I\'m a Christian, but I have some rather difficult questions about God, that I have no answer for. I\'m completely stummped. I figured I\'d just put them in one post.
God is all loving. But, I\'m curious. If this is the case, why does He command such things in the Old Testament? He commands the deaths of many people, talks about how much to sell a slave for, how to \\"deflower\\" virgins, and many other things.
Why did God command people in the Old Testament to kill others, when God could have done it Himself, as He did with Sodom and Gomorrah? Why did He command the deaths of others at all?
Why does God command Abraham to kill his son, then stop him just as he\'s about to do it? That seems cruel.
Why did God trust fallible man with His Word, when He must have known it would undergo many different, and, perhaps, fallible translations?
If the eternal fate of our souls hangs in the balance, why doesn\'t God make it perfectly clear to humanity that He is the Only True God, and Jesus Christ is His Son?
Sorry for the series of questions, but I feel like I need some answers. Thanks and God Bless.
