The Evil Bible?

Warning: Reading through this will probably challenge your faith more seriously than you think it would otherwise.

In anyway, it is a good read, how this person (Interestingly noted: didn’t leave down any manner of contacts which i guess he must have received alot of emails previously) look at the scriptures from a World View. Sure, anyone can be a scholar of the Scriptures, and yet misunderstood the nature of the message of the bible just like this person who painfully designed and set up this site.

I will not try to engage into a mud fight with anyone who tries to defend his own Atheistic beliefs, or any other religions like Catholics, but as the same rights accorded to them to hold to their own convictions whether my God is an evil god, i too, have the right to defend my faith but noting, God defends His Own Name, He completely justifies His own action, for who can judge what God did is good or bad. To say this, not saying God need to explain his actions but He gave a glimpse of why that’s bible-centric.

One of the major struggles i had was why God commanded Joshua to kill off the children and women etc during the canaan campaign, and God showed me that He gave these people a few hundred years to repent from the Israel’s slavery in Egypt, but they did not. The sin of these people had not come in fullness, and when it did, the hammerstruck of God’s justice fell strongly and even the trees (which is part of the sacrificial satanic religion these people had) was included.

We so often question why God has to struck this guy dead, like the Israelite who tried to hold the Ark of the Covenant when it was toppled, and God strucked him dead, why…. it is because of this man’s sin, not because of God’s will. We often chucked the guilt to God and forgot our own deeds, for who indeed is sinless except Jesus? The truth is that we did not all perish today is a true manifestation of God’s grace!

As the author of the website accused christians of bigotry that we see other gods of other religions as false, and all that to close one eyes on the atrocities of christian faith, i need to emphasize after a deep conviction that the Church today is not perfect, for example didn’t Ted Haggard fell? Neither is God’s people perfect throughout history. The Roman Catholic Church since Emperor Constantine christianized the Roman Empire, sought to build their own Kingdom on earth, being their own god in the sense through the papacy, and rejecting the very central theme of the christian gospel – Repentance and faith through Jesus, lifestyle of holiness and in humility! True, christians kill in the name of God like the Crusades, or the IRA in Ireland, but too much focus were given to these, and we forgot who are those in the frontline of every human sufferings! Christians, from the hunger driven nations in africa, we see christians feeding, from the earthquake disaster zones, Christians were mobilized, these are the greatest in the Kingdom of God, and not the super-christian sitting behind the wall of the smallest country in the world trying to project power politically around.

Should i get angry with these people? Should i turn a revolutionary? if i should, let me be a revolutionary that turn the world rightside up for Jesus and His Gospel, and that God’s name will be glorified! Let my name die, let my Self diminished that everyday be it in poverty or in wealth, Jesus in flesh is reaching out to those around me, offering hope instead of pain, offering light instead of darkness and more darkness!
