This is love: not that we loved
God, but that he loved us
and sent his Son as an
atoning sacrifice for our
sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us,
we also ought to love
one another.

"Two people owed money to a certain
moneylender. One owed
him five hundred
denarii, and the other
fifty. 42 Neither of them had the money to pay
him back, so he forgave
the debts of both. Now
which of them will love
him more?"

Jesus replied, "Anyone who loves me
will obey my teaching.
My Father will love
them, and we will come
to them and make our
home with them.

Let us not become weary in doing
good, for at the proper
time we will reap a
harvest if we do not give
up.

And the peace of God,
which passeth all
understanding, shall
keep your hearts and
minds through Christ
Jesus.

Behold what manner of love dat we should b called sons of God John 3:1

But God shows his love for
us in that while we were
still sinners, Christ died for
us.

The name of the LORD
is a strong tower: the
righteous runneth into
it, and is safe.

This is how God showed his love among
us: He sent his one and
only Son (Jesus christ) into the world
that we might live
through him.

For God so greatly loved
and dearly
prized the world that He
[even] gave up His only
begotten (unique) Son,
so that whoever believes in (trusts in,
clings to, relies on) Him
shall not perish (come to
destruction, be lost) but
have eternal
(everlasting) life.

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith Jehovah, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope in your latter end.

Jeremiah 29:11

If my people, which
are called by my name,
shall humble
themselves, and pray,
and seek my face, and
turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear
from heaven, and will
forgive their sin, and
will heal their land.

Beloved, if God so
loved us, we ought
also to love one
another.Take good heed
therefore unto
yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God

just as Moses lifted up the serpent
in the desert [on a
pole], so must [so it
is necessary that]
the Son of Man be
lifted up [on the cross],In order that everyone who
believes in Him
[who cleaves to
Him, trusts Him, and
relies on Him] may
not perish, but have eternal life and
[actually] live
forever!

For the grace of God (His unmerited
favor and blessing) has
come forward
(appeared) for the
deliverance from sin and
the eternal salvation for all mankind.

Who gave Himself on our
behalf that He might
redeem us (purchase our
freedom) from all
iniquity and purify for
Himself a people [to be peculiarly His own,
people who are] eager
and enthusiastic about
[living a life that is good
and filled with]
beneficial deeds.

In Him ( JESUS CHRIST ) was Life, and the Life
was the Light of
men.

Delight thyself also in
the LORD; and he shall
give thee the desires of
thine heart.

the LORD; and he shall

thine heart.

Thank you sir.

"But I have trusted in
thy mercy; my heart
shall rejoice in thy
salvation.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth,
and the life: no man
cometh unto the Father,
but by me.

For you, brethren, were [indeed] called to freedom; only [do not let your] freedom be an incentive to your flesh and an opportunity or excuse [for selfishness], but through love you should serve one another.

For while the Law was given through Moses, grace (unearned, undeserved favor and spiritual blessing) and truth came through Jesus Christ.

I hate and abhor lying:
but thy law do I love.Great peace have they
which love thy law: and nothing shall offend
them.

Therefore humble yourselves [demote, lower yourselves in your own estimation] under the mighty hand of God, that in due time He may exalt you,

How can you love a god who does cruel, immoral, and bad things such as these.


There is plenty of evil in “the Good Book,” but here are some highlights of God's 'love' to humanity;

1. God drowns the whole earth.
In Genesis 7:21-23, God drowns the entire population of the earth: men, women, children, fetuses, and perhaps unicorns. Only a single family survives. In Matthew 24:37-42, gentle Jesus approves of this genocide and plans to repeat it when he returns.

2. God kills half a million people.
In 2 Chronicles 13:15-18, God helps the men of Judah kill 500,000 of their fellow Israelites.

3. God slaughters all Egyptian firstborn.
In Exodus 12:29, God the baby-killer slaughters all Egyptian firstborn children and cattle because their king was stubborn.

4. God kills 14,000 people for complaining that God keeps killing them.
In Numbers 16:41-49, the Israelites complain that God is killing too many of them. So, God sends a plague that kills 14,000 more of them.

