1Peter 1:20 0 He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.
The above quote shows this as Gods first actual judgement and shows the setting and accepting of a bribe or human sacrifice to corrupt his justice. That justice usually stated that only the punishment of the guilty was acceptable to justice and that it would be unjust to punish the innocent. That corruption of his usual justice is what the bribe or sacrifice of Jesus bought. Injustice.
This corrupted judge is the judge you would vote for is it?
So you are addressing Christians or perhaps some subset of Christians - those fundamentalist Christians who agree with your interpretation of that quote.
I address those with enough judgement to see the foolishness of reading literally and who recognize that the O T God is lea than he should be by a long shot…
That quote is one of a few that indicate that it was all planned beforehand.
But you do point to the problem of speaking to Christians. There are so many flavors it is hard to keep track.
If you need to keep track, I suppose. I raised the issue since the thread title simply has ‘God’ so it might be addressing theists in general. This seems common on the internet that theism is conflated with Christianity, generally a specific version of it, or if it is broader, then The Abrahamic religions or the Abrahamic God as conceived by some theists. Atheists and theists alike seem to do this. This can lead to things like someone thinking they have disproven God when at best they have demonstrated a conundrum in the OT or a paradox in CAtholic theological conceptions of God or some other, yes, potentially interesting Point - though likely one covered many times over - but not really a demonstration of what one should Believe or not Believe or even how to take certain texts.
As far as the OT, it seems to me one could take it literally, partially literally, literally but fallible, a mixture of literal and figurative and faillible or not, or just plain old entirely figurative.
