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.


Is this not another example of a moral statement when you said personal morals have nothing to do with the noted contradiction? I drew you guys out deliberately to hear you declare that your morals had nothing to do with the contradiction and that it was only an objective discrepancy with the texts. I was quite sure you would not stick to your own promises.
