Has God Done Evil?
Re: Prolife morality & God appears Evil
Accusation:
Looking biblically, God certainly has no issues with taking innocent life to prove a point. Otherwise all those innocent in Sodom and Gomorrah or those in Egypt during the plagues wouldn't have been sacrificed. But He'll send angels down to warn a guy to flee Sodom, a guy who literally throws his daughters to an angry raping mob.
It's really why I can't take "pro-life" peoples stance who try to assume some moral authority when they claim to be Christian.
Look at the Evidence :
Response-
that's a misunderstanding on your end, friend.
* as the Creator God has perfect rights to do what is Just and Right, and judges perfectly. Thankful YHWH is the Living God.
> those in S&G were not innocent but wicked... and God decided it was time to judge them and remove their influence from those around them & beyond. Egypt same thing. The Pharoah wouldn't release Jews as slaves (are you pro slavery?), and Pharoah said he would Kill the Jews. God had Chosen these people for His own among the earth, and would not let Pharoah/Satan try to touch them. He also showed how He would save the Jews and free them. (A shadow of the coming Messiah).
> God judged wickedness in both cases you mentioned. Judgement on sin was the issue here.
> And proving to Pharoah and Egypt that - YHWH, He is the only true God.
*God could've protected that family who was custom based protecting those under his house. 1. The Bible is full of displays of mistakes people make and sins. 2. The father was not ok with gayculture and suggested they take a woman (as God designed marraige), but 3. he was flawed in his choices by throwing her at the townsfolk and 4. they for their sins of harming the girl.
*God is perfect by nature. And He never changes. HE is the authority on morality, we are made in His image and are moral creatures by creation. Once morally perfect, but that ended when the Fall entered in Eden due to man's sin. God by nature is perfectly Holy. Christians, who are flawed but forgiven, simply reflect that light/truth. We reflect God to the world, as the moon reflects the sun
*God has said Murder is wrong. Therefore it is wrong. It doesn't matter what people think on that issue😉
If God is perfect and that means true goodness... Who is the evil one? Humans or God? Clearly it's Humans.
