If you are selling your deity as all-loving and all-forgiving then I expect to see unequivocal evidence for this. Unfortunately the only book you have at your disposal is not your friend in this regard.

He is Love, and forgiving, He is also just, sin will be dealt with, it cannot be over looked,
so He paid the price for our sins.

You condemn God for the very thing you allow yourself to do! When it is personal views
of how things should be, you pull out your views and say they are so just, by condemning
Him. Putting yourself above God, and for that matter everyone else, who would do with
their own as they see fit. So yes, I get you are holding God accountable for His actions,
and making the claim He isn't loving or forgiving as you do it, because you would do it
differently.

I'll take that book over what you have displayed so far by condemning others for things
you do.

So by 'hold accountable' you basically mean 'have the power to do what you like'. But I think you are confusing 'might' with 'right'.

So are you saying God does not have right to do as He sees fit? 🙄

I recently attended a Christian bible study group. There were two people in the group who knew very little about the Bible, God and Jesus.

Did you go there to cause them to see that they knew very little ?

No. I was invited at short notice, and decided to go. I had no idea who would be there.

I asked you what gave him such a right and your response was 'just try and stop him'. ie you believe might makes right.

Yet, you are holding God accountable for His actions, but your actions and His in this case
mirror one another. You are doing to God what you accuse Him of, His judging others.

He is doing it with His own creation, so being the King of His Kingdom, He creates
everything in His own Kingdom, and sets down all of the laws within it, laying out how it
should work, and you reject this as God's right.

Yet you look at someone else, NOT in your kingdom, not created by you, who owes you
nothing for His existence, and say He needs to be doing things differently, He should not
judge what others are doing, all the while you are judging Him.

I do, I just don't think you see what you are doing by saying the things you have.

I see you have difficulty comprehending the concept where God, the author of life, makes the rules that govern it.

I hope God exists sir. I don't think that he does, but I hope it nonetheless.

However, If God does exist, I don't think you know Him at all. I really don't.

If God exists, you wrong Him greatly with your human understanding.

Well, don't know where that came from. It doesn't matter either, because we are not to
judge each other for with whatever judgment we use will be used on us.

I'm not the best example of anything, and don't claim to be. I freely admit I need Jesus
Christ, because I fall so short. I do my best, but acknowledge my best does not measure
up, so without a doubt I need His love and grace.

If God were to exist why do think he would not reveal His nature in the scriptures?

If God exists He wouldn't trap Himself in a dusty book, open to misinterpretation.

I'm glad you have God Kelly. I just think you have a lot to learn about Him.
