Is the god of the bible a moral being? [Spirituality & Religion]

Syllogism time:

Killing a baby is always immoral no matter who does it or for what reason.
God killed many, many babies in the flood.
Therefore god is immoral.

Thoughts?

Yahweh created morality.
@GodSpeed63

That's certainly your belief, yes. But that doesn't answer the question.
Regardless of whether he created morality, the question remains. Based on his recorded actions, did he commit an immoral act?
Explain your answer.

That's what I know is true.
@GodSpeed63

Sure.

How can God commit an immoral act when there's no sin in Him?
@GodSpeed63

Perhaps the notion that he's incapable of sin is flawed.

Let's examine the evidence.

Answer the following questions:

1) is killing millions of babies and immoral act?

2) did god kill millions of babies when he flooded the world?

In the interest if direct, polite and good-faith debate, please address those questions directly.

Perhaps. Bud, you really don't have a clue of who God is, do you? Yahweh has no flaws, no sin, no defects, no imperfections, period. You can disagree until you're black in the face but you'd be lying through your teeth.

I just did. Contrary to what you may believe, your questions are irrelevant to Yahweh's character.

Brainwashing is for liars. The one true God is not a man that He is capable of lying or being in error.

Psalm 14 1 Only fools say in their hearts,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and their actions are evil;
not one of them does good!

Prov 28:26
Whoever trusts in his, in this case, her own mind is a fool, but they who walk in wisdom will be delivered.

Sounds pretty much like what our public schools are doing to our children, forcing them to believe in lies of evolution rather than the truth of God.
DunDunDun · 22-25, F
@GodSpeed63 There's proof of evolution, not god tho, and children aren't forced to believe it, they're told the truth and they have a choice if they believe it or not, it's not the same as "teaching" children religion, where if they say, "this doesn't make sense to me" then the parents aren't exactly okay with that

@DunDunDun [quote]There's proof of evolution[/quote]

Where?
@GodSpeed63

[quote]I just did. [/quote]

No. In fact you did not.
What you did was repeatedly avoid answering a difficult question because you do not care for the answer.
You were asked to answer two question and your response was "your questions don't matter", the intellectual equivalent of flipping the game board over.

And you wonder why people call you dishonest.
@GodSpeed63

Let me skip a few steps here for you, champ.

1) evidence is presented
2) you say "that evidence has been misinterpreted!"
3) you're asked to explain what errors have been made
4) you say "is trust god's word over yours!"


You're welcome @DunDunDun. I just saved you hours of inaninty lol

@Pikachu [quote]1) evidence is presented 2) you say "that evidence has been misinterpreted!" 3) you're asked to explain what errors have been made

Let me put it in simple ways you can understand.

1) The Lord God presented evidence of His work so you're without excuse. Romans 1:18 -32

2) Men didn't create science, God, Yahweh, created science. Since men and women are limited in the their brains, They can get thing wrong. Romans 3:4 "Let God true and every man/woman a liar. As it is written: 'That You may be justified in your Words, and may overcome when You are judged.'"

3) You haven't shown me anything that pertains to your way of thinking where science is concerned, so, how can I explain the errors in your pseudo science?

4) God's Word is true and reliable. His science is also true in that it explains science's true interpretations that evolutionists can't comprehend.

There it is.
@GodSpeed63

Just an [i]adorable[/i] attempt at condescension lol.

But here's where you made your mistakes.

1,2 and 4 are declarations of faith. They are asserted without proof and can be dismissed in the same way.

3...i have literally no idea what you're trying to say.

Seems like you got a little riled up there. Odd, considering that everything i said can literally be found in our interactions.

@Pikachu [quote]1,2 and 4 are declarations of faith.[/quote]

Those words are true regardless.

[quote]3...i have literally no idea what you're trying to say.[/quote]

It figures. Let me put this way: if you're not will to support your postings, don't expect me to find the errors in them. You have yet to show evidence that there's no God or that His Word isn't reliable. So far, you haven't been able to do that.
@GodSpeed63

[quote]Those words are true regardless.
[/quote]

So you claim. Hence "declaration of faith" and not "demonstration of veracity" 😉

[quote] You have yet to show evidence that there's no God[/quote]

Aw buddy... [i]Do[/i] try to stay focused.
You're talking to a person who has never tried to prove that god does not exist. I invite you to examine everything i've ever posted if you disagree.
Let's dispense with that embarrassing little strawman, shall we?
Atta boy.

[quote]if you're not will to support your postings[/quote]

I support all of my claims when asked.
When i say something is evidence of evolution i explain why i believe it to be so.
When i say something is better explained by evolution than creation i explain why i believe that to be so.

DNA, Fossils, Genetics. I can and HAVE made arguments for why i believe every one of those to exhibit evidence for evolution over creation.

If you'd like to press that point then i am only too willing to provide quotes and screenshots which will demonstrate that your accusations are a baseless attempt to save face which are not grounded in reality.

You can weasel your way out of answering hard questions if you find that satisfying. But don't think for one [i]second[/i], that you can get away with that kind of slander, [i]boy[/i].
You're running with the big dogs. Your little games are obvious to everyone here.
Keep that in mind next time you try to make this claim.

Both.
