Is it wrong for God to kill people? 

I just wanted to say that I am the Christian who invited the questioner in this video to Frank Turek's lecture. I've known Jeremy for more than half of my life. We have many interesting intellectual conversations. I was so happy that my friend decided to come with me to this apologetics lecture by Turek. It was a great event and we had a great time. This comment section is a little disheartening, though. There are people making assumptions about my friend's personal life, even calling him gay because he has long hair (which is irrelevant, and he isn't). I love apologetics, and I love what Frank Turek does, because he gives well-reasoned arguments to serious questions about our faith. But when people stoop to insulting the person asking the question, they distance that person further from the faith. Furthermore, it undermines the project of apologetics. Rather than drawing (incorrect) conclusions about someone's personal life, perhaps a better project would be to be ready to give an answer to questions like this, as Frank Turek did, and as the Bible commands. I invited an atheist to a Christian event intending for him to receive welcome, not so he could be bashed by strangers on the internet.

My man sounds just hurt. Hoping that the Holy Spirit massages his heart and lifts the veil from his eyes.

At least the dude was polite. That's always nice to see

Praying for this dude that God brings him back and fills him with even more hope and joy than he used to have!

The results when you "lean unto your own understanding"..

Watching the poor guy standing in line to ask his question, trying so hard to button his shirt correctly made me smile.

He needs true encounter not evidence. Money and careers with in the church seems to me changes people.

Jeremy, I hope you will return to your first love, Jesus. Be blessed. I used to have the same question as you did, but I realised that the Bible doesn't always explain why God reacted the way He did at certain times as depicted in the Bible. There is a bigger picture on why He did what He did and it's always for a good reason, which sometimes we will never know until we go to heaven.

Exacting justice is not murder. Our judges and courts of law don't murder criminals by sentencing them to death. They're upholding the law. Our military weren't murderers for killing Nazi's who were attacking and killing other people. They were protecting our country as well as others. There's a justifiable and righteous judgement on sin and law breaking and to not judge sin would be unjust. A judge who allows laws to be broken and refuses to uphold the law is not good. Justice must be served for a judge to be righteous. God is holy and righteous. We underestimate the gravity of our sin and don't understand the holiness of God when we begin to accuse God of wrongdoing. It's us who need the change. Not Him.

Great responses from Dr Turek. The guy is putting God on the same emotional level as us humans and God never does anything arbitrarily. He sees the bigger picture and because we love God and know His character, we know that HE knows why HE has committed a particular action. We trust in HIS goodness. Apologetics is excellent to learn but it's more head knowledge. This gentleman needs to cry out and ask the Holy Spirit to draw him closer to Jesus, therefore leading him into all truth. I pray he does.

The guy brought up good questions. I think Frank didnt satisfy him by giving him the answer he wanted. Neither am i satisfied with the answer. But we dont have all the answers. You guys must know that. 1. Why is God said to be slow to anger? Answer: Its not because He lets sin get away easy or He is slow in punishing. But it is because He forgives those who repent. God is slow to anger towards those who repent and turn away from their sins. In the case of the guy who disobeyed God by trying to touch the ark of covenant, the bible doesnt mention him repenting of his action. Hence, he died. Even Nineveh* was saved because they repented. If it weren't for God's mercy, everyone would have died instantly due to the sins they commit against God on a daily basis. 2. Why would God kill if He commands us not to? Answer: God is a judge. He is the one who makes the Law. He can condemn any sinners when He knows it is right. But we are not the judge hence we cannot kill someone. But God appoints judges even among us to carry out His task.

This breaks my heart. Everybody let’s pray for this guy! Not once, but keep him in our prayers!!

The questioner never seems to consider Gods knowledge when making decisions. How can we (beings with finite knowledge) determine that God did not have sufficient reasons for doing what he did in a "preceived" rash manner. It is quite possible that God saw it coming and chose to act when it did happen so we would take the situation seriously

This man has never met God. I have and could never turn away. Stop looking in books. Look for Him on your knees.

“Can you give me an example?” “Yeah that one time with that one person, I’d have to look it up.” “Okay can I get an example?” “Yeah the when they stopped the covenant from falling in the mud.” “Yeah, they were told to not touch it. They were told to not throw it in the mud, but they were also told to not touch it. They disobeyed him.” “Yeah, but he was mad.” That’s not anger bud, that’s punishment for not obeying an explicit command...

