Explain to me how a God who has committed genocide can be considered "Loving"
The fact that people can actually believe that the christian God is all-loving truly blows my mind. How can someone who committed genocide be considered loving? He killed countless people, newborn babies included, and thousands of different plants and animals. Were the animals also sinners?
Furthermore, this "loving" God committed all these murders because people weren't using their "free will" in the exact way he had intended. That's right guys, you have to use your free will exactly how God wanted you to use it, otherwise you get killed.
Wanna know what the best part of this is? God knew that this would eventually happen. Christians believe that he is omnipotent and omniscient, which means that God knew that people would "sin" and he would commit genocide.
So, here's the fun part. You guys get to try to justify genocide to me. Explain to me how a loving, caring father can ruthlessly murder millions of his children. This is gonna be good.
Purse, out.

Or 2. happily let the one murder the other nine? If you choose 1. then you're more like your loving creator and Father than you might think. You have things in common bro, get to know Him and you might just found out how much you really like Him. God flooded the earth to save the billions of lives in the future generations after it. If he didn't the human would've been long gone due to its own divisive and murderous nature. So by committing what you call 'genocide' he actually saved countless more, including me and you. He being the loving Father he is, heartbreakingly removed the one child to save the nine. Just like bible says in Genesis at the time of the flood that He 'regretted creating man' why? Because He so badly didn't want to have to flood the earth and get rid of that generation, no loving Father would ever wish that. Secondly the reason you're asking the question and struggling to understand how an all-loving all-knowing God could do such things is simple. Ask yourself.. Are you all-loving? Are you all-knowing? No, none of us are without Him in our lives to help us. He IS love, so how can we expect to love or comprehend it if we reject that which is love itself? Thats like trying to understand the colour spectrum but refusing to ever open our eyes. You can't do it! The same applies with God, you cannot reject Him and expect to understand Him at the same time. Finally, there's only so much we as Christians can do for you, we can only use our words to help you understand in part and answer you questions as best we can. But ultimately it's down to you making a personal decision to ask Jesus into your life that you may know Him and understand. Just like if somebody who has never tasted a strawberry asks you what it tastes like.. You can only partially give them an idea of what is like and how it tastes. The ONLY way that the other person will truly know what a strawberry tastes like is if they themselves actively go out and eat one and experience it first hand. So like you my friend, if you truly truly want to know the answer to your question then you need to actively and sincerely ask Jesus to come to you and make Himself and His ways known to you. He's waiting at the door for you bro, and He is swift to answer :) I hope this helps somewhat, and that this message finds you well and having a fantastic day. God bless dude! See ya in the games! ;)
