Re: God doesn't kill little children.
iano: God created us, thus any attribute we have is put into us by him. We might say that what he put into us is equal or usurps what he has/is. But we have no basis for saying that. That we are 'less' than God seems apparent in many ways. There is no reason to think different here.
​
It seems more and more likely, its the other way around.

Re: God doesn't kill little children.
iano: God not being able to do something is not the same as God being restricted by something else from doing something. God cannotlie simply because there is nothing evil in him. Something which has no evil can do no wrong - by his own standard of course. God doesn't set the standard as such. He is it.
​
By that logic, God couldn't kill children either. But it says he did. Isn't that what we call a conundrum?

Re: God doesn't kill little children.
Oh so sorry, I misread. He is really saying that it is OK for God to kill little children. Now why would I want to pray to that SOB?
