Answer 1

"The Bible tells us to be like God, and then on page after page it describes God as a mass murderer. This may be the single most important key to the political behavior of Western Civilization."

Robert A. Wilson, Right Where You Are Sitting Now


God drowns everything that breathes air. From newborn babies to koala bears -- all creatures great and small, the Lord God drowned them all. Gen 7:21-23
Lot refuses to give up his angels to the perverted mob, offering his two "virgin daughters" instead. He tells the bunch of angel rapers to "do unto them [his daughters] as is good in your eyes." This is the same man that is called "just" and "righteous" in 2 Peter 2:7-8. 19:7-8

God kills everyone (men, women, children, infants, newborns) in Sodom and Gomorrah by raining "fire and brimstone from the Lord out of heaven." Well, almost everyone -- he spares the "just and righteous" Lot and his family. 19:24

exodus: God will kill the Egyptian children to show that he puts "a difference between the Egyptians and Israel." 11:7

After God has sufficiently hardened the Pharaoh's heart, he kills all the firstborn Egyptian children. When he was finished "there was not a house where there was not one dead." Finally, he runs out of little babies to kill, so he slaughters the firstborn cattle, too. 12:29

If you make God angry enough, he will kill you and your family with his own sword. 22:24

Whoever works, or even kindles a fire, on the Sabbath "shall be put to death." 35:2-3

Leviticus
If priests misbehave at the tabernacle by uncovering their heads, tearing their clothes, leaving with holy oil on them, or by drinking "wine or strong drink", then God will kill them and send his wrath on "all the people." 10:6-9

After a woman gives birth, a priest must kill a lamb, pigeon, or dove as a sin offering. This is because having children is sinful and God likes it when things are killed for him. 12:6-8

God describes the torments that he has planned for those who displease him. The usual stuff: plagues, burning fevers that will consume the eyes, etc. but he reserves the worst for the little children. He says "ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it," "I will send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children," and "ye shall eat the flesh of your sons and daughters." 26:16-39

Numbers:

God tells Moses to exterminate the residents of Canaan and destroy all of their religious symbols and possessions. 33:50-52


Under God's direction, Moses' army defeats the Midianites. They kill all the adult males, but take the women and children captive. When Moses learns that they left some live, he angrily says: "Have you saved all the women alive? Kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves." So they went back and did as Moses (and presumably God) instructed, killing everyone except for the virgins. In this way they got 32,000 virgins -- Wow! (Even God gets some of the booty -- including the virgins.) 31:1-54

Deut
At God's instructions, the Israelites "utterly destroyed the men, women, and the little ones" leaving "none to remain." 2:33-36

The Israelites, with God's help, kill all the men, women, and children of every city. 3:3-6

When going to war, don't be afraid. God is on your side; "he shall fight for you." 3:22

If you worship the wrong god, God will get jealous and kill you. 6:15

God commands his people to "consume all the people which the Lord thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity on them." 7:16

Kill those of other faiths. 12:30

Kill everyone who has religious beliefs that are different from your own. 17:2-7

If you don't do as God says he'll send plagues to torment and destroy you. 28:58-64

Joshua
Joshua, at God's command, kills everyone and everything that he can find (including babies and little children)-- or, as the Bible puts it, he "utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the Lord commanded." 10:28-32

Judges
God sends evil spirits that cause humans to deal treacherously with each other. 9:23-24

God tells the Israelites to send the tribe of Judah into battle and 22,000 men were killed by the Benjamites. 20:18, 21

God tells Phinehas to fight against the Benjamites, saying he will deliver them into his hand. So the Israelites kill some more people for God. 20:38-41

God tells them to go to battle again and another 18,000 are killed. 20:23, 25

God helps the Israelites kill 25,100 Benjamites. 20:35

1 Samuel
"The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them." If God doesn't like you, he'll send a thunderstorm your way to break your body into little pieces. 2:10

God will kill those who sin against him. 2:25

If you piss him off, God will cut off your arm, consume your eyes, grieve your heart, and kill your sons and grandfathers. 2:31-34

God will punish Eli's descendants forever for the sins of Eli's sons. 3:12-13

God smites the people of Ashdod with hemorrhoids "in their secret parts." 5:6-12

God kills 50,070 men for looking into the ark. "And the people lamented, because the Lord had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter." 6:19