When the gentleman says “God is quick to anger”- even though the Bible says the opposite- he is supposing that God can be surprised... Is God surprised by anything? Could it be that God is reacting exactly as He should based on the information that ONLY He knows- and keep in mind, God knows everything. Why do people think they can know better than God?

After reading all the books he's said he has read, and he still comes to this conclusion, what is he really looking for?

He asked, "Then why do we claim that he (God) is a moral authority and example if we are not to follow his example?" I think this is another logical fallacy that this guy poses to Frank. He would have to break that one down because there's no way to answer it without getting trapped if you're not careful. And he asked, "What would God need to do to convince you that he isn't morally good?" That would mean that God would have to go against his nature to do so. He stopped believing after reading on of Frank's apologetics books? That's definitely one I've never heard of happening before. I hope and pray that he comes to know Christ before it's too late.

This is what I love about this channel they dont stray away from dealing with tough questions

He doesn’t needs evidence, he needs faith, and that is a gift of God!

In order to understand the intent of the creator you have to look at the beginning. We were supposed to live forever, no pain and God taking care of us. We have free will and choose to reject. All evil happens because people reject Gods laws. If we loved each other like ourselves this world would be like heaven or if we followed the 10 commandments our world would be like heaven.

"What does it take to make me believe that triangles do not have three sides?"

Dr. Frank Turek, I am a huge fan and love watching your videos!! I’ve been on a journey and realizing the key details in Jesus’ message and how to spread his word in this generation. I hope one day I’ll be able to meet you and have a nice talk about our God and his son.

2:54 How am I supposed to follow my father’s example if I can’t ground my brother and withhold his allowance? It’s a matter of position and right to authority.

@ 9:28 Frank: "Sometimes he may take actions that we don't understand". Questioner: "Sure". Frank: "He may take actions that we don't understand, but They're still in his right". Questioner: "Yeah". This guy does not know what he's thinking. First, in the beginning, he says God is wrong or immoral for taking the life of somebody who didn't raise up children with his brother's wife. But then he turns around and says "yeah" to God taking actions that we don't understand, but They are still in his right. This guy is confused. He doesn't know what he believes. I think he's trying to take his personal moral beliefs and place them on God in given situations, not knowing the those circumstances. He's mixed up.

My man, by his eyes movements and his tone, he is hurt bro... God heal his heart lord

I had a lot of the same questions that were answered by the Bible and doing Bible study. When you dive in, it reads you.

He didn't leave the faith. He fell in love with his own sin.

He read all those books, was a minister and still quit? I don't know how to help him. He's read way more than I have and probably ever will, and I'm a believer. I think only the Holy Spirit can intervene, if it is in God's will.

We don't need to understand God We have to obey him!

We cannot judge God by our standards. He is far above any standard we can have, and doing so will make Him seemingly fall short because we are fickle and our standards change. Therefore, to attribute our own understanding of emotions and emotional would-be responses to God would lead us down a dangerous path of distrust and disbelief. Holy Spirit, restore this young man to Christ. Thank You, Jesus. Amen.

Thank you Dr. Frank Turek for all that you do to represent the Kingdom of God and be the Ambassador of the faith that we have all been charged to be, as believers. Keep fighting the good fight of faith!💪🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽

Why we fall? we wanted to be our own god... our own judgement of good and evil

7:35 This made me think of, "Then Jesus told him, 'Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.'" (John 20:29) I think God is trying to increase this man's faith. Let's all pray for him.

Such respect demonstrated by both men. Appreciate exchanges like this.

Shalom If dying on the cross for our SINS isn't enough to call God morally excellent... i have no clue what else will convince the poor man otherwise. Romans 8:28 (KJV) 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied in Jesus holy name.

