La Edad Media imaginó a Cristo como rey. La Ilustración lo presentó como filósofo. La posmodernidad prefiere un Jesús ambiguo, tolerante, siempre disponible para nuestras causas.
Cada época corre el riesgo de confundir al Cristo vivo con el fragmento de Jesús que más le conviene.

[Iglesia Bautista Internacional @LaIBI]

No es que la vida cristiana sea difícil; el problema es que no estamos viendo todo lo que tenemos en Cristo. En Él, el Padre nos ha dado a Aquel que es nuestro Sumo Sacerdote, nuestro Abogado y nuestro Intercesor. Y sin embargo, vivimos como si estuviésemos desprovistos de ayuda.

No es falta de provisión, es falta de asombro. Es falta de conciencia de la gracia que ya nos ha sido provista en el Hijo, de nuestras propias debilidades y de las dádivas de Dios. Cristo no solo nos salva de la condenación, sino que nos comprende, nos defiende e intercede continuamente por nosotros. ¿Estamos viviendo a la altura de lo que ya hemos recibido en Él?

The claim that the God of the Bible is evil is not just wrong, it is self-defeating, philosophically incoherent, and collapses the moment you actually read the book you are critiquing.

First, if you are going to prosecute the God of the Bible, you must engage the God the Bible actually presents, not the straw deity of internet atheism.

The Bible’s God is Trinitarian, self-sufficient, existing in loving relationship within himself before creation, lacking nothing, and needing no one. James says every good thing, sleep, pleasure, beauty, laughter, comes from him. That framing is is crucial.

If “God is evil” what is the comparative moral standard. What do you compare him to? If the universe is purposeless matter, then morality is just your nervous system firing preferences. You are just filing a complaint with no court, no law, and no standing.

If however your moral standard is real and binding across all people, then congratulations. You have just accidentally argued for the existence of a moral lawgiver. The accusation is either incoherent or it proves God exists.

But to go deeper, the terror of a needy, lonely, wounded God making capricious decisions is a terror we can rationalize since is just human pathology at cosmic scale. That is explainable.

What should make us pause is the terror of the God who lacks nothing, who gains nothing from punishing anyone and who was complete and satisfied before you drew your first breath. When THAT God judges, it cannot be ego. He has nothing to win.

Which means when the biblical God acts in severity, it is because justice is real and he is its embodiment. The atheist is prosecuting a deity that does not exist in the text they are quoting.

And who even has the right to determine what a people deserve? Who has the sight to weigh the full arc of a civilization’s corruption, the downstream of unchecked evil, the futures that never happen because judgment didn’t come?

The critic sits in a courtroom with a fraction of the evidence, and demands the verdict is overturned and that is baseless epistemic arrogance.

But most crucially, every other religion’s God stays hidden; conveniently invisible, and safe from examination. The God of the Bible, uniquely, when accused, enters the dock.

He becomes human. He submits to the conditions of his own creation, walks in it for thirty three years, and is examined at close range by people who wanted to destroy him. Roman judges, religious prosecutors, crowds, betrayers etc. All hostile witnesses with murderous intent scrutinising his every word and deed.

And the verdict returned by even his enemies: “I find no fault in this man”. The most morally examined life in human history belongs to the accused. You want to meet the God of the Bible? You already can. His name is Jesus. Judge him there, on the ground, in the flesh, and then come back with your accusation.

The concept of evil applied to this God is a man essentially standing in a house built by someone else, breathing air he did not make, using a moral vocabulary he cannot justify, and pointing at the architect and calling him wicked. The irony is hilarious and the case collapses, because the God being accused already answered it in person.

@Xcx1344066 @carrieholmesB @conservmillen I understand what you're saying about some of them respecting Jesus. But even though they call him the messiah, it does not mean it's the same Messiah from the Bible (God in the flesh) and even from history (they deny the crucifixion and resurrection)
