They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB)
I thought that God wanted people to love Him sincerely.
Clearly God is forcing people to believe in Him.
And killing? How come God is so vicious and blood thirsty?
Putting so much killing orders in the Bible is just absurd.
Kill gays, kill witches, kill non-believers, kill brats, etc.
Those laws were for Israel but that doesn't disclaim the fact that God made those laws.
Is that a God of love?
So what if the Isreal people were off path from God? Does that make it ok for God to kill kill kill and rape and have slaves and such?
God's evil laws in the O.T. just shows how evil God is not how loving He is.
So why call Him God of love?
