YES ___NO Have I always honoured my parents implicitly? ____YES ___NO Have I murdered (God also considers hatred as murder)? ____YES ___NO Have I committed adultery (including premarital sex and lust)? ____YES ___NO Have I stolen (the value is irrelevant)? ____YES ___NO Have I lied (including fibs and these questions)? ____YES ___NO Have I coveted (been greedy or materialistic)? ____YES ___NO 1 Like 2 Shares |

OLAADEGBU: Such a sly fox, In truth you would have made a great Pharisee of the day. A card carrying member of the clan who wore their observances on their sleeves with empty hearts, and what does my answering your infantile questions prove? Your best case scenario is to deem me totally immoral to which I say fine. So now, you can perhaps answer my original question. What is the moral imperative for your devotion to the brutal genocidal one true jealous God who visits the iniquities of the Father on to the Son and even up to the fifth generation? we await your answer. 1 Like |

Sarassin: Good. Since you admit that your hands are not clean then you are not qualified to sit on a moral high throne to judge the holy and righteous living God. |
Re: Why Did God Condone Such Terrible Violence In The Old Testament? by Nobody: 4:08pm On May 14, 2016 |
OLAADEGBU: Really? and what about those who speak with a forked tongue? You're such a sly fox, I asked what is "your" moral imperative for worshipping such a brutal deity, or perhaps you don't consider the brutal actions in the OT reprehensible? |
Re: Why Did God Condone Such Terrible Violence In The Old Testament? by OLAADEGBU(m): 4:14pm On May 14, 2016 |
Sarassin: That is begging the question. Who told you He is a brutal deity? God kills billions not millions if you must know. The Scriptures reveal that He is the ultimate Judge. Every human being will die because He proclaimed the death sentence on the entire race. It is His Word that says "the soul that sins shall die." Do the maths. Ten out of ten die, and our death is proof that in His eyes the best of us are wicked criminals, justly deserving capital punishment. |

I'm ambivalent about the answer on one hand it seems good. OTOH I think it rubber-stamps great evils done by God in the OT. |
