You realize what gospel means right?
The word is all about an account describing the gospel, or the Good News it isn't Paul's
religion. Did you count how many times Paul used that word in other ways like the
examples b ...[text shortened]... which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures.
I said nothing about Pauls gospel being meaningless.
You are a complete idiot.

God is angry, jealous, and vengeful in the OT, regarding the humans that HE created.

Just sharing, in a time of doubt.
But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
Matthew 14:30,31

That’s right sneer through a scripture at the guy who’s struggling
Originally posted by @chaney3 You are equating human beings with parasites and cancer cells?
Supposedly, God created those humans, and according to the Bible, loves them.
Until He kills them.
Well, I was using metaphor to compare us to parasites and cancer cells, sure. But only a willfully obtuse person could walk away from my comment thinking I was being completely literal. And since you apparently don't know when to take something literally or not, it follows that you would struggle with the bible. God loves the human race. Clearly, if the bible is true, God has no problem whatsoever in eliminating those who pose a threat to the human race. Remember. God is apparently able to see into the future, for eternity. He knows the end result--even after the butterfly effect--of every action no matter how inconsequential it may seem. God wiped out most of humanity in order to save the race and the planet. I, we believers, believe that God has good reason to do everything He does.

The Bible is NOT at all "clear" about most things, so please don't come across as arrogantly understanding all of it.
Your reply doesn't make sense, because you're attempting to brush under the carpet what is blatantly obvious: you say God loves the human race, in one sentence......then you follow that up with how God "eliminates" and "wipes out" those very same humans.
This thread is about doubt, and the Bible provides much material to work with to further such doubt.
