this is one question that trinitarians try to avoid because they have created a very embarrassing problem.

Appetite For Destruction was one of the greatest rock and roll albums in history. Too bad they could never come close to duplicating it
i really can't wrap my head around how people can still consider god loving with such atrocious biblical accounts such as, 1 samuel 15, (god ordering the slaughter of amelikite baby's and children) 2nd kings 2, forgot the verses (god sending bears to maul 42 children) and many others.have you ever asked a witness or anyone elsewhat they think about these accounts?
what was their response?
