Nazi killed people in concentration camps and piled them.
What is the connection between bad or good things happening to us that is directly
connected to God loving us?
Do you believe that God only loves those of us that only has good things happening?
Do you believe that God hates those that have bad things happen?
Do you believe that God is so fickle that He stopped loving during the bad things, but his
emotions flip when good things occur again?
The good and bad things that occur to us in this life has nothing to do with how God feels
about us! This life and all the things in it are here for a short time, we take nothing with us
when we leave this place. If you were to gain the whole world you could still lose your
soul.
As I have told you before the sun shines on the good and bad, the rain pours on the
righteous and unrighteous. Having something bad happen does not mean God doesn't
cherish your life and it most certainly doesn't mean He doesn't love you.
Do you believe the Father God loved His Son Jesus and look at what they did to Jesus!
Do you believe God loved the early church and look at what happen to many of them!
If you are trying to find the correlation between God's love for us and what takes place
on this planet, look at Jesus! Jesus died for us while we were yet sinners, not when we
made ourselves good enough!
So when looking at the worth of anyone before God don't look at them, instead look at
Jesus He died and rose from the grave for them. There is where you see the measure
of God's love for us!

My question to you: how do you know the Bible is true at all?
The egyptians had a version before we did.

You are letting God off the hook.
You asked me some questions I answered them.
If you have more questions, ask, if you want to accuse God of something spell it out.
If you disagree with any of my points, point to your areas of disagreement.
I'm not a mind reader, so you will have to be specific.

Originally posted by chaney3By and large, I find the words attributed to Jesus while He walked the Earth to be reasonably sound and reasonably coherent within themselves. What's more, I find much of what was attributed to Him to be remarkably deep and quite profound. As such, by and large, I find the words attributed to Jesus while He walked the Earth to be "true".
It is my belief that you have a profound understanding of the Bible.

I don't share that view of the mythology and beliefs that the NT writers wrapped around them. At best, they can merely echo His words. At worst, they deviate from His words and at times substantially so.
I certainly don't share that view of many of the beliefs espoused by many Christians - many of which are antithetical to what Jesus taught while He walked the Earth.
