Let me see if I've got this straight. You do not believe in this 'desert god' but you are setting up the rules and criteria for others who do. What I actually think you are doing is trying to hold me and others who believe responsible for things that God has done. Sorry friend it doesn't work that way. I don't deny that these things are in the Bible but there is a huge difference between denial and not having an answer. You need to take this complaint to head office. I hear it's open 24/7.

As to your saying I'm picking and choosing you will have to be more specific. What I did say is what I think God says is now important. Most people who have studied this book would agree on this point, that in the Old Testament God was dealing with a group of people, The Hebrews, but in this present age He is dealing with each person individually. Looks like a progression to me. I like it.

As to the book of Job, yes I have read it. Job 13:3 " But I would speak to the Almighty and I desire to argue my case with God." Isaiah 1:18 "Come now and let us argue it out, says the Lord." Seems like a discussion to me.

Finally you need to be aware of the criteria for being a Christian. There is only one that I know of. That is believing that Jesus of Nazareth is the Savior. This works for young and old, rich and poor, gay or straight, moron or intellectually brilliant. It is the great leveller and only qualifier that I am aware of. If I am wrong on this one point then I respectfully concede all arguments.

Peace and regards.
