Jenwitemi: One does not need any confirmation from Jesus to come to the realization that Yahweh was a bloodthirsty evil maniac gone berserk. Yahweh's word, the bible, was enough.

Evil Brain: What!?! Do you dare suggest that the lord our god, the great killer of Egyptian babies, the creator of Satan, and the eternal torturer of souls is evil?

Where did you get that ridiculous idea from?

ea7: You did. We can continue the discussion if you please.

ea7: So you agree that Yhwh is evil then?

enilove: Yarweh is not the God that tolerates sins.His is not a God that says if your righteousness is more than your evil deeds you will make heaven.
He is not the God that will tolerate a sexual pervert by allowing a 56yrs old to be sexually abusing an innocent child of 9 yrs after 10 wives and gives law that you can marry the divorced wife of your adopted son.And gives the husband the right to beat his wife.His not the God that tolerate idolatery either.

God hates sin but loves us .But any one who refuses to drop his sins is attracting the wrath of God.
In verse 10 of that chapter God told us why he wanted to bring evil upon the people He said "for they no not to do right,they store violence and robbery in their palaces"
Likewise in Nigeria now the rulers are doing theirs ,the people are doing theirs too,the police the politicians the carpenters ,the conductors,the bricklayers,the pepper sellers etc they all want to cheat and make you cry for them to be rich.No more fear of God but scarcity of truth.
When the wrath of God comes you will say "this God is wicked".
Even when God called Abraham ,in Geneses 17:1 He said unto Abraham"I am the Almighty God walk b4 me and be thou perfect.
In ex 34:7 God told Moses"I keep mercy for thousands,forgiving iniquity & transgression and sin & that will by no means clear the guilty;visiting the iniguity of the father upon the childrens children with the 3rd to d 4th generation..
Why did God say this,after bringing the Israelites out of Egypt and divided the red sea in their presence ,the Israelites still went ahead and created an image of calf as their god.God forgave them that tresspass and was warning them before hand again that when the get to the promised land they should destroy all the idol of that land and obey His commandment.
God is a holy God He lives in holy heaven with the holy angels.He will warns b4 He purnishes any disobedience.
In matt 5:48 Jesus Christ said "be thou holy as my father in heaven is holy".The bible says "shall we continue in sin and expect the grace of God to abound?It says"God forbid".
You only read what will suit you and left the other part which says in chapter 5:14 that the Israelites should "seek good ,and depart from evil that they may live;so that the Lord ,the God of hosts shall be with you".Is like you do not expect God to purnish sinners.
It is written in 2 Timothy 3:1-4"that in the last days perilous times shall come......people shall be lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God.
chapter 4: 3"also says "for the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine;but after their own lust shall they heap to themselves teachers ,having itching ears and shall turn away their ears from the truth.

And some if you who sees this forum as an avenue to open your mouth and say abominable things against God,please desist from it b4 it is too late.The devil is using you to destroy other people.The God that could divide the red sea is God the creator of that red sea and the creator of the universe.We only need to obey Him

The anti christ is already at work as you can see.Do not make yourself a scape goat .Etetnal destruction is waiting for any disobedience.
Repentance is what God needs.
God did not creat the devil. The devil made himself to become the devil by his evil imaginations.The devil was an angel before he was casted down to the earth.

Pray and beware before the devil takes you to hell with him.He knows his end is coming and will do everything b4 then to decieve many so that they can be their with him.
Even those that think they are fighting for God by shedding innocent peoples blood.They are all working for the devil ignorantly.

ea7: Can no Christian rebut the bible verses or point me to an alternative interpretation. Davidylan, Mr Buzugee 'Thermonulcear fire' Obadiah', anyone?
