Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed, according to the Bible, because the citizens were not good people. They were wicked towards outsiders. They didn't care for the poor, etc. Here is something God said (according to the Bible) about why the cities were destroyed:
"She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me."
In fact the decendents of the lost 10 tribes purified America.....
Those on meat and not milk know that He will lose not one of those the father hath given him...not one shall be lost in the last day. That pretty much leaves our humanity out of the process.

God is; just, fair, and merciful..........well beyond human understanding....
It is your choice to ignore his existance.....
he could cleanse the world with but a small utterance of his voice, yet tollerates those who hate him, that is pretty benevolent..........
He sent HIS son to die a horrible death to offer YOU salvation.....that is pretty benevolent..........
Yeah, he is so benevolent he decided to create hell for everyone to suffer for all eternity then decided to make Jesus suffer for us. Wow, what a benevolent god.
A benevolent god loves all, regardless of their shortcomings. A benevolent god would not create hell.
Jehovah is hardly benevolent. Take a look at OT. Sorry buddy, you serve a malevolent god.

For you to disagree with this, you'd have to be saying that a certain breed of human are superior to another breed of human, which is racist.

Obviously beyond yours.

I believe in a God, but not the one you believe in. You believe in one you discovered in a book. I believe in one I discovered when I put the books away.

I believe that "salvation" you speak of was actually offered to one group of people only, the oppressed Jews, and it wasn't to save their souls, it was to guide them away from the religious lies they believed in. I believe the same "spirit" who guided Jesus has guided other people out of their oppressing and mentally trapping religions, all over the world, in many different time periods, under many different names. But this is just my opinion based on an observation through much research, nothing someone has told me or I read in any one biased book. I don't claim to be 100% right in my beliefs. I'm still learning and I believe we don't Stop learning until we convince ourselves we know everything we need to know, which is how progress is stopped. Fortunately, progress has worked around such ignorance.
There is one TRUE GOD.....his name is YHVH..........
He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begets not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him.
As I recall telling you in an earlier post that you are predictable.
It does not work with those on meat and not milk.
Also, if the answers are so predictable to you, then you must have some kind of understanding to the logic of my and others' answers unless you are lying to yourself and denying the logic of our arguments.
The assertion that Jehovah is the ONLY TRUE GOD fails on one of the grounds that different groups claim the same thing about their gods, which was my point in the first place in case you missed it.
Some would use a different method: chaotic and shocking answers to jolt Christians into awareness and better perspective. I don't do that. Maybe one day I will

Where did I find this? In the Koran (Surah 112).
So it seems you are at odds with Muslims who think Allah is the only true God.
The religion of Islam has as its focus of worship a deity by the name of "Allah." The Muslims claim that Allah in pre-Islamic times was the biblical God of the Patriarchs, prophets, and apostles. The issue is thus one of continuity. Was "Allah" the biblical God or a pagan god in Arabia during pre- Islamic times? The Muslim's claim of continuity is essential to their attempt to convert Jews and Christians for if "Allah" is part of the flow of divine revelation in Scripture, then it is the next step in biblical religion. Thus we should all become Muslims. But, on the other hand, if Allah was a pre- Islamic pagan deity, then its core claim is refuted. Religious claims often fall before the results of hard sciences such as archeology. We can endlessly speculate about the past or go and dig it up and see what the evidence reveals. This is the only way to find out the truth concerning the origins of Allah. As we shall see, the hard evidence demonstrates that the god Allah was a pagan deity. In fact, he was the Moon-god who was married to the sun goddess and the stars were his daughters.

Heliosprime,
You're a nut, and your god is dead.
I suggest moving to Saudi Arabia, where this kind of stuff still flies.
That is all.

Not the point at all. Many different groups claim that their gods are the ONE GOD. You claiming that your god is THE ONE GOD does not make it so.
