In reply to Joe2aT.

In America such a dad would be labeled a deadbeat and possibly imprisoned for child abuse.

Or, some guy claims to transmit messages from the dad, which include descriptions of how the kid needs to be punished and when, and which include the message that the dad has given the guy the mandate to inflict the punishment prescribed by the dad ...

After reading eight respected Christian websites responding to this question, the majority of answers centered around the importance of faith and human free will. Not one mentioned the role of SIN. Sin separates US from God. In the OT it is always God who pursues us but must remain at a distance lest his presence as a perfect and just being demand a judgement. For example, when you have committed a crime, you do NOT want the police to show up. Though the officer hasn't changed, but your actions have changed your status from citizen to criminal. Thus the officer, if he is an honest faithful cop, would have to take action against you. Same is true for God. Thus God works through means like His Word, a parent, a pastor, government, to reach us both with His law and gospel, His truth and His grace. The question assumes a lot, primarily that the problem rests with God, and not first with us. Remember the last time God came to us, we killed him.

In reply to John Corbett. Justice should be aimed at scaring people into not repeating or imitating the crime. It is not an end but a means, otherwise it's revenge, not justice. Revenge is about balancing suffering, justice is not. Justice is using the balance to prevent more crime and suffering.

In reply to Brandon Vogt.

I firmly disagree. If they are in Th eKoran or any other book, you'd mock that answer. And check out this article on Deuteronomy 22:28-20: http://www.answering-christianity.com/karim/answering_apologists_and_exposing_rape.htm I've even seen a page on EWTN's website where the author, who is a friar, acknowledges it is saying a rapist is supposed to marry his non-betrothed victim.

This article puts the cart before the horse. To love a parent you must be convinced the parent exists first, not the other way around. and through The Beatific Vision, we would be able to know of God's love through observation.

Hiding oneself the way God does can be presented as a virtue of some sort at first but the thrall eventually wears out. Think of a child whose father hides himself from him for years saying, "I want to test his faith in me. I want him to know I love him but I want him to find out for himself." So the father never writes, never sends money to support the child, never calls, never makes contact of any kind. The only sign he even exists is a portrait on the wall that says "Dad". How is the child supposed to react to all this? Is this really the best form a parenting a parent can devise? Is this really the best form a parenting a God can devise? In America such a dad would be labeled a deadbeat and possibly imprisoned for child abuse.

In reply to screw the critics. Arent the stars-oceans-change of seasons-life itself God showing Himself? Or are you simply a hardcore atheist?

God IS Love. Its that simple. He doesnt "love" with a certain magnitude rather He is the actual Love we experience in life whomever it may be with. Two people in Love experience God (Love)- unlike most people who drag themselves to church on sundays. People who have a loving heart whom meditate upon Love are closer to God then the Pope is! In the deepest silence of meditation you will experience Love. Let Christ and the Himalayan yogis be your examples.
