What would God do?
I was just reading an article about Elizabeth Smart’s testimony.
”God would never tell someone to kidnap a young girl from her family’s home in the middle of the night, from her bed that she shared with her sister, from her sister’s side, and continue to rape her and sexually abuse her. … I know he was not called of God because God would never do something like that.”
My first thought was “that woman needs to read the bible”. He’s done much worse. I remember this one time where he got really mad and KILLED EVERYONE ON THE PLANET EXCEPT ONE FAMILY. Sorry but that one instance alone is worse than what happened to Mrs. Smart. And really, that story is “low hanging fruit”.
It always amazes me how believers can make statements like that. I guarantee I could get her to say “God is beyond our understanding” within 10 minutes of a conversation about God. It seems to me that hypocrisy is a prerequisite to being a Christian. Everyone knows what God wants when it is convenient and then he is unknowable when that is convenient.
