"WHEN confronted with a problem
involving the use of the reasoning faculties,
individuals of strong intellect keep their poise,
and seek to reach a solution by obtaining
facts bearing upon the question." Manley P. Hall

where does that leave the ten commandments and how the one you accept as jesus followed them as law and what moses done. do you now deny the miracles as put forth in the bible? Surely he would have mentioned some of what you point too if it were true.
His question is why all the war with humans, Is the book really describing our real creator or are these characteristics just implied upon the original content they plagorized from?
It's a game of telephone, and it's not making him happy.

1) War and Destruction
2) Desire to be Worshiped
3) Asking Mankind to Accept their Message in Various Forms
The first two items are obvious. It's the third item that allows us to know what they need from us. What is it about mankind that they know and fear?

This is what they fear:
Genesis 1
So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
Genesis 3
22 And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever .”

I accept Jesus iff it is ever demonstrated in my lifetime that he is holy. As Jesus himself says, my generation will see all these things happen. Iff he loves his enemies and makes peace with us through confession of his life as Yahweh, then I am sure we will all do the same. If he fails to forgive his own enemies, they cannot forgive him. He has the same responsibility we have for making peace and loving enemies. War is not peace. Death and bloodshed makes him a liar. It's really that simple. We must see his goodness or there is none.
I accept the truth God shows me. I don't know who God is. Do you? I guarantee you do not know the Son of God we call Jesus. Words on a page are not actions we can verify.
