Originally posted by vivifyGod ordered the destruction of entire tribes, really, which ones, you have not said? In
"How many did God kill"?
Well, at least a few thousand, since the bible god ordered the killing of entire tribes--multiple times. And when you factor in that the bible god killed the entire earth via a global flood...that would bring the death count up to at least a billion.
So to answer your question: your god's killed about a billion children.
the case of the Canaanite, it was divine judgement for 'polluting the land', with immoral
practices such as child sacrifice of which there is a plethora of archaeological evidence,
in the case of the midianites, God ordered the Israelites not to attack them at all, and
in deed the majority of cases the mandate was to drive the Canaanites out, its only
when they took a stance of war, that they were destroyed making your assertions
utterly ludicrous. About a billion, did you dream that number up like the rest of your
text? let it be noted that you have not addressed a single point in my entire text as to
Gods impartiality, his attempts to reconcile mankind to himself or anything of real
substance. So lets get this, God was responsible for one or two tribes, Hitler directly
or indirectly responsible for tens of millions of people in WWII, thank you for putting
it in perspective for us, we couldn't have done it without you.

He will eventually annihilate everyone on the planet who isn't a JW right? I can't see how that is 'lovingly' anything.?!

Christ, bring destruction upon themselves.
Originally posted by Proper KnobYou have the opportunity to bring your life into harmony with Gods revealed will, its
I know that. I just don't see how murdering me (if i'm still alive come judgement), and the rest of the planet bar a few million JW's, can be construed as 'loving'.
your choice as a free moral agent whether you do so or not and whether its loving,
hmmm, I agree that it seems somewhat macabre, but i dont make the rules 🙂
Originally posted by robbie carrobieYou claimed God 'lovingly' put up with slander, but this is simply not the case. At some point in the future he is going to murder 99% of the human population, how is this 'loving'?

has let the system perpetuate so that all who are disposed may seek him, that is loving
and that is patient,
(2 Peter 3:9) . . .Jehovah is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider
slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire any to be destroyed
but desires all to attain to repentance.

Originally posted by Proper KnobBuild your house on the San Andreas fault and claim that it wasn't your fault when an earthquake tears it down 😕
LOL!!!!!!
So if a gunman enters my house and tells me 'don't run or i will shoot you', at which point i make a run for it and he fires killing me, that's not murder?!
Originally posted by Proper KnobYour analogy fails, too.
An earthquake is the result of natural forces. Murder involves someone making a decision to end someones life. Your analogy fails.
Murder is the unlawful killing of one human by another, especially with premeditated malice.
Malice:
1. desire to cause pain, injury, or distress to another
2. intent to commit an unlawful act or cause harm without legal justification or excuse
God makes the law. God is not a human. God is spirit and light.
Light automatically destroys the darkness when it come near the dark.
