Sandy Bagelstein: How can you actually know God is a loving God just because the bible says so?
Secondhand experience wouldn’t be as good as first hand. You know, I can’t prove that God blessed me with a loving family as much as I can’t prove God let his chosen people suffer and die during the holocaust.
How do you know God is loving? Does he speak to you?

I think the buy-bull exposes a god who is a murdering bigot.
Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel. (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)
They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB)
But if this charge is true (that she wasn’t a virgin on her wedding night), and evidence of the girls virginity is not found, they shall bring the girl to the entrance of her fathers house and there her townsman shall stone her to death, because she committed a crime against Israel by her unchasteness in her father’s house. Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst. (Deuteronomy 22:20-21 NAB)
Make ready to slaughter his sons for the guilt of their fathers; Lest they rise and posses the earth, and fill the breadth of the world with tyrants. (Isaiah 14:21 NAB)
“Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, “Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all – old and young, girls and women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin your task right here at the Temple.” So they began by killing the seventy leaders. “Defile the Temple!” the LORD commanded. “Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill! Go!” So they went throughout the city and did as they were told.” (Ezekiel 9:5-7 NLT)

well lets see what I should share. I broke my leg when I was really little. ONe day I was upset at a set of circumstances I was going through and in that moment God helped me realize that he was there before I knew him because he told me which leg was broke by giving me a sensation and I didnt know it before he told me. my mom always said she doesnt remember when I asked her. The doctors told my mom I would never walk again let alone run and God informed me in my moment of circumstance that he was there from the beginning. He is waiting for you. He knew you before you were born he formed you in your mothers womb.Answer by Yoseph

Answer by The Beloved Apostle PaulWell…… I think you are a troll, with a user name like yours, but: The Bible is a Christian’s source of information concerning God/Jesus Christ.
As for allowing His chosen people to suffer, for the past 2000 years, Jews have been in a state of ‘Lo Ammi’, meaning “not My people”. This has been the case ever since Israel was cast aside, and concluded in sin and unbelief, the same as all other nations, as recorded in Acts 28:28.
If it was not God that blessed you with a loving family, then who?
Answer by Lightning From the EastIf God is all powerful and loving, why is there suffering in the world?
It is often asked why is there suffering in the world if God is all powerful and loving. Why doesn’t He stop it? Can He or is He weaker than we think? Suffering can fall into three simple categories: emotional, mental, and physical suffering. But, there are a variety of causes for suffering: morally corrupt (evil) people, disease, earthquakes, floods, famine, etc.
There are different explanations for why God allows suffering, but none of them can satisfy everyone. Therefore, I will simply list various reasons offered to account for suffering and evil in the world.

If God is real, then why did he make me an Atheist? Lack of his love? No, for he does not exist.
My first hand experience traumatized me emotionally and that showed more empirical proof that he does not exist.
My grandpa was a very good man, but one day he was feeling a bit sick. So they took him to the hospital where they realized he had colon cancer. All the surgeries took place etc etc. but for some reason, he got worse. our family prayed for him except for me since i was obviously an atheist, but i expressed my mourning evidently . So a day came and he passed away. not because of his sickness, but because of the doctors who performed all of the wrong surgeries, yet when they performed the medically correct ones they still screwed up. why would a god let that happen if he is so omnipotent?
god is not loving. he is a total douchebag if he were to exist.Answer by Ashley
Because He sent his Son, Jesus, to die on the cross so we can be forgiven of all our sins.
You need both blessings and difficulties, because one without the other is neither.
Answer by Connor MacLeodWell I look at this question with 3 possible answers
1) God is not omnipotent and didn’t know the pain free will would cause
2) God is omnipotent and just didn’t care
3) God doesn’t exist
But God has talked to me, I think, but he only told me that those with true fate will be saved by them selves not by him.
