God is worse than Hitler

Thank you for your response You said ["I can easily argue that the Egyptians were not an evil people. They contributed a lot to modern life. They discovered papyrus (an early form of paper). They invented hieroglyphics and made advances in astronomy to be able to point their pyramids towards the sun."] So what? These things are important but have nothing to do with morals. I mean, what if Hitler had invented the telephone? Would you think any better of him? This of course would not excuse his actions. It has nothing to do with his morals. The next thing you talk about is Egypt's economic status. You said ["Floods of the Nile had ruined crops and the Egyptians couldn't afford to release the very center stone of their economy."] You then went on to say ["How could God expect them to do this? It would condemn all Egyptians to die."] Obviously not. Egypt is still around today. Also, America is in an economic recession. Can you imagine if we used slaves to try to fix it. There would be an outrage. Why? because it's so wrong. The economic state of their country gives them no right to have slaves. Also, they didn't just enslave the Israelites, They severely mistreated them. So, this can't be used as an excuse. The Egyptians were evil. Just look at how they treated the Jews. No advances in science can make up for that. Even then, God still tried to save them. Throughout the story of the plagues God says to moses, "do these things so the Egyptians will know that I am God." Even during the plagues we see God still trying to save them. I'll move on to this, You said "My opponent's last paragraph dooms his case." Well I must admit, when I read that I was a little worried that I might have said something that was unclear or misstated that you could exploit. I was pleased to discover that this was not the case. You had this to say about a paragraph in my previous argument that you thought "doomed my case". ["This may be an easy thing for Americans to do, but think about others. There are many religions saying you must believe in them or else. That's another problem with God, a pure true ruler or message shouldn't carry a threat. Christianity survives by scaring people into joining for fear of Hell. Why couldn't God make a separate paradise, away from him so that he wouldn't feel sin but close enough to be amazing? Why does he instantly have to switch from paradise to Hell?"] Well, this could be explained by something the Bible says about hell, II Th. 1:9 is speaking about hell when it says, "shut out from the presence of the Lord." Hell is described simply as the absence of God. After people have lived their life, their time is up and their opportunity to accept Christ is gone. God can't leave people on earth forever until they accept him, it's not reasonable. Therefore if their sins are not forgiven, they are sent away from God to hell, where there is no presence of God. God didn't necessarily make hell to be torture, he just removes himself from their life, and the result is hell. Romans 1:20"For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse." God isn't asking anyone to do anything impossible, He's asking us to acknowledge our sin and ask forgiveness. Now, I think there is a misunderstanding about the death of Christ. You said " I think the reason Jesus died violently on the cross is mainly his fault. If God had chosen a better time for a savior to be introduced, he would just have to look at Muhammad. With God's "infinite knowledge" and ability to apparently see the future, couldn't he have foreseen a better time in which his message would have been just as effective and Jesus would have survived? I think God just did it to shock his followers." The whole point of Jesus coming to earth was to die. He always knew he was going to die, hence the word sacrifice. Jesus had to die to take the punishment for our sins. Also, the Bible's objective isn't to scare people into becoming a Christian, it's a message of hope. I've never gotten the impression that God is trying to scare people into becoming a Christian. I don't know how you could get that message. When you read the Bible it tells you that, yes, everyone has sinned, and no one can come to heaven while they are still sinners. But the ultimate message is that Jesus died for your sins. This is what is so great, God is giving us another chance. No matter what you've done, it's never too late. God is always willing to forgive if you just ask. Then you will spend eternity in heaven with him. I would next like to respond to what my opponent has this to say about my comment on free will in the garden. ["I have a lot of arguments I could use to disprove free will. God made human nature and human nature is self-preservation. Incidentally, most instances of a human following this nature is a "sin." Couldn't God have made us have a better overall nature and still give us free will, only without the temptations of following our human nature?'] Well, the anser to your questionis that God made us perfect in the beginning. Sin has changed us. Also it's ridiculous to blame God for our faults. If you know what's right then do it. Same goes if you know something is wrong. Don't blame God and say it's his fault for making you the way you are. If you know something is wrong you should have the discipline not to do it. Now, no one is perfect, god knows this.That's why he sent Jesus. But you still can't blame God for your mistakes. My opponent says this in response to my comment that when babies are born they aren't necessarily created by their parents["What happened to free will? Now the children aren't their children, they are creations of God that have nothing to do with the parents."] Well all I'm saying is that the humans don't actually create it. Yes, the humans decide when to have it, what to name it, and how to raise it. But the actual birth of the baby is not a human creation, babies are developed through a natural process. In conclusion, God and Hitler are copletely different. Hitler killed out of hatred. There was nothing to justify what Hitler did. God killed people in Biblical times, but it was for good reason. What God did was just and right. God loves people. God loves you, whoever you might be. God proved his love for us by sending his own son to die. Hitler was a man of hopeless, pure, evil. God on the other hand Gives everyone hope for eternal life through Christ.
