- an example is the stoning of adulterers, which God approves of at one point, but which I'm sure most Christians disagree.

I'd have to say it is, being that he destroyed the entire world because man is inherently evil; then said he'd never destroy the entire world.....the reason? Man is inherently evil.

you're somewhat marvelous the two God instructions it because of the fact's ethical or its ethical because of the fact God instructions it. Neither of those solutions leaves the non secular place intact. that's an insoluable difficulty for Christians because of the fact the two morality is arbitrarily dictated, or god is senseless and is merely passing on a message. Neither of those positions Christians are allowed to settle for yet it would be one in all the two (different than the glaring third decision of god merely no longer present yet of course they can't concede that) so as that they are somewhat in somewhat bind right here. that's the reason i discover they make no experience in any respect and continually contradict themselves (even interior the same sentence) whilst conversing approximately morality because of the fact they're caught between 2 unsatisfactory concepts.

You make reference to a period in history oft misunderstood.
For the 1500 years the Israelites were God's people, God was trying to emphasize a point.
The point was:
Salvation cannot come from works.
We cannot live up to a perfect standard and then say "God, you owe me life eternal."
God set up the Mosaic Law, a perfect law, and it proved nobody could do it all perfectly.
In a perfect law, stoning of adulterers is part of the picture.
That history, therefore, teaches that we best turn to God's undeserved kindness if we hope for life eternal.
On that basis ....adulterers can be forgiven.

God commands us to obey the laws of the land.
The act of stoning adulterers is not what was important but rather that we recognize their sinful ways and cast them out of our midst.
Today we use the laws to punish by fines and sentences to prison.
The enemy (Satan) has sent lawyers to corrupt our system of justice so that the sodomites and sevants of the dark one go without punishment.
This time shall pass, and the Lord will soon deliver us from a society run by evil.
Praise Christ!

Well, God couldn't make up Her on many things. Did a bad job of sending these different messages through different religions.

I think its obvious to see the god of the bible was created by man when you see his personality in it. Why would an omniscient being act like that and have such ridiculous rules?

The Bible itself says "Who has known the mind of God?" I think people usually do whatever the h*** they want, and then stick God/Allah/Jesus' name on it.

Worse-- as described by Calvinists, it's arbitrary.
