a prophet
let's look at the God of the bible - not a prophet, but the creator of all prophets and everything in existence and what HE commanded his Chosen people to do to others
then, i would like for you to find me some verses from the Quaran that are equally or even more violent than these
and please don't come at me with that "well....that's the old testament " bullshit either

there is much more !
Your line of thought/POV [derived by cherry picking and ignoring other scripture] leads to the conclusion that the God of the bible,... creator of all life,... sender of Jesus Christ,...
is either evil or incomprehensible.
Well,... so be it,... for the rest of your time on earth [which of course is a mere blink of the eye compared to eternity] you are free to condemn God. That evidently is your choice. I used to exert myself to debate the issue. I'm old and tired now, and no longer care to debate the issue. I'm convinced by scripture you ignore that God is wonderfully good and that in Jesus I [and millions of others] have hope for a wonderful eternal future.
I'd be lieing if I said I care much about the fate of people who [for whatever pretext] choose to condemn God,... that is the downside of free will. But I do care enough to sincerely adivise all to refrain from condemning God. There isn't any good future in the "God is bad" POV.
