He did not want it to happen, not me, i am not God. Make sure to remember that. My point is that he did not want it to happen, because back then, he saw it as wrong and as a danger to humans on earth. I myself do not believe the bible to word, i believe that God is imperfect, and can make mistakes. So i tolerate gays and their doings, i am no homophobe, gays are human beings, and i would never mistreat one for their love life.

@Bolded:  I must admit that I find this statement to be a bit bizarre. If you believe that God exists, but is not perfect, then is He worth worshipping? Is He worth following? Is He worth trusting? How can you know if/when He has your best interests at heart?

I feel that it's got to be all or nothing. Either there is a God and He is perfect in every way, or there isn't one at all.

lol, yeah everyone i know finds it strange too. But i really believe God learns new things and grows from his mistakes. Even if he is imperfect, to me, he is still worth following. His forgiveness and love is all i need to know. He gave us freedom, and knew his son was going to die for our sins. I also believe he does not know the future.

But he has the best interest at heart for those who follow his word, and trust him. The reason though why i believe this, is because he used to kind of be a dick in the old Testament. He used to kill people left and right, and as i read through it, the bad outweighed the good for me. But then, i realized that maybe he is not perfect. That he learns, Jesus, helping him do that also.

Even though he may not be perfect, he is still the perfect God to me (just not actually perfect if you get what i mean). Now of course, i could be wrong, but i do have a strong feeling about it.

"As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him." - 2 Samuel 22:31

I think this verse causes a major problem for you. God's own Word declares His complete perfection. Would you suggest that God's Word is lying about Him? If so, why follow the Bible if it is directly lying to us? Couldn't it be full of lies and deception everywhere else, if that is the case?

Also consider: "...for God is greater than our heart and knows all things." - 1 John 3:18 ("All things" would include knowing the future.)

I don't believe that the God you are describing is at all consistent with the God of Christianity. You may have a personal opinion about God's dealings with man in the Old Testament, but that doesn't mean that there weren't reasons for God's actions. If you want to know why God did what He did in the Old Testament, I might suggest doing a bit of research instead of making assumptions based on your initial emotional reactions. Without the infallibility of God and His Word, everything about Christianity deteriorates into absurdity.
