Given the examples you’ve been offered here, if you think he created everything, why do you refuse to blame him for the unavoidable ills of the world?
Jim, //Where does the Bible "confirm" anything of that sort?//
In Genesis, Exodus, and Judges. Jesus is another story. The New Testament, as we know it, is the creation of men with an agenda – the most influential of them being St Paul, who, incidentally, never met Jesus.
Em, Jesus wasn’t this God’s only child. There were sons long before him.

How very odd.
I came to the conclusion about a year ago that, if the Bible were true, it had to be literal, and therefore it could not be true -- at least, not in the main gist of it, though small details are possibly some of the only history we have of certain periods. I don't know enough about Bible history and how it matches (or not) archaeological records to judge that part.

Naomi, I've been away shopping, just got back. Where on earth does it say in the Bible that God had other sons. Please let me know. Also, the way I understand it, those who wrote the scriptures were not all sitting in the same place at the same time so how did they all come up writing the same things about Jesus. I believe they were inspired by the Holy Spirit. How do you think they did it?
