    Amos 9:1-4

    1 I saw the L ORD standing beside the altar, ( A ) and He said:
    Strike the capitals of the pillars ( B )
    so that the thresholds shake;
    knock them down on the heads of all the people.
    Then I will kill the rest of them with the sword. ( C )
    None of those who flee will get away; ( D )
    none of their fugitives will escape.

    2 If they dig down to Sheol, ( E )
    from there My hand will take them; if they climb up to heaven, ( F )
    from there I will bring them down.

    3 If they hide themselves
    on the top of Carmel,
    from there I will track them down ( G )
    and seize them; if they conceal themselves
    from My sight on the sea floor, ( H )
    from there I will command
    the [sea] serpent to bite them. ( I )

    4 And if they are driven
    by their enemies into captivity, ( J )
    from there I will command
    the sword to kill them. ( K )
    I will fix My eyes on them
    for harm
    and not for good. ( L

    I dont remember who originally made this statement, But Jehovah was the originator of the first sword placing it at the entrance to the garden of eden blocking adam and eve's return(gen. 3:24.)

    All I know is, if that is really God, the God of the Bible, I want no part of it.

    That is one example of why I don't think the bible was written by a loving God.
