Thread: Is God a Moral Monster?

  1. #11
    Look, let me just put it this way:

    This God in the Bible burns people, orders people killed, sends plagues that kill, drowns people, throws down hailstones to kill people. All of those things are found in the Bible.

    He is NOT a "nice" God.

    You refuse to answer my specific question


    The above is easily understood by free will believers - we don't deny God ordered judgments on people but there is good exegesis and bad exegesis and you fall into the latter category

    Not as the flesh considers "nice". However He is a just God and the people He protected and saved by doing those things would consider Him a wonderful God.

    But how many of them did not deserve it?

    (Hint! NONE).

    Leighton Flowers :
    Many have asked what specific points led me away from Calvinism. Being a Professor of Theology that once affirmed TULIP gives me a unique perspective on this subject.
    However, I do not claim to be an expert in the field nor do I begrudge those who disagree with my perspective. I simply desire to interpret rightly the Word of God.

    Which is why it has been written, "This is one of the essential truths that bring Mr. Flower's theological house crashing down like a house of cards. "WHY do some people have faith (believe) and others do not?"

    The Bible DOES answer this question many times over, but Mr. Flowers and other "I chose of my own will to believe and accept Jesus in my heart" believers either have never seen the Scriptural answers or they just don't believe what the Book says about it."

    He is a Professor and once accepted Calvinism and you say "...either have never seen the Scriptural answers or they just don't believe what the Book says about it"

    Thanks for the laugh
