Respectfully disagree...
I see nothing wrong when the scientists focus the fact and proof in real life... but the bible is a book... where is proof and fact? Scriputure Yes, but many author beliefs interpret differently... which right bible, we should beleive to?
1) I know you see differently than I do. Revenge? mmm, remember, who does God choose to be His people? As you look at other people enslaved, attacked Hebrews. What happen if Hebrews been wiped out, if so, God will not be able to be born to bore all of our sins on the cross. You may ask another question, yeah, after freed Hebrews from Egyptians, why killing the people when Hebrews taking back the land? Those people, who are they? Do they refuse? More likely they do.
- 2)He is love, just like I mentioned on #1, the planning for the Messiah, due of the fall of Adam. If no Hebrews, then no hope for any of us
- 3)I disagree with that, Jesus were there all thru the OT. That's where the most argumentive perspective the whole realm of God. Remember what Jesus said, Father and I are One, meaning? One God. Remember in the OT in Book of Isaiah described of the plan of Christ on the Cross, New Covenant.

Jesus was with the Father thru the OT. Blaming Jesus about the bible? No. Does God always does mystery as enmity of the Bible always search to destroy the Bible? obvious yes. Does many looking at the bible and mislead many by misusing the verse in the Bible of wrong POV of who God is? Obviously yes.

Ask religious leaders? Brainwashed? Did you know, I wouldn't read my Bible without asking God for the Holy Spirit to enlighten me of the scriptures. Not only that, thru them, He teach, correcting, discipline and etc in my life and still does. I know it is difficult for different views in the scriptures. I have been comforting and coping thru His Word that He has given me.

Simple answer about Cain and Abel. Again, people has no idea the purpose of the sacrifice. No, did not burn them alive. It been slit the animals throat for blood spilt, for covered sin. Blood is picture of living. Fruit and veg does not. Jealousy is a sin, human jealousy is not the same jealousy God is. This where human get the wrong idea the difference between human jealousy and God's jealousy. He is doing every best to try to help people from destroying themselves, but instead, people left God know choice by letting other see how powerful God is, what people do, revere God and see the difference how people and God behaving. What the enemies do? They saw how God is, yet, refuse and claiming their handmade gods is more powerful and never succeed. Blood is the only way that God can pursuit people, bec blood covers our sins. That is why, Able does according what God called both to do, but Cain does it otherwise.

Even some scientist and also archeologist find proof according what Bible says. I grew up church without understand them, I read the Bible, never understand them. When I begin to realize, what I have miss out, that is I never ask Christ to come into my life. That's where begin to change the whole perspective and begin to see things what God trying to say and now, I understood the Bible very well, and still learning to apply my everyday life and seeing what God is trying to say and why I face severe storms in my life and etc. It is not the Bible itself, it is God gently speaking to my heart thru the Word, and why did Jesus keep saying, " Have you read, and still not understand?" And many other questions to point out to both religious leaders and His disciples. By reading the OT, I see everything match descriptions of Jesus than anyother religions and seeing what is the purpose of this life and God's planning.

Wake up? Well, there are some christians still refuse some scientist. And thru early years, some christians and non christians likewise does not believe some scientist whatever they find. As for me, when scientist say things like how the world evolve and the universe evolve, yet, not believing God, that's where I doubt them and it is not a fact of their beliefs, but opinion. Just like Book of Romans, people have inexcusable for not believing God by not noticing how all this been creating. As for how to be creating, God gave them gifts to use, but many still deny God, even their is fact what archeologist found like Sodom and Gomorrah, Red Sea and etc, and there is God, some scientist constantly claiming proof which other side disagreeing.

Proof and facts from scientist does not have any backing up. Many does not have any idea what the Bible is saying. Like the Bible, scientist backing up and where we can get the picture of what Bible is saying, some scientist, I meant. But it is not a fact how long the world has been, it is not the fact of how different dinosaurs way of behaving and etc, they assuming it. Bec it's been changing over and over and over again and still some of the scientist disagreeing and always will be. True, it is dangerous to wait till we die, if continue to disbelief. Of course, as of today, many people blaming God why not showing Himself till we die. God could ask, " Have you read?, I am doing every best to tell you, but you chose men and believe them and thinking they are your reliable source." (My opinion by get the idea of this purpose) Remember, like today, many follow Egyptians, Romans, Greek theories than Hebrews. Compare their god and Hebrew's God. Compare their intellectual which is far more than Hebrews. What is the point? Nothing wrong for being intellectual, but it is, how we use them.
