Is God always justified in his actions?

Post #1

Post by nobspeople »

Of course this is based on personal opinion (some of you may not like that), but is all of God's more 'negative' decisions made in the bible justified? I'm sure all Christians would say YES, while non-Christians may be mixed in their responses.

For those that say YES, God's more 'negative' actions (drowning most of the life on the planet, drowning Pharoah and his army when they crossed after Moses (God likes to drown, it seems - weird), killing of Egypt's first born, allowing Job to be tortured to prove a point when he already knew how faithful he was, etc), are you saying YES because he is God and can do no wrong (in other words, you question his motives based on your understanding but stand behind him nonetheless) or do you believe, 100%, he was right in his actions?
Can you provide reference as to why and how he was 100% justified?
Have a great, potentially godless, day!

You claimed I did not use the term the term holy as a title. I corrected you, stating clearly and uncatorgorically that I did use it as a title. You acknowledge my claim to have used the term HOLY BIBLE as a title. That is successful!

Where is the link I asked for? This is nothing more than your recreation of our conversation. One that does not represent what I've actually stated. Please provide a link to support your claim.

M'y mistake. You have not yet acknowledge my claim to have used the term holy as a title, would you please do so now?
I used the term to identify the book.

Will you acknowledge in writing that I made the claim above? I ask because you have consistently ignored my statement that I used the term as a title.


JW
I'll repeat my request. Where is the link to my agreement that you used the word "holy" as a title? You made this claim, are you unable to support it?

I apologie for that I publically acknowledge I was mistaken on that specific point. I was wrong you never did acknowledge my claim that I used the term as a title. Up until this point I recognise you have not even once acknowleged my statement.


My bad, sorry

This is clearly not a link to where I made the statement you claim I made. Your attempt to change the subject is noted as unsuccessful.

Not past tense. Present tense. There is no link. No need to apologize, this fact is obvious.
