But I cannot for the life of me figure out what your point is - specifically in this thread.
I should point out that in THIS thread I have used the word "judgement" not in the sense of punishment, but as in "good judgement", like "good sense".
The question was really that, as the story of Saul and David is told b ...[text shortened]... that decision.
There is enough speculation about hellfire and god's wrath in other threads.
You were speaking about how humans created God, and my point about His anger is that
it is unlike anything we do. God's anger is there, it can break out due to our sin
we are being shown grace NOW. Grace is taking place now this is different than the
eternal type. Just to live day to day requires that God gives us grace, because if He was
say fair with us, as soon as we sinned we would find ourselves condemned.
So God has given us grace to protect us from His wrath that is there and will be at some
time released upon all who sin, from the devil and his angels, to each human life here
after the books are opened. That is unless we have received the grace Jesus won for us
by blood He shed when He walked as one of us.
I doubt anyone if they were making up god would go through the trouble of spelling it all
out as it is written in scripture by 40 different people over 1500 years or however long it
took to put the first book together with the last one.
