Cowboy, by your own excuses that you gave for the reason those people in the Bible were all slaughtered without mercy..by order of YOUR GOD, because they refused to worship the God of Abraham and instead worshiped Baal. That is EXTORTION. They were warned and that warning was a threat. And so you say it was their own fault.  It was their own fault because they refused to be intimidated and threatened by some entity that was claiming to be the almighty god and demanding to be worshiped. That is proof to me that Jehovah is a false god. There is no threats lol. Is the government threatening us with the laws we are given? No, they are given to keep civil order. Not threats, just enlightenment to the rules and regulations. And nothing about anything or anyone being "intimidated" by God. God doesn't wish to intimadate anyone. He wants a relationship with each and everyone of us. People choose to turn away from God, not God turning away from the people. And eternal life is only through God, so if one turns away from God, they then are turning away from the possible gift of eternal life. It's not God killing them or anything, just missing out on the gift of eternal life. We are not born naturally eternal. We lost our eternal self in the garden of Eden because of our disobedience. |

Cowboy now you have floated off into la la land and are waxing spiritual and ideologically. There is nothing wrong with that kind of thinking but it is not addressing the specific question that Spider is asking.
So Getting back down to earth and the literal meaning of this entity written about in the Jewish Bible called "The God of Abraham..." and the demands he placed on his followers... what does the Bible say about this entity? He was a strict and jealous God of war. He was short on mercy and short on forgiveness although occasionally he did show some of that to some of his loyal followers. But not much. If you disobeyed him, the punishment was death. If you worshiped another God, the punishment was death. I'm sorry, I don't like this war lord. I don't take him as the almighty God. |

Oh but God is not short on mercy. God is ever merciful. You forget also God is God of love. And he's never short on forgiveness. |
