Christians. Why do you respect a God that kills humans and does not denounce slavery?
The Bible often depicts scenes where God kills humans. The largest numbers was with His genocidal flood where all but 8 of millions are killed including children and babies.
We vilify humans like Hitler who use genocide against nations yet in the case of God using the same tactic, we honor Him that much more for doing the right thing. Rather a double standard.
Further reading of scripture shows that nowhere does God speak against slavery or the acquisition of many wives.
In fact we are told how to handle and chastise slaves and wives and unruly children. The best or worse way, depending on your views is here;
Deut21-18
If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: 19 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; 20 And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. 21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
I can see worship of a loving God but the Bible shows a God that is less than loving and in fact it Shows a God that did not create perfect works;
Deuteronomy 32:4
He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
But also does not seem to do much of anything right.
He could not come out of Heaven without bringing Satan with Him and could not get Adam and Eve out of the garden in a way that He would approve of.
So Christians, why do you follow an incompetent killer of men who breaks His own law whenever He likes.
We would not follow a human law maker who broke his own laws. Why do you follow a God that does?
For the record, I do not believe that God has ever killed anyone but most Christians argue against me on that point.
You win now explain why you honor a killer.
