What's your take on this? [Spirituality & Religion]

[c=#4C0073][b]I've been reading the book of Exodus and I was enjoying the story that is until I read the penalties Moses sentenced some of the bad things people did wrong. I've come to know God as a merciful God but killing someone because of sin is brutal. I just don't understand why he was so harsh to the people[/b][/c]

@Harriet03 What about the devil's part in all of this? Why isn't anybody putting the blame on him because he's the cause of all of this. God tests our faith by letting the devil steal our joy. Remember that the next time you wanna put the blame on him

@karysma You should read the book of Job.

@Lostpoet I did

@karysma You just have to trust in god's grace, is what I think I remember it being about.

@Lostpoet But my heart can't take most of the harsh things that happened in Exodus. It's getting hard for me to continue reading

@karysma remember too that God made Satan.

@karysma I think if you really want to search than keep searching, but if you don't have an opend heart and really pray and think about those issues and struggles real people had to face in a really hard time in civilization then you are just wasting time. It is all confusing and a lot of people don't even want to try and find meaning anymore. I'm glad that you are.

@Lostpoet You just gavr me an idea. Maybe I should pray about it and ask God to make me understand😁

@ContributorJo Yes he did and the devil is the one to blame for everything going wrong in the world. I don't know why God just won't eliminate him from the picture for good

Probably because none of it is real.
