If God is Real He's Unfair and Unjust

A. The Killings of God :1. The only interpretation I can get is that my opponent believed there was witches. If that's not what my opponent is saying, then I'm sorry. : That was very well what I am suggesting. My opponent never gives any reason to believe that witches don't exist other than her appeal to assumption. On top of the fact that if witches do not exist then the laws made to kill them are not going to harm anyone. :2. About punishing the parents, this is unfair to the children. Why not just punish the parents and take in the children and teach them "God's way. ": Children automatically go to heaven upon death. Now with that in mind, what if the only way to open the eyes and humble the parents is by the death of their child? Maybe the only way to turn the parents to call on God was to take their children(BTW were gifts of God. ) This also goes into laws of that day that children who did not respect elders were killed. The reasons the children acted this way was because of the teachings or lack thereof by the parents. Which is why the Bible refers to this punishment as intended for the deeds of the parents. :3. "This command seems to be directed to the Medes and Persians," but it never says so in context. Because of this I'd like to say that this is undecided due to lack of evidence of both sides. : It very much says so in the context. My opponent should read the chapters before and after this verse. In chapter 13 it refers to Babylon, Medes and Arabia. In chapter 14 it also adds Lebanon, Assyria and Palestine. :The other thing I'd like to address is, "You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me. " (Exodus 20:5) This is god admitting to being jealous, which against one of the seven deadly sins but that's not relevant. : Jealousy is not one of the seven deadly sins, my opponent confuses jealousy with envy. There can be good and bad jealousy. EX. A husband is jealous over his wife and a parent is jealous over their child. Note: The N. T. and O. T. are intertwined but for different messages. The O. T. is the establishment of the law and future prophecies. The N. T. is the fulfillment of the law and more prophecies. Therefore laws that were commanded in the O. T. are no longer valid to followers in the N. T. because Jesus Christ fulfilled them. EX. O. T. followers had to sacrifice animals and kill sinners to rid the sin amongst them. The price of sin is death. Once Jesus Christ came and died for men , that sacrifice was for all-time and there was no longer need for man to sacrifice for the sin. B. God Endorsed Slavery:"Endorse - Declare one's public approval or support of". Is God not approving slavery? Is he saying that it's okay to own a slave? Yes. I've given a Bible verse already showing that God approves it. That's all I have to say to end this topic. : The verse my opponent gives never says God endorses slavery or God wants slavery. God simply gives judgements on slavery. My opponent never shows us that men did not cause slavery. Furthermore she never shows that God wasn't simply giving His people restrictions on having slaves. She never rebuttals about slavery being a major part of society back then. She never connects slavery to the N. T. , showing that the Biblical message requires slavery. Pro has alot more to show then what has been given to prove God actually endorsed slavery instead of just putting restrictions on it for Israel. C. God is Not Just, Nor Does He Have A Heart:1. God says he's almighty himself. (almighty - Having absolute power; all-powerful): Yes, God is all-powerful and by being all-powerful, He has the power to allow you to make free choices to determine your own fate. :4. "I made this section to argue about the reasoning of Hell even though it helps nobody. I would understand Hell if God sent us back to mortality, to try again, or into Heaven after a certain amount of time. " In this quote I'm saying that would seem much more useful if we gave people a chance after Hell to put what they've learned into affect or giving them a timed punishment, not that no punishment should be issued. : To make this reasoning valid, my opponent had to show that people would change after hell. We see all throughout society of people receiving punishment for their crimes and still they do them. Punishment does not necessarily deter criminal behavior. It is clear from the Bible that God hates rebellion against Him and this is what hell is for, for those who would rather not serve God and rebel against His will. My opponent did not offer us a better deterrent for those who wish not to serve God. Conclusion: My opponent never shows us conclusive evidence that God is unjust. She simply is uneducated from a Biblical standpoint. This debate turned into more of a education of Biblical theology than a debate. My opponent had all the BOP and did not fulfill it.
