Whose fault is that? God was the adult in the story, and he allowed Adam and Eve to be deceived, and then punished them even though they were innocents (by your own words). If I left a loaded gun in a room with an unsupervised child (the innocent in this scenario), and an accident happened when the child picked up the gun, whose fault would that be? Would you blame the child or the negligent parent? Why are you apologizing for this negligent god?It seems to me - you have a totally different concept understanding of the bible, than many theists do (I am asssuming Ephesians understands it as I do), in contex that 'death and sin' came into the world, AFTER Adam and Eve (who were perfect in the first place) were decieved.He has so much compassion that he created all his children broken, cursed to sin, toil and death, and will roast them in hell forever if we don't bow down and accept him as our lord and master. Compassion indeed.Because God has compassion. Duh.So the story of Lazarus is only told in John. It’s a sign of his miracles.
But Jesus tarries for two days after he hears that he’s sick. Then he says he’s going to wake him as a sign. So he knows that Lazarus has died. So he goes to Lazarus and being informed that Lazarus has been buried for four days, and by this time he stinks. And then he weeps.
Why? In John, Jesus is god. Just bring his soul to heaven. Death makes no difference after John’s Jesus is done. So why does he weep?
He has so much compassion that he killed all his children, other than a small handful in a boat, with a flood. The word is genocide, and even we flawed humans know that genocide is immoral.
Thank god this monster is just a figment of our imagination.
How does it make sense to punish humans for the transgressions of Adam and Eve? I didn't have anything to do with Adam and Eve, and your god still created me a sinner, destined for disease and death. What did I do deserve being born this way? And how does it make sense to punish me forever if I behave the way I was created to behave by this god? He programmed me to act this way. Why are you apologizing for this sadistic monster of a god?
How does global genocide make any sense? Parents who love their children don't kill them. But Christians claim that their god loves them. Why are you apologizing for this genocidal mass murderer?
You are blinded by your faith, and unwilling to ask these questions. Your faith is not a gift, it is a curse. You were not born a slave and you shouldn't live your life like one.
