I didn’t say that God was acting in any way as an abortionist. How he causes things is also irrelevant.

It’s the effect not the cause which is at the heart of this - God decided to kill an innocent new born infant to punish his father’s sin. The author of the article claims that God does not punish the innocent. One only has to read the Bible to see that that claim is incorrect. God can and does punish the innocent.

You appear to want to dance around the edges of this issue and not grapple with the essence of it. I don’t understand why.

The God of the Bible is not like Baal or Zeus. He is also not impersonal, like the “Force” in Star Wars, or the god of the stoics, or the unmoved mover of Aristotle.of the Deity of Plato. That said, I am not dancing around anything: I just said that you miss the point about the story about David.