The one thing God could do to make me question His goodness, was if He acted unjustly toward sinners. And by unjustly, I mean looking the other way and letting sin go unpunished. THAT would be the actions of a morally evil God. And coincidentally, that’s the God that many “Christians” make up for themselves to allow them to live in their sin while still calling Him “Lord, Lord”. I wouldn’t be surprised if this gentleman has some kind of secret sin that he just doesn’t want to give up, and that is the actual reason why he left the faith. I think something like that can easily cause you to read “monstrous” apologetic books LOOKING for a reason to disbelieve. Men loved the darkness rather than the light, because it exposes their wickedness. And men don’t like that.

When parents say: 'Follow my example' to their underage kids, do they mean that they should go off driving cars? Of course not. If everyone had the same authority or function, there would be anarchy. God is the moral standard, the authority. In multiple governmental structures, citizens are forbidden from judging their own cause and have to report wrongdoings to AUTHORITY. So in the same way, report your grievance to God, and let Him take care of it.

As Jesus Once Said "Blessed Are They Who Have Not Seen, And Yet Have Believed"

To the fellow who was asking the questions in the video, I would ask him to try to remember: Oh Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder Thy power throughout the universe displayed Then sings my soul My Savior God to Thee How great Thou art How great Thou art When thru the woods and forest glades I wander And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze Then sings my soul My Savior God to Thee How great Thou art How great Thou art And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing; Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in; That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin. Then sings my soul My Savior God to Thee How great Thou art How great Thou art When Christ shall come, With shouts of acclamation And take me home, What joy shall fill my heart Then I shall bow, in humble adoration And there proclaim, "My God, how great Thou art!" Then sings my soul My Savior God to Thee How great Thou art How great Thou art Then sings my soul My Savior God to Thee How great Thou art How great Thou art How great Thou art How great... Thou art How great Thou art Oh Lord, my God How great Thou art How great Thou art Oh Lord, my God

The more common heretical "churches" become and misinformation is spread to distort God's Truth the greater the need is for doctrinally sound Christian apologetics. Great video!

It all boils down to this question . . . Are you looking for a way in OR are you looking for a way out? You just don't want to see the Truth!

God gives and God takes away. It is his right and his alone to hold control over life and death.

Frank: Red is red. Red is red because red IS red itself. Atheist: Red is not red. Because red is not red enough (by my standards) to be red itself. Research Plato's platonic concepts if you don't understand

When the gospel and God are reduced to only transactional encounters, faith, love, and hope are tremendously diminished.

God always warns and shows grace before acting. After all, it took God 430 years before a tribe of people were taken out (who you later see wasn't actually decimated). What that guy isn't getting is that God judges sin and the people in the Bible that God took out of this world for sinning, they were continually disobedient and in the case of Annanaias and Saphaira, (however you spell their names), were intentional in it. Like Frank said, God isn't emotional and you can see this guy is just imposing his view onto the Bible and giving the context a meaning it never had.

Father God please shower your grace on this guy asking the questions. I remember when I had the exact same questions before I knew you. Please reveal yourself to him and change his life just like you did mine, even though I didn’t deserve it lord. Show him and help him to understand your character lord God. Thank you for your love grace and mercy lord God, and for sending your son to die for me. I praise you and worship you. You are the highest authority lord and you are good, you are not a tyrant. Thank you for forgiving me father God and letting me know you and have a real relationship with you. It was only when you initiated a relationship with me when I finally understood you and the heartache you go through when we sin and blaspheme against you with lies about your character, without even knowing. Change this guys heart lord, please. In Jesus name.

That's probably one of the toughest questions he ever had to answer.. Jeremy was asking straight direct questions, but getting side ways answers. We have to admit that there are some questions that we just have no answer to. I really can't give a straight direct answer to Jeremy's question. I admit that. God is able, and maybe will choose to reveal it through true understanding of His word. If not, ask Him when you meet Him. As it was said, maybe I have the wrong God... But if the God of the bible is the true God, our unanswered questions of Him doesn't change Him from being God. Just ask Job...

No. God is the Judge and he is just in all he does.

Unless you taste his goodness, you never know how good he is.

I think this guy is really looking for answers and not just being difficult. Nice to see. I don't see that a lot. Usually there is nothing you can say and they are just trying to tear believers down and our God. Ill be praying for this young man.

