And God, in the Bible, is not against getting drunk. And I suppose you'd throw the first stone.

And Trapped, your posts are great, and well thought out, but wrong in so many places.

I won't belabor them, but just one : The idea that we're all made in God's image, so we're all equal. Not only have we humans not practiced that, but neither does God. Example : God's chosen people, the equal Israelite's, and then all the rest of unequal image bearers.

And Sons to Glory. As far as I tell in the Bible, God has never had a perfect creation. He said it was "good," but not "perfect." And it was neither.

WOW - what can one say to these responses?! I am speaking to a believer in the God of the Bible here, right?

It is confusing. I don't like the God of the OT, but I'm a big fan of the God of the NT, except for Revelation. That book brings back the OT God.

I can sorta understand that. The God of the OT was dealing with us according to the law and was all about righteousness to the inth degree, with not much grace. Yet He showed mercy to those who trusted Him. Then when He came in the person of Christ, we got His provision/gift for sin, and along with it grace and truth.

BTW - the book of Revelation is about love.
