I believe God is a God who is love, He is righteous, He is just, He cannot do wrong, He cannot lie, He cannot steal, He cannot do anything that goes against His word. THis is the nature of the God that I serve. Any verse that seems to contradict God's nature, is not conveying the proper meaning.
You would have me believe that a God who is love would make a man be born blind and live in that torment for more than forty years, just so he could get Himself some glory. You are are picking and choosing what you want to believe just like I am.
You would have me believe that God used Job as a guinea pig, and allowed him to be tormented in the most hideous of ways, (stuff like Saddam Hussain would have used) just to prove to the devil that he wouldn't crack under the pressure. God obviously was suffering from a rejection complex after Adam and Eve chose the devil over him. NO I don't believe that. The devil did all the that stuff, to Job, because Job had exposed himself to the devil, by living in constant fear.
You're picking and choosing what you want to believe about the Bible. Do you hate your family? Are you disciple of Jesus? It is written, that Jesus said unless you hate your family you can't be his disciple. Of course He didn't say that, He didn't speak English. What did he say then? He said you must put Him first, ahead of family.