I like making this analogy to better explain why Gods laws to man shouldn't be used to judge Gods actions. Let me explain: A father and son live on a busy road. The son is not equipped yet to grasp the dangers of that road and therefore the father tells him sternly not to cross it under any circumstance. One day the son witnesses his father crossing the road. What should the son think and do? Scenario 1: The son does not understand why his father went across the road and takes offense that he told him not to do what he did and therefore attempts to cross the road only to face oncoming traffic and dies. Scenario 2: The son does not understand why his father went across the road but trusts him enough to continue to obey his command about not crossing the road and in doing so unknowingly preserves his life. We have to understand that if Christianity is true, then we have to accept that we are finite creatures who serve and are given life by an infinite God. We can understand much, but there will be times that we might come across something we do not understand and we will have a choice... do we know enough about God to trust him in what we dont understand or will we rebel in ignorance about something we do not understand. That choice is ours to make. “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord . “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:8‭-‬9 NASB My son, do not forget my teaching, But let your heart keep my commandments; For length of days and years of life And peace they will add to you. Do not let kindness and truth leave you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart. So you will find favor and good repute In the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:1‭-‬5 NASB

If God is not slow to anger then we should die now because we are sinners..i think that man with long hair is a gay..i mean literally a gay.

I hope this guy finds peace and grace again. Hopefully, it won't be too late.

This is a point that really baffles me. People assume God is evil because "He kills people in the old Testament". But then again, if God is indeed the creator and sustainer of all life, doesn't that grant Him the right to TAKE it? He does own it all, after all. To paraphrase Jeremiah, " can a broken piece of pottery tell the Potter what to do?"

0:59 Good point. There is a difference between condemning someone by a standard and pointing out an inconsistency with a standard. The difference lies in whether the presenter of the argument stands on the grounds that the standard is correct. If someone says, as Hitchens often seemed to, that God is immoral and rejects him on that basis, the ‘stealing from God’ argument certainly applies, as the moral law has been invoked. The consistency argument is context specific (depends on what is being claimed to be inconsistent), should have no tone of moral condemnation so as to avoid appealing to the standard, and the only thing being ‘stolen from God’ is the presumption that consistency is good.

Let's all pray for this guy.

Frank didn’t answer this convincingly. It’s one of the really tough questions we have to answer as Christians

Man, I was so hoping for an answer that mentions how we don't realize how "slow to anger" God really is towards rebellious creatures - the fact that He didn't wipe out the first man after the first sin. The fact that He continued to make a way for man to be right with Him throughout entire corrupt generations. Maybe the definition the guy tied to "slow to anger" was very narrow and subjective. Would also be interesting to hear how he would define "evidence", saying that their's no evidence in all those big evidence based books. Such an interesting conversation. Praying for Him 🙏

Those difficult questions. A much more difficult one would be how can God be good if he condemns not one soul but countless souls to eternal torment in hell? My relatives refused to accept Christ over this issue with regard to the fate of their ancestors who were not Christians.

GOD CAN GIVE LIFE. GOD CAN TAKE LIFE.

_To the title of this video:_ *Is like saying, is it wrong for a boss to fire people if needed?* Ofc not he has legal grounds to it.. And death and life ? Well, God has legal ground to that too, God is the moral creator, in other words He can do what ever He wants, righteously for sure. And God is good! Only Christ is the true way to life guys... cheers

"What would it take for you to believe god is immoral?" I love how Frank Turek wrote off this question as unimportant because it's something that goes straight to the heart of a lot of Christian arguments. There are many different arguments Christians use to support the morality of god. If you are like Frank Turek who defines morality as god, then god is not judged by his actions. He is judged by who he is. So, when you are looking at an action to determine if the action was right or wrong whether it's killing an innocent person, stealing, owning people as property, discrimination, etc., the question is not "Was the ACTION immoral?", but rather by WHOSE permission was the action committed?" And if people can't see why that's a bad form of morality, I don't know what to say except look at history. We as humans have realized that was a bad idea, even thousands of years ago.

I'm so impressed this nice guy is so calm and I think he has some tough questions. Sounds like a heart issue for him not a proof issue. He handled himself very well.