2 Samuel
God offers David a choice of punishments for having conducted the census: 1) seven years of famine ( 1 Chr.21:1 says three years), 2) three months fleeing from enemies, or 3) three days of pestilence. David can't decide, so God chooses for him and sends a pestilence, killing 70,000 men (and probably around 200,000 women and children). 24:13

2 Kings
God sends two bears to rip up 42 little children for making fun of Elisha's bald head. 2:23-24

Pslams
If you ask God, he'll force heathens to be your slaves and help you "dash them in pieces." 2:8-9

If you pray to God, he will kill your enemies for you. 9:3-6

God will rain fire and brimstone on "wicked" folks. 11:6

The God of peace teaches us how to kill our neighbors in war. 18:34

Answer 2

What you're soliciting for is observed as "old testomony Survey" in Bible college. It takes 13 weeks, with 3 hours of sophistication room time each and each week. And, it is not counting homestead artwork. i'm sorry, yet whether I had the time, i do no longer desire 10 factors that undesirable.

Answer 3

can u compare the OT god from the NT god?

god created evil: Isaiah 45:7
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

god murdered thousands: refer to noahs flood, and his intervention in moses escapes, those who drowned in the red sea.

god is jelous:
Exodus 34:14
Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

Jeremiah 10:10
But the LORD is the true God; he is the living God, the eternal King. When he is angry, the earth trembles; the nations cannot endure his wrath.

god commanded death of many: refer to story of samson where god gave samson the power to kill 1000 philistines. refer to david and goliath. (there are many more stories)

and continues.... new testament he is a god of love and mercy of compassion and forgiveness. where christ saves the adulterer from a stoning by speaking "he who is without sin cast the first stone"

Answer 4

That's hillarious Mike. Rather than answering your question, I will sing you a song.

Strangers passing in the street,
By chance two seperate glances meet,
And I am you and what I see is me.
Do I take you by the hand,
And lead you through the land,
And help you understand the best I can?

To answer those immortal words (Pink Floyd by the way),
I will say:

NO. I will not lead you through the land.

Because if you don't at least try yourself, there' s no point in me helping you out. I think I'm feeling something...oh yeah...it's called,
HELP THOSE THAT HELP THEMSELVES.

And as for the rest, refer to the first answer on your list.

Peace.

Answer 5

I will probably not get the 10 points here, but that is not my goal here either. The Lord of Genesis-Malachi, was the Lord Jesus Christ. (lord (small l) is used but it does not refer to the Lord Jesus Christ).

May you receive a pleasant surprise today, Glory to God.
Peace Be With You.

Answer 6

Megalomaniac, manipulative, mass-murdering psychopath

"God created man imperfect, than damned him for being so." - Shelley

* Created the Earth and mankind for the sole purpose of having a creature that would adore him

* Attempted to keep man in a state of perpetual ignorance (and thus dependence)

* Created a being (Satan) which he knew would tempt and deceive a being (Eve) whom he knew would be susceptible; feigned ignorance of the event; then punished not only her but all of her progeny for eternity, all for an event which He knew would occur and could have prevented. The ultimate setup!

* Destroyed all life - which He had created - for the failings of a creature (man) which He had created. It even says that 'God repented' - meaning that He acknowledged having acted in error.

* Founded His 'chosen people' with a man (Abraham) who married his half-sister, then sired a child through adultery with a slave girl. Required this person to express his devotion by preparing to ritually butcher his only son.

* Arranged for the leadership of 'chosen people' through a man who took his brother's birthright by extortion and his father's deathbed blessing by trickery.

* Arranged for his 'chosen people' to become a society of slaves, simply so they'd appreciate Him for 'freeing' them.

* Repeatedly used mind control to 'harden Pharaoh's heart' then punished not only Pharaoh but millions of innocent citizens for a situation which He had created: Crops ruined, all cattle slain (twice), and the firstborn child of *every* home (including peasants who had no part in the suffering of the Hebrews) mercilessly murdered.

* Forced 'chosen people' to spend 40 years on a trip that should have taken about 2 weeks, murdering thousands for assorted minor offenses, again so they would be grateful to Him for leading them out of suffering which He had inflicted on them in the first place.

There's lots more, but you get the idea.
