Not for the first time have I seen The Old Testament God described as a God with a ‘dark side’. He is after all responsible for floods, plagues, famines and sometimes just outright genocide. However, according to traditional believers, it’s not so much the case that the Old Testament God is ‘trigger happy’ but that this more violent side is just another part of God, who like us, is multifaceted. Stephen Fry refers to God as ‘mean-minded’, ‘monstrous’ and even as a ‘maniac’ – blasphemous words indeed, but ones that do reflect the opinion those might have on a deity that destroys cities, spreads famine and diseases and at one point drowns the entire world. However, if we were to consult with the traditional believer, they might say that these actions are justified and that these acts are not ‘random vindictiveness’, but rather punishments owed to those who have done wrong.
On that note, in today’s episode, we’ll be analysing each and every time God snuffs someone out of existence and hopefully, we’ll have a more informed sense of what God’s final kill count looks like by the end of Genesis.

6:04 FUNNY you should say that. I thought Covid took out forty million. Thankfully far less. I still don’t know the numbers.
5:43 but folks were getting whacked left and right. Got to figure that in.
3:14 Try to understand. That’s Noah’s story. In other areas of the sphere we live upon, there were other righteous, worthy humans who would continue on , and be the father of many nations. Look at the Americas, Australia , other areas. Noah’s story was about that specific region. All of that was flooded
1:20 which was wicked beyond belief. How would you like living in a time where it was entirely acceptable to sell one’s children as food for other “humans”? That was the least of it! Abomination after abomination with the goal being to murder God. Nope.
1:09 Well, guess what’s going to happen to Stephen (my little fish) ? Is he going to Fry? Talking smack about the maniac; not wise. Oh’ thank you for mentioning his blasphemy, it is. *
* His son, is not by Human Nature, nor mechanism, but rather thru inheritance, as the son precedes the Father. In the same way , but in reverse the son receives his anointment thru inheritance … as we shall see in this generation.
HEAR O’ ISRAEL, the LORD OUR GOD, is ONE LORD GOD, and you shall love him with all your mind soul strength, as you love your neighbor you love yourself, as you love your LORD GOD. Then, Why does there appear to be two?
