How do we know God is "Good"?

Pink Sasquatch,Ezekiel 23 is a metaphorical description of the sin (and punishment) of Jerusalem and Samaria. Verse 4 says: Emphasis mine.

Schrafinator,The truth is we don't know exactly how much suffering and fear occurred. We can only speculate.IMO, God could just as easily (and most likely did) have miracled a quick and painless death for all of the innocent babies that you are so concerned about.The bible describes the condition of mankind (with the exception of Noah and his family) to be one in which their thoughts were continually evil. I think if he spared the innocent babies from this it was a good act.

Hi Pink Sasquatch! I do not know.It is interesting to note, though, that the use of a woman to describe God's people is employed in the New Testament as well.Also, Jeremiah 6:2 says:

Hi Ifen,While I realize that you have much zeal for your theories about the origins of life, earth, etc., please note that this is a thread about "How do we know God is 'Good'".
