Answer 1

The Creator may do as He pleases with His created, and it is not for His created to question Him.

We were put here to learn the wisdom of not rebelling against Gods will, I see that some people are slower to learn than others.

This I believe;

Answer 2

Nimrod killed the firstborn sons of God's chosen people, the Jews, because he was unable to control their growing population. Nimrod was a man.

The Spirit of God moved through Egypt and killed all the Egyptian firstborn as a punishment for enslaving the Egyptians.

Yeah, I praise God, but Nimrod is dead.

Answer 3

Said in gentle seriousness, is there a question here?

(You sound more like you're just trying to make a point, rather than actually being curious...)

The gist is that the Israelites were in Egypt for over 400 years, with at least half of that spent in slavery. This is longer than black enslavement in the US, and from the description was just as despicable, dehumanizing, and cruel as the slavery we practiced.

Pharaoh was asked to let the Israelites go into the wilderness to worship and refused... even when the plagues began. In fact, he increased the labor of the Israelites past all rationality, as revenge. The first plague, Pharaoh had Moses remove it (the frogs), then turned on him. He continued to harden his own heart for the next few as well.

After a few plagues, God occassionally hardened Pharaoh's heart because he knew that Pharaoh giving in would only be out of self-interest (i.e., to stop the plagues) rather than because he really wanted to love God or treat the Israelites like human beings.

The final plague was the death of the firstborn. Any door marked with the blood of the sacrificial lamb would not be entered. Theoretically perhaps the Egyptians could have chosen to believe and repent (based on all the plagues that had already happened), but they did not... including Pharaoh himself.

Note that much later Jesus acted as the "first-born" and the sacrificial lamb in order that people would understand the severity of what it meant to one's relationships when they take God out of the picture. It was also so that we could understand how much God was willing to give/suffer for our sake out of love.

So, to respond to your question, he didn't do anything here that he wasn't willing to do as well to himself. Any pain we suffered along the way, he shared with us as well.

You might see that as sadistic, or you might be overwhelmed by the compassion of it, but that's your choice to make.

Answer 4

Actually nothing because the bible has no new ledgens their all ledgens that existed long before the bible existed and they were incorprated in to it to give it crediability want a few examples ..
1.The story of a Great Flood sent by God or the gods to destroy civilization as an act of divine retribution is a widespread theme in myths. The stories of Noah and his ark in Genesis, Matsya in the Puranas scriptures of Hinduism, and Utnapishtim in the Epic of Gilgamesh are among the most familiar versions of these myths. A large percentage of the world's cultures past and present have stories of a "great flood" that devastated earlier civilizations.
2. Healing: Jesus is recorded throughout the gospels as healing the sick and restoring the dead to life. So was Asclepius, a Greek god man. Pagans and early Christians debated who was the more effective healer.
Ministry: Jesus appeared as a wandering holy man who is later transfigured in the presence of some of his disciples. Dionysus was portrayed in the same manner in Euripides' play The Bacchae, written in 410 BCE.
Miracles: Both Jesus and Empedocles were recorded as teaching spiritual truths, curing illness, foretelling the future, controlling the wind and rain, and raising people from the dead.
Both Mithra and Jesus performed many healings of the sick and mentally ill; both raised the dead. 3
Mark, chapter 5 describes Jesus driving demons from a man into a herd of about 2,000 pigs who rushed over a cliff and drowned. In Eleusis, about 2,000 initiates would bathe in the sea. Each had a young pig to which the believers' sins would be transferred. The pigs were then chased over a chasm and killed.

Fishing: John 21:11 records that Jesus performed a miracle which enabled Simon Peter to catch exactly 153 fish. The Pagan Pythagoras considered 153 a sacred number. The ratio of 153 to 265 was referred to by the Pagan Archimedes as "the measure of the fish." That ratio is used to generate a fish-like shape using two circles. The sign of the fish was used by the early Christians as their main symbol.
Arrest: Both Dionysus and Jesus celebrated a Last Supper with his 12 disciples before his death.
Dionysus is described in Euripides' play The Bacchae as bringing a new religion to the people, being plotted against by the leaders, being arrested and appearing before the political ruler. Dionysus said to his captors "You know not what you are doing..," almost replicating Jesus' words at the cross. He was unjustly accused and executed. All of these themes are seen in the Gospels.

Crucifixion & resurrection: Jesus' body was wrapped in linen and anointed with myrrh and aloe. Osiris was also said to have been wrapped in linen and anointed with myrrh.

I can give as many as you like.

I wouldnt worry about what a christian says they have a long tradition of persactuion

Answer 5

You have no idea of the real situation, or are you saying you feel equipped to Judge God, in your ignorance? What makes you feel qualified to do that? Since the Bible andGod its Author were existing long before you were ever even thought of, the thing wrong with this picture is a puny lil spoilt girl, thinking she has the right to Judge God!Well be very carefull lil girly God is not one to be mocked he will not take it forever!

Answer 6

If you were to study the bible from front cover to back cover you would find numerous contradictions and embellishments!A few chosen stories that through time and interpretations have been changed or molded as a few men deemed they should be read making the bible simply a moralistic story teaching the difference between right and wrong . Its hypocritical in alot of ways!

Answer 7

Who told you that god kills them? Just wondering how educated you are because if you are talking about babies that are miscarried, you are wrong. Miscarriages happen because there is something wrong with the baby to began with. Medical, wrong, deformed, or not going to thrive. Get more educated before make a "guess"!

Answer 8

God sent a plague, because the people were disobediant.

Luckily for us, that was old testament. We aren't under those rules anymore, and have the option to be forgiven now.

Answer 9

People of today worship him for who He is to them not because of what he did in the Old Testament. What God did in the O.T. was righteous judgment because of disobedience. Therefore nothing wrong.

Answer 10

Hello? God is the author and finisher of His own creation. He can do whatever He likes. He sets the rules. Who are we to question His authority?