HE IS SUCH A GOOD AND INTELLIGENT PERSON! 🙏🏻 He asks so profound questions and he wants answers which is why he seems so hurt 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

That God acted out of anger in the case of Uzzah is simply an assumption, a conclusion drawn from insufficient evidence. As Dr. Turek points out, the text doesn't say God acted out of anger. And since it is not logically necessary that His action was done out of anger, to claim that He did is inferring what was not implied. I hope this individual can re-evaluate the issue with greater mental discipline. I don't doubt he has examined those books. But if he's erred in such a simple and fundamental matter as drawing a conclusion about the motivations of another without sufficient evidence, then it naturally suggests that other reasoning errors were likely made as well. We can have all the facts in the world, but they do us no good if we don't reason properly. And it seems to me the question he needed to ask Dr. Turek is, "What could the God of the Bible do to prove to you that He is not in fact God."

I like these longer exchanges

Luke 14:26, Matthew 10:34-36, proverbs 30:6, Isaiah 45:7, Luke 16:17

This guy wants you to prove sugar is not sweet.

The moment you sin you should be dropped on the sun Anything slower is God being slow to wrath

This guy doesn’t get it. There has to be a ultimate standard of good, and whatever that standard is, that’s GOD.

Really good questions!

Strong enough evidence? 10,000+ Hebrew/Koine Greek manuscripts????????????

Nope not only that he throws them in hell. If you don’t want to go repent and accept Jesus Christ but people want to complain instead

Why, if God exists, must he be perfect or benevolent? Why can't he be one with imperfections, where did we get the idea that God is synonymous with perfection?

i am sorry for the guy because i know it's sometimes easy due to all pain and evil, and/or intellectual thinking to stumble in your faith and to doubt. you start questioning everything, including God, and that's a super difficult and depressing situation to be in. you don't want that, but it happens due to a variety of reasons, like watching innocent people or children being raped or suffering or murdered, or whatever. may God draws him near to Himself and bathe him in His love.

Theres nothing yu can do to change someones belief. God bless us all🙏🏻

Is God ever wrong? Answer: no. 1 Samuel 2:2 “There is none holy like the Lord; there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God. 1 Peter 1:15-16 But as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” Isaiah 57:15 For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite. Isaiah 6:3 And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” 1 Peter 1:16 Since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” Psalm 96:9 Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness; tremble before him, all the earth! Leviticus 19:2 “Speak to all the congregation of the people of Israel and say to them, You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy. Ephesians 1:4 Even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love

One of the best explanation on understanding God I found in Deut 29:29. One of the most emotionally charged books in the Old Testament, for me so far is Jeremiah, I cried through most of it, the pain I felt from reading Gods responses to Jeremiah and the reasons for his ultimate decision in exiling the Jews, made me look at our society and how nothing much has changed in so far as the human conditions. I read it out loud and very carefully. What I have found is that, I am more thankful than I can say for our Lord Jesus Christ, to understand that God came to us, He died for us is humbling. So yes, God is good, wholly good and righteous. Just read Geneses 12-24 the story of Abram/Abraham, because of something I heard that blew my mind, so I read it, slowly, again mind blown, Our Lord was Physically there with Abram/Abraham, why had I not seen that before? But there it was in black and white. I love how scripture always has something new to teach, it’s amazing really.

His problem in this video is not mainly about God is good... but his problem is God's punishments and justification.

If people sinned and nobody ever died God wouldn’t be just. Because God is merciful and slow to anger people are shocked at the few occasions when he judges swiftly.

6:05 I can answer the question with another question, what would it take for a Square to be a Circle? its impossible for a square to be circle

If a son shall not bare the sin of his father why did God send Samuel to kill man woman and children with no remorse??

I think he is just confusing the word "good" with "pleasing to people". God is the standard by which we can judge what is good or not good. It's not like saying "ooh, those eggs were good!"

God is so patient with this guy. If it was up to me I'd cut his life short along time ago.

@Cross Examined So we're property? Welcome to Islam Frank Turek, I always have the Innate feeling that you were a secret Muslim.

If GOD is NOT slow to anger, we are all already in hell right now!😂

Accepting that "God is good" is one of the hardest things to do. Accepting that God is good and knowing I don't always do what God does, then that means I'm not good, and therefore I'm definitely NOT God. And that's a tough pill for anyone to swallow. . We all want to be the captain of our ship, the grand poobah, the head cheese. God reserves that for himself alone, and I'm glad he does. The world would be a much more messed up place if I were in charge. I'm not sure we'd even still all be here. Praise be to God that He is Good and He is Lord over all!

