Genuine question for Christian and Jewish people: If God is meant to be all-loving and ever-forgiving, how come he banished his creations from paradise after giving them the free will to disobey him? And what about the great flood? Again, I’m just curious

The punishment for disobeying was the banishment. The flood was the end of the world by water

I'm Jewish. Torah does not say god is all-loving and ever-forgiving afaik Sdom, Gmorah, Egypt, Corah.... God can get pretty pissed sometimes. And it is not pretty

For the flood, actually it is the same reasons dating back to the Sumerian version of the story (Gilgamesh hears it from Utnapishtim)

Why are you asking when the answers are in the Bible?

That’s a bold opening, ngl. I haven’t read the Bible in full and wanted to see what responses there would be. I never intended to argue a point, I was just curious

can people not question religion? the bible is a lengthy text and figuring this answer out takes a decent chunk of time. asking people who directly support christianity or judaism may offer insight to the OP he never knew before. can we not have a peaceful convo EVER abt anything jazakallah khair

Yeah they can if they're actually willing to have a peaceful one. Most keep asking then start poking fun at it. So excuse us if were broke down from being made fun. This isn't a joke to us.

i didn’t see anything from his question as “not peaceful”. i never said religion or your religion was a joke to anyone, no one said that. as a muslim, i understand the being poked and prodded, we go through that DAILY. but i don’t have this belief that anyone who questions islam is looking to make fun abt it? just be open minded, people want to learn.

yes “why are u asking if it’s in the bible” “why are u asking if u won’t accept anything we say” you’re invalidating their right to question something and being harsh abt it because of ur past experiences with other people who poked fun at ur religion and didnt take it seriously. ur assuming OP will do the same and ur being harsh abt it

and all the OP did was ask a question ? so how is it a problem when they ask something abt your religion and question it but when you ask a question being harsh it’s not a problem? telling the OP “why are you asking if ur not gonna accept” or “why are u asking if its in the bible” makes the question seem like it was a problem.