5. Genocide after genocide after genocide.
In Joshua 6:20-21, God helps the Israelites destroy Jericho, killing “men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.” In Deuteronomy 2:32-35, God has the Israelites kill everyone in Heshbon, including children. In Deuteronomy 3:3-7, God has the Israelites do the same to the people of Bashan. In Numbers 31:7-18, the Israelites kill all the Midianites except for the virgins, whom they take as spoils of war. In 1 Samuel 15:1-9, God tells the Israelites to kill all the Amalekites – men, women, children, infants, and their cattle – for something the Amalekites’ ancestors had done 400 years earlier.

6. God kills 50,000 people for curiosity.
In 1 Samuel 6:19, God kills 50,000 men for peeking into the ark of the covenant. (Newer cosmetic translations count only 70 deaths, but their text notes admit that the best and earliest manuscripts put the number at 50,070.)

7. 3,000 Israelites killed for inventing a god.
In Exodus 32, Moses has climbed Mount Sinai to get the Ten Commandments. The Israelites are bored, so they invent a golden calf god. Moses comes back and God commands him: “Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor.” About 3,000 people died.

8. The Amorites destroyed by sword and by God’s rocks.
In Joshua 10:10-11, God helps the Israelites slaughter the Amorites by sword, then finishes them off with rocks from the sky.

9. God burns two cities to death.
In Genesis 19:24, God kills everyone in Sodom and Gomorrah with fire from the sky. Then God kills Lot’s wife for looking back at her burning home.

10. God has 42 children mauled by bears.
In 2 Kings 2:23-24, some kids tease the prophet Elisha, and God sends bears to dismember them. (Newer cosmetic translations say the bears “maul” the children, but the original Hebrew, baqa, means “to tear apart.”)

11. A tribe slaughtered and their virgins Molested for not showing up at roll call.
In Judges 21:1-23, a tribe of Israelites misses roll call, so the other Israelites kill them all except for the virgins, which they take for themselves. Still not happy, they hide in vineyards and pounce on dancing women from Shiloh to take them for themselves.

12. 3,000 crushed to death.
In Judges 16:27-30, God gives Samson strength to bring down a building to crush 3,000 members of a rival tribe.

13. A concubine Molested and dismembered.
In Judges 19:22-29, a mob demands To Molest a godly master’s guest. The master offers his daughter and a concubine to them instead. They take the concubine and gang-molest her all night. The master finds her on his doorstep in the morning, cuts her into 12 pieces, and ships the pieces around the country.

14. Child sacrifice.
In Judges 11:30-39, Jephthah burns his daughter alive as a sacrificial offering for God’s favor in killing the Ammonites.

15. God helps Samson kill 30 men because he lost a bet.
In Judges 14:11-19, Samson loses a bet for 30 sets of clothes. The spirit of God comes upon him and he kills 30 men to steal their clothes and pay off the debt.

16. God demands you kill your wife and children for worshiping other gods.
In Deuteronomy 13:6-10, God commands that you must kill your wife, children, brother, and friend if they worship other gods.

17. God incinerates 51 men to make a point.
In 2 Kings 1:9-10, Elijah gets God to burn 51 men with fire from heaven to prove he is God.

18. God kills a man for not impregnating his brother’s widow.
In Genesis 38:9-10, God kills a man for refusing to impregnate his brother’s widow.

19. God threatens forced cannibalism.
In Leviticus 26:27-29 and Jeremiah 19:9, God threatens to punish the Israelites by making them eat their own children.

20. The coming slaughter.
According to Revelation 9:7-19, God’s got more evil coming. God will make horse-like locusts with human heads and scorpion tails, who torture people for 5 months. Then some angels will kill a third of the earth’s population. If he came today, that would be 2 billion people.

Now, Christians have spent thousands of years coming up with excuses for a loving god that would allow or create such evil. In fact, they’ve come up with 12 basic responses, which are the subject of The Tale of the Twelve Officers. http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/mark_vuletic/five.html
