The Christian Proselytizer Questionaire #7 God is all-good?

7. Explain why I should believe that your god is all-good when the only real information we have about him is the Bible, which clearly describes him as both good and evil. (See Isaiah 30:32, Luke 14:26, Numbers 31:17-18, Matthew 10:34, Amos 3:6, Deuteronomy 18:8, Deuteronomy 20:16, Exodus 20:5, Exodus 32:27, Isaiah 45:7, Psalms 52:5, Luke 22:36, and Jeremiah 18:11 for a small sample of Biblical passages which describe Jehovah as having an evil morality at times).

All-good can be a misleading term. Generally some type of physical fitness plan can improve your health, but some people have conditions that prevent them from doing so. If you haven’t worked out in a while, you will probably have a painful experience for a few sessions. God created a world with consequences to actions, he’s not really picking on anyone, “evil” is a result of the choices we make. In the new testament verses, I believe Jesus is making a point of how difficult it can be to commit to following rather than being evil.

Here’s the context for this post


What’s this then?

I've had a strange relationship with faith for as long as I can remember. My journey has gone from doing what I was told, to questioning, to doubting, to abandon, to wonder, to play along, to work against, to open up, to change, to embrace, to wonder, to doubt, to work towards, and to keep searching for better answers. Our various understandings of faith are deeply personal. Sharing those understandings can be very helpful to ourselves as well as others.
