If mankind refuses to repent, then there must be judgment. <BR/>For example, if God never judged Adolf Hitler for the atrocity of killing 6 million Jews, if God's patience with Hitler went on forever without justice, we would cry out against God.

I've always found the Christian God to be silly and selfish they way he's described (funny, that I would be so pedantic and still automatically use 'he' when referring to God) (It's also funny that I would type that whole thing out instead of just changing it)Bloodiest of Ladieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11643033437248862963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117263.post-1142622177242442172006-03-17T14:02:00.000-05:002006-03-17T14:02:00.000-05:00Trudy,I believe you misunderstand the Bible's teac...Trudy,<BR/>I believe you misunderstand the Bible's teaching on God. Yes, God is a God of justice as well as love, but God is not a "vengeful" God. It's interesting you bring this up, because I'm working on a sermon for this Sunday on "How Could a Loving God Destroy People?" To give a very short summary of my sermon, God does not desire that anybody should perish.

I have a great (sometimes to the point of being irrational) distaste for people who lie about such things.

Apparently some folks have no regard at all for how things really are. They seem more interested in using a set of facts to support their position even if they have to twist the truth until it breaks.
