Nicely argued video.

Not only does the 'God' character admit he creates 'evil' in Isa 45:7, but also that he uses 'evil'(Jer 18:11) and speaks 'evil'(1Kin 22:23), so how he be reasonably described as all good, loving or moral?

Those aren't isolated quotes, there are similar ones in Mic 2:3, 2Sam 12:11, 1Kin 14:10, 2Kin 21:12, Jer 6:19, Jer 35:17, Jer 44:2, Jer 45:5 and Jer 48:37. You can also find third hand accusations of his 'evil' in Jos 23:15. Mic 1:12, 1Kin 9:9, 2Kin 6:33 and Neh 13:18.

@oromuisca (3) - Bible are accurate. It is one of the root causes of the various doctrinal splits between the various Christian sects.

"The God I believe in is Energy"

Then, I will agree that it can't be the Christian God that has been described to me on several occasions. Since, the being that was described was neither matter nor energy.

---Personal Opinion---

Though, I don't I see your definition of God as useful since your merely replacing one word with another.

@oromuisca (2) - Jews a long time ago is beyond me. Maybe, people back then didn't think about it, or the story of Adam and Eve that starts in Genesis Chapter 2 is meant to convey a moral lesson rather than be taken as a historical narrative.

I do agree with your interpretation of the story, but it is only one of many interpretations of the story. Which is one of the main problems for Christianity. People can agree on which if any of the interpretations of various stories and verses in the

@oromuisca (1) - Well, not being a Christian myself I can only offer you answers based on my understanding of the faith, but not all Christians agree concerning doctrinal points nor on how to interpret various stories and verses in the Bible.

As far as the two creation stores in genesis. It should be noted that Genesis wasn't likely written by a single author, but multiple authors and that the stories were woven together in some sort of compromise. Why this error wasn't corrected by the
