You seem to be saying that God likes scum. If this is true, "What are you going to do about it?"

Maybe what one is to do is to beware of people who wish to be liked by YHWH, since they might decide to emulate some of his favorites?

So what does this little debate tells us?

Every single aspect of YHWH's character is FABRICATED... To some people (who care about spiritual dignity...) the fact that YHWH has ceased to speak to his believers for almost 2200 years now, comes as a (logical) surprise.

Since I was born, I faced such statements as "God spoke to him...", "God looked at her...", "God said this", "God said that" and so on. Being a youngster, I never did care about Bible's rationalism, so all those "statements" didn't tinkle my brain much. Now, at the age of 32, Bible's rationalism still doesn't bother me but this time because there are so little plausible events described in its writings.

In Moses' time, people were really prone to fear God's acts. Therefore, devious people such as Moses, made this "vis-a-vis" theme with God their second nature. Based on people's ignorance and mental inability, Moses did manage to create a fictitious series of close encounters with God, a sleek method followed by some other OT "prophets" later on.

Can any one of those Bible's advocates make clear to us why for so many centuries, there is a state of TOTAL ABSENCE of God's physical existence, be it sound, image, natural manifestation or similar.

So, in the bottom line, God doesn't express any kind of favoritism or rejection to any person from day one and this comes true since there NEVER was any kind of YHWH's physical manifestation whatsoever!

Any kind of dislike or favoritism is strictly based on some peoples' sayings (or better yet inspiration on the matter...). So YHWH never did like or dislike anyone because he never did implement a physical manifestation!

If I am wrong, then anyone who thinks so, must also answer to my previously stated question on YHWH's total disappearance from our planet's happenings for so many centuries now.

Some of you, YHWH's adversaries, know that you can't fool us any more, be it youngsters or not :Cheeky:

It's even better than that. At some point the leadership decides to justify its policies or changes thereof by fleshing up some legends of the past with the fictional character of Moses, claiming he had those encounters with God who had told him to implement said policies.

Anat, are you trying to interpret some Bible verses yourself? For instance, how do you know David really lied in 1Sam 21:3, or that the people he raided did not provoke him?

Chastity

How do you know he didn't? But does this matter so much for you? How about answering my previous posted question? Which was:

Thank you for your time.

It's absurd to twist verses to contend an immutable fact. David was a man of good chracter, and people should follow by his example. It matters to me since David is one of the few chosen by God to spread His revelation.

Because God has sent His revelations. NOBODY can see God, since He is beyond our perception (He created us after all). God also has no manifestations. God only answers to those who pray to him, something infidels will never understand.

If god is omnipotent, then why can't he make himself visible to us? And if god is loving, why would he be so secretive?

Anat

In 1Sam 21, David had been escaping from Saul. So how could he claim in verse 3 that "The king hath commanded me a business"?

Chastity

Then how come Moses reported seeing him, and some other fellas too? Well does he manifestate himself or not? If not then, Moses' reports are utter b******t.

But then again maybe there were many manifestations of YHWH back then but I guess now he has changed his marketing agent Well we'll never know
