@tallliza A good judge must have compete impartiality? really? But u just said the old testament is full of all those bad things... which means you believe they are "wrong". So you are judging the scriptures as a "judge" saying it can't be true because it is full of things you consider bad. Your argument just calapsed on itself.

[tallliza]

@primepua How silly. To be a good judge one must have complete impartiality. A good judge must not hate anything. A good judge follows his book , the penal code. Period. Yes the Old -Testament is full of murder, anger, revenge, jealousy. hate, favoritism, that is why it can never be the word of a loving god.

@tallliza if i love life, i would hate murder. if i love babies, i would hate the idea of abortion. if i love truth, i must hate lies. You can't have love without hate. If you love something then the opposing thing to what u love you will hate. Do you think God should approve of rape? molestation? murder? adultery? stealing? and never get angry? If so, he is not a good God at all. A good judge would make sure justice is served. In order to love what is good, you must hate what is evil.

A wrathfull god cannot be loving, caring, compassionate, just. The wrathfull god belongs to the Old-Testament, which is just a pile of nonsense.

@SpartanCaver Oh, and I forgot to mention in my last comment - ask questions via private messages, not comment sections. Things get nasty in the comments, and it's not really a stage where we can be totally as honest with each other as we might be in messages. So, yeah, thanks a lot bro. Love to talk to you.

[clayhutchins]

@catholichotie And that goes for you too. If you have a hard time wrestling with the Biblical realities of the wrath of God, hit me up with a message.  I'd love discussing it with you, and I hope that you'll thirst after truth and try to apply yourself to the God of the Scriptures.

[clayhutchins]

@SpartanCaver God is not less glorious because he ordains that evil be. He wills that evil pass so that a greater good may come out of it. If this is a hard idea for you to grasp or if you don't really understand how that plays out in certain scenarios, I'd love discussing it with you more, but to be honest, I've grown very weary of long, heated, comment-section arguments. So if you want to hit me up with a few questions, I'd welcome you. There's no closed doors, no "off limits." Ask anything.

a load of crap

Great video! So many people within the church as well as the irreligious today have the santa claus/luck charm approach to Christ.Those that hold this approach in the church do not understand the gospel and those outside the church mearly build a strawman as the below poster.

[SpartanCaver]

And God of the OT has ordered or caused the death of millions including the unborn. Now that is a wrathful God. Wow! So God uses Evil Deeds for His purpose. Does this not make God Evil? Can Goodness and Evil exist in the same deity? Or did God allow Satan to commit the Evil? Then God still uses / allows Evil to be done in His Name. This Matt Chandler is making it up as he goes along. Proof texting as he goes. Why has God never ever healed the amputated? Does anyone brag about unanswered prayer?
