Straightforward, hard-to-answer-questions about the Bible/Christianity

Christian evangelicals tend to take scripture literally unless context allows otherwise. The less literal one takes scripture, the more one rejects what is written about God so as to interject one's personal views.In understanding God, majesty and designer of the Universe, one must consider what is best for the Universe at large relative to truth, justice, sin, righteousnes and judgement.Perhaps tiny Planet Earth, tucked deep into one galexy among the billions is where the forces of evil in the universe will be dealt with. Revelation 12 seems to indicate so, war being waged in the heavens/cosmos between good and evil. Satan and his angelic army is cast to the earth, having great wrath, soon to be consigned to the Lake of Fire forever.We will never fully understand God aside from the mystery of good and evil. He has a messianic kingdom planned for Planet Earth which explains why he needed to sanctify a land and city for that to be. Thus the calling out of Abraham into Caanan and all pertaining to that bloody history.Relative to Jehovah, the Biblical god who is a jealous god, sooner or later, deception and false gods etc become dangerous and bloody, be it Christian deception as per the Dark Ages or otherwise as per Islam and isms such as secularistic communism, etc. History seems to attest to that.

BUZSAW B 4 U 2 C Y BUZ SAW.
The immeasurable present eternally extends the infinite past and infinitely consumes the eternal future.

I don't support human slavery. I report that it was sanctioned in the OT, nor did Jesus or the apostles condemn it, nor did they express support for it. It was a part of all human cultures on the planet at one time or other. That doesn't mean that I support it. I don't know where you got that notion, Anglagard. God is not the Biblical god Jehovah's proper name. It's a generic word like the word man. These are descriptive words of what an entity is. Jehovah is a god. (aka)Buzsaw is a man. Get it?As well, the Greek word for god, theos is not capitalized, nor is the word Lord/kurios/master or the term, holy spirit. None of these words are proper names which should be capitalized. The translators chose to take it upon themselves to capitalize the names figuring it showed respect. I do capitalize Holy Spirit and God sometimes, depending on how I use them, though I don't think it matters a lot. I'm generally of the opinion that the translators should translate exactly as the manuscript states rather than taking it upon themselves to change what has been inpired by God. (I caped here more or less so not to offend some who don't understand this as I often do) If I said "the god, Jehovah," I do not cap "god."
