Is God a malevolent creature?

Answer 1

he is to those who have created God in their image!

Answer 2

Oh my. What a question.

I would have to say "yes," given the unconscionable and unethical behavior so vividly on display in the old testament. The new testament isn't all that much better when you look specifically at the last book. John has certainly dreamed up some horrifying things that will happen to us all at the hands of god. Seems this god is the kind of being that wants an extremely exclusive club. If you don't make the cut, you're doomed for eternity.

And god created this. So the bible says. I think "malevolent" is far too passive a description.

Answer 3

Read the Bible to find the answer. I'm an atheist, but if you assume God exists, and the Bible describes him correctly, he is very malevolent.

1) The Flood. Instead of showing these sinners the error of their ways, God feels the need to drown everybody except eight people.

2) Numbers chapter 31. The basic premises of the story is that God has Moses raise an army of 12,000 to "utterly destroy" the Midianites. God is then pissed at Moses, who is in turn, pissed at the army, for allowing some women and children to live. So, they kill everybody except the virgins, whom they keep for later raping. The "it was for marriage" excuse is false, because later in the Torah, it is a crime, punishable by stoning, to marry a Midianite. Many, many stories similar to this happen in the Old Testament.

3)"I create light and make the darkness, I make peace and create evil: I the Lord do these things" [Isaiah 45:7]. What the hell kind of "all-loving" God would create evil?

4) God invokes his ultimate act of anger in the New Testament, by creating Hell. He feels the need to get vengance from beyond the grave.

Answer 4

sorry I dont know what you mean by malevolent because this word is not in my dictionary. However, God is not a creature because to me a creature is a creation, but God is not created .. He is self existent from the begining to the end ( Alpha and Omega ). God is Love .. though this world fell into sin through Adam , yet god provided the way out through Jesus... God is our Saviour in Jesus. Then Jesus went up to heaven and send the Holy Spirit ( John 16 : 13 ) to lead you and me to ALL TRUTH and to show us THINGS TO COME--- PROPHECIES !! for our future . And soon Jesus will come back to take us to Heaven if we believe in him and be baptised... I invite you to join tha Seventh Day Adventist church and you will learn to know more about truth on thi God who loves the sinful world eventhough the world hates him...Finally, God practises LOVINGKINDNESS, JUDGEMENT and RIGHTEOUSNESS in this earth for these things He delights on .,.. Jeremiah 9 :23 May God Bless you

Answer 7

I can't remember who said it, wish I did: If God cannot tell that there is suffering in the world, he is foolish; If He can tell but cannot do anything about it, he is impotent; If can and could, but chooses not to, then he is wicked.
