The King James Version was written in 1600s English. The meaning of words have changed a lot over that time period. You can’t just say the meaning of the Bible changes because the English language has changed. That’s just stupidity. The modern translation of that word is closer to “calamity”
That’s neat. Meanwhile, explain to me how the “calamity” of the Great Flood was not evil, or how the “calamity” in Hell for all eternity is not evil, or how killing everyone on Earth who doesn’t bow to Jesus is not evil (Revelation), and so on.
He’s the source of all evil (and calamity), there is no evil without God. It’s stupid to think anything else. So stupid.
God says He is the source of all evil. Are you calling Him a liar? Your “talking point” is an absurdity.
Same reason as why sending someone to prison for committing murder isn’t evil. It is justice. Punishing evil isn’t evil. It’s Justice. And God is Perfect, therefore He’s Perfectly Just.
Thus says the Lord of hosts: I will punish the Amalekites for what they did in opposing the Israelites when they came up out of Egypt. 3 Now go and attack Amalek and utterly destroy all that they have; do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.”
Quite frankly, I find comfort in that the scum of this earth will be punished. I don’t need to bear grudges, as God would sort it out. The apocalypse is what this wretched race of people deserve. You see it in the news, we rape, kill and murder each other over lines on maps and money. We were given this earth by Him and we are actively destroying it. It’s actually so merciful of God to even let us live than to just end us all this very second.
If you’re talking about Job, Job makes it clear that it’s Lucifer who tortures people. Lucifer only tortures people when God lifts His protection. But in the end, Job was not only compensated on earth, but is in heaven. I doubt right now that thousands of years later, Job enjoying all of that thousands of years of glory really cares about what happened for those few short decades thousands of years ago.
That’s awful. You think Hindus, Buddhists, atheists, and others should all burn forever?
You are definitely bearing grudges.
Lucifer tortures people because God made him to torture people… God Himself likes to watch the suffering of others, and the smell of their burning flesh is like incense to Him. Disgusting filth.
It’s vile, the entire book from start to finish. But you go right ahead and take comfort in eternal torture.
Meanwhile, God Himself commanded His people to take slaves, rape, and murder, over and over and over and over. I’m sure you take comfort in that, too.
The King James version isn’t even 500 years old…
Oh no I haven’t memorized the release date of one of the billions of books
I’m so embarrassed!
CORRECTION: The King James version was good enough for God for more than four hundred years, so it’s good enough for me.
You should also give the year and month and day, but I don’t want to be pedantic (wink)

Tell me more about punishing evil infants.
1 Samuel 15:2-3
He punished the evil infants? So what?
Tell me exactly how an infant can be evil and worthy of death.
Infants do bad stuff too. They lie and steal and are full of deceit
There’s no justice in Hell.
There’s no justice in the Apocalypse.
He’s perfectly evil, and He hangs out with Lucifer and makes bets and tortures people for sport.
He said so. Are you calling God a liar?

If you don’t want anything to do with Jesus, He respects your decision.
If you’re talking about hell, no he doesn’t. Hell was made to torture him. Hell wasn’t made for Humans. Heaven was.
Rape was never commanded. God executed his judgement on the evil and the wicked. You cannot be mad at God for wiping out the wicked.