Losin brain cells here

All I hear and see is pride,pride, pride. That's why he left the faith!

_For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar_ - Romans 3:3-4

Job 1:21 “And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.”

Jeremy (perhaps unintentionally) used a witcher's tactic at the beginning of his question, tearing down Frank's confidence by saying that it was when he read all of Frank's stuff is when he decided that he thought God wasn't real. Not sure the validity of that claim, but even if so, it's possible that Jeremy is under strong attack and satan is actually strongly interacting with him, feeding him with very sly questions to cause incredible doubt. I mean this from the bottom of my heart, if Jeremy, or anyone else would like to ask me questions about certain doubts they have, please feel free to let me know. We can Email or Skype or something. This is the first time I've seen Frank without a good answer. A lot because he doesn't know the Hebrew Bible and so doesn't understand what slow to anger means. And also seems like he doesn't fully understand the reasoning behind how God was righteous to take certain people's lives. So first I want to note that there is of necessity to make a very clear distinction between killing and murder. In the scriptures, even men were allowed to kill when done under the proper form of government and only according to the righteousness of God. This was not murder. And The Taking of the sinner's life directly effected the lives of the people around them in a Soul Saving manner. It is of absolute righteous necessity that certain evil men died so that wickedness does not prevail and cause more to stumble and fall and suffer the loss of their souls. It is so incredibly good and righteous that God would take a life, despite how much he loves that soul and does not wish him eternal punishment, in order to save the souls of so many more. He does not love taking the life of a wicked man, but painfully endures that death for the salvation of many others. To put it into modern terms, he makes the hard decisions. He is like the military General that understands perfect righteousness and judgment and knows how to choose the lesser of two tragedies. His heart aches so badly over the death of every Wicked Man, even when it was him that, out of necessity, ordered the death. Yes, God is God! And his good ways are written, so he can not turn around and do otherwise. If he did, he would indeed no longer be Good. Good is not an abstract standard, it is a standard that has been written, and anyone that transgressed what is written, is a transgressor of Good, including God. But never has he once. Not as the Father on the throne, and not as flesh on the earth. He has never once transgressed the written standard of Good.

Why do you presume a god has to be good? When we explore space and find primitive life on a planet. Will we always be divine and good? Why do you expect more for yourself than we provide for other species within nature? Alot of picking and choosing from a "man in the sky" to a divine spirit to the standard of good..with this logic you can dismiss any argument. We get nowhere. Look into the ancient Sumerian text - from which the bible is based. And look at the "sky people" and the ancient depictions of literal beings. There is also a divine source. But if you worship the god of the old testament. ie: Sumerian history. It is clearly literal beings. You sound more Gnostic in believe mixed with a willingness to blend the beliefs where needed? Do you belief in a literal god man. or the divine source of everything. - its a circular presentation without more specifics. "my god is better than yours its infinite and everything" seems abit of a cop out when addressing what the bible and what the ancient text actually say.

I heard about a high school or college professor who had his class make an exact, but miniature replica of the ark of God and they were unable to finish it because it became so highly charged electrically that it was shocking them. That's probably why God warned them not to touch it.

GOD is good because I experience His pressence. He change my life and give me the best Peace that I never found in anything of the world. That is what He does in my life so I know that He is absolutely Good.

I like the young man at one level. But, in the end, he comes across as arrogant, self-centered, and thinks he has the ability to judge God.

Claims to have done his research, still believes none of it is true. Sounds like he didn't do any research at all.

His very merciful over our life: because when we commit sin he didnt just kiĺl us and it is one simple answer to show he is merciful and good to us. God knew we would sin against him yet he created us. And there is much more.... and the scales of your eyes could only be remove by having a consist relationship with him. Inorder to see his goodness ,mercies, his love and grace in ourlives.

Turek is dancing around the subject. If murder is wrong? Is it wrong no matter who commits it? And what warning did God give the people of the Earth before drowning them? What warning did he give to Sodom and Gomorrah?
