I've never met, or heard from, or read anything, from anyone purporting to hate God.

But that guy in the OT is a cartoon monster. I'm very, very glad he's not real. If he was real, yeah, I'd hate him.

The biggest problem today about this is that many Muslim and other people will never forgive any Christian for this ....As Only through Lord Jesus can people forgive others

God leaves nothing to chance.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the God of the Old Testament and the God of the New Testament are one in the same and He is very, very real.

You keep saying that . . . but that is NOT the problem. Of course God is God . . . BUT it is the DESCRIPTIONS of His nature and motives that differ . . . and those descriptions are from primitive barbarians. I trust the descriptions and revelations of Christ about the TRUE NATURE of God. Christ demonstrated the truth of God's agape love even unto scourging and crucifixion. He loved even His torturers and murderers because they knew not what they did. He smote no one! That is true agape love. "No greater love . . ."

You bet!

I even know the author... personally.

I read the bible many times--- there are very good reasons why this system has to be for now( humans chose it) It is almost done--Those who really know God, trust that he makes the right decision everytime, concerning all for all time. You cant even begin to imagine what that is like.
Yeah, each time I read a bible in a couple of different languages, it's like reading the same old myth over and over again. Then I read the Egyptian Book of the Dead, and lo and behold, same stories, different names.

What a coincidence!
