but as much as that is evil, that is not exactly what God calls evil and there are aspects of what God calls evil that you certainly do not believe to be evil.

So the answers to your three questions are, yes and no... and yes and no... and yes and no....
Exactly!

Yep. I seriously don't get it. Everyone thinks it's evil to slaughter innocents, except when God does it. It's nonsense. You would do well to stop believing nonsense.

IMO.

God didnt. Your thinking he did is what causes us the impass...

And, there is no point trying to explain it.

Peace

Actually, I don't think God did that.

Your definition of "fear of the Lord" is not right. You do not have to have any fear, or any regard at all, of God in order to hate evil. Christians are not the only people in the world who hate evil.

They pretend. They (many of them) are proud of their powers. They demonstrate them with messages in tongues and interpretations. Prophecies, words of knowledge. Discernment. His stunt is (in his mind) demonstrating the fakeness of those claims.

I don't exactly condone or condemn his stunt. It is what it is.

Now, of course, there is always accusations, as there were this time, following these things about the lack of truuuuue discernment in some churches. But the ones who point fingers are just as unlikely to succeed in demonstrating real supernatural powers as the pranked churches. IMO.
