What does this say about God?

First, in the day violating the sabbath was no minor offense, basically giving God the finger. Nobody got away with doing that to an earthly, less worthy king. And it says He doesn't conform to what YOU want HIM to be, you need to conform to what HE wants YOU to be. A valuable lesson.


So your god is not better than the petty jealous kings of that day!


Again you are moralizing by making what is described as a serious offense a trivial matter. The original contradiction said it was merely a contradiction between texts in the OT. When you can't sustain the allegation you recast the context and insert your moral values.



First off, IT IS A TRIVIAL OFFENSE. You're the one willing to execute people for trivial offenses and call it love because your god is in capable of providing direction better than the common moral of a given time.

You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.

You cannot over estimate the unimportance of nearly everything. John Maxwell
