And even when it is a matter of something that would be wrong if <i>we</i> did it on our own (like killing every man, woman, and child, as with the Amalekites, etc.), it is neglected that God has supreme jurisdiction as Creator and Judge: something we don't have.Dave Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07771661758539438173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6422857.post-15537505068248312932010-07-20T15:56:24.666-04:002010-07-20T15:56:24.666-04:00I especially liked the Skeptic's Instructions:...I especially liked the Skeptic's Instructions:<br /><br /><i>Have a wrong concept of how God should have done things and then throw the rattle out of the pram when he does things differently - this is otherwise known as setting up a straw man and then knocking him down.</i><br /><br />I think so many folks, including those of faith, have a tendency to pre-decide what God's behaviour <i>ought</i> to be in any given circumstance. In this way we set ourselves up as the final authority; we become the standard-bearer for morality. The reason it's a "wrong concept of how God should have done things" is because we think we know better. Or at least we fancy that we know God well enough to know what He would do every time and in every case.Pilgrimsarbourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18046918223325823689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6422857.post-87899379879627395942010-07-10T11:14:19.650-04:002010-07-10T11:14:19.650-04:00Thanks!

Well, I think I am the "Bible Catholic" place, but shooting down all the alleged contradictions, etc., is the specialty of folks like Glenn Miller at Christian Thinktank, who does a superb job. People like that do all Christians (and atheists and other skeptics) a great service.Dave Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07771661758539438173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6422857.post-63338712182703537942010-07-10T09:47:37.862-04:002010-07-10T09:47:37.862-04:00Good job collecting the references Dave.Soon your ...Good job collecting the references Dave.Soon your site will be the goto place on threw web for biblical questions.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13750763393428404220noreply@blogger.com
