God would've never ordered the stoning and murdering of the adulterers, the wizards, the homosexuals, the rebels towards their parents and all that is abominations before Him.

I don't quite remember this from the bible.  Either way, from the evidence I'd say this was someone misinterpreting God's will.

it is Him who inclines the heart of kings. Absolutely nothing happens without God permitting it

This is bull shit and you know it.  The whole point of Christianity and of God making man was that we had free will.  Otherwise there would be no sin and thus no "abominations before god" (Which you haven't convinced me even exist yet).  Therefore, God cannot possibly be making the laws because the laws are made by man, and man must have free will otherwise is it not God breaking the laws? (And if so, why should there be punishments?)

noboby can't but Jésus because He is the only One sinless  and the only One worthy to defines what true justice is

If this is how we define truth, right, and wrong, then everything in the bible must be assumed to be incorrect since none of it was penned by Jesus.  Even if it was, it was been translated so many times that everything is up to interpretation through human reasoning.  Which means that it cannot possibly hold the truth, right, or wrong.  Thus there exists no way of knowing that, since all other paths also rely on human reasoning.  (Not to mention that even if it was penned by Jesus and we had the original copy, it is still through a human language which I'm sure you're aware carries connotations and meaning beyond the words themselves.)

He hates sin and cannot even see it.

I'm not sure you have this right.  These are two separate unrelated things.  God does not like sin.  True.  But to say that God does not see sin is false.  Otherwise how would we be judged?  God sees sin, but in separation from the sinner.  Thus he has the ability to forgive us of our sins.  As humans we strive to gain this understanding of sin, and are only sometimes successful in it.  That is one of major themes of the bible.

He cannot tolerate rebellions

Umm, other than the one he leads against the king of Egypt (whom you claim is guided by God's will)?  You are speaking in absolutes that don't quite line up.

Quote

proof is the eternal punishments of the sinners, burning in torments and horrors in a lake of fire forever and ever

Source? (Also, see what I wrote about the bible above)  This sounds like an allusion to Dante's Inferno, which was an artist's interpretation of hell.  Thus is due the same reservations as human reason.

Consider this parable:  Four men are sitting around a fire with a pot of soup boiling over it.  Each has a ladle strapped to his hand, but it is too long to drink from.  In hell none of the men eat, and must go hungry forever.  However, in heaven all may partake in the soup.

Is it not our own choices (though free will) that make of the place we are heaven or hell?

I believe it is important to the understanding of God that we must first understand that the Church is a creation of humans, and thus is fallible (see crusades).  Thus, it is important to employ the use of human reasoning (there was a reason God gave that to us) to find what is (as close as possible) right and wrong.
 

While i agree with you on lot of things, you could see it in a different way because God uses men to bring His judgments  ( the great majority of the time ), for example: the 3rd World War that is coming ( and is prophetised in the Bible for the times we are living today ) will be orchestrated by men under the influence of satan yes, but will also fulfill God's plans to judge sinners and unholy nations, to clean the earth for His advent and protect Israël as well..  so in a way, we can say that these men will fulfill the purposes of God and although more than 2 billion of people will die in this appalling war, these people will be killed by other men and in same time accomplish the judgement of the Lord...

To me, the way you define hell with a finite punishments has absolutely no biblical foundations, on the contrary it states that the punishments is eternal and never end.. Perish in the bible is used metaphorically to designate an eternal condemnation and NEVER finite torments or destruction of souls... read revelations 14:9-11, matthew 25:41, matthew 3:12, daniel 12:2, mark 9:44-49, luke 16:23-24, 2 thess 1:9, revelations 20:10, jude 1:6 and there's much more and it's not hard to understand that the lake of fire is eternal. Now you are free to believe in this doctrin ( which i believe to be a lie ) and you are free to interpret the bible the way you want, at the end either you or me, we will be judged by the law of God, our consciences and the motivations of our hearts. 

Lemon have you really read the Bible ? there is not misintepretations at all, people may be free to find excuses in reason of the "good thinking" and take God as a lazy, fallible, limited and tolerant santa claus, but i can affirm before heaven that there will be terrible delusion and surprises on the day of judgment.. 

Now you said :

" I don't quite remember this from the bible.  Either way, from the evidence I'd say this was someone misinterpreting God's will. "

Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. Exodus 22:18

Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death. Exodus 22:19

If a man has sexual relations with an animal, he is to be put to death, and you must kill the animal. Leviticus 20:15

Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you. Deuteronomy 18:10-12

If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel. Deuterenomy 22:22

And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. Leviticus 20:10

And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death. Exodus 21:15

And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death. Exodus 21:16

Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. Leviticus 18:22

If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads. Leviticus 20:13

If a man marries both a woman and her mother, it is wicked. Both he and they must be burned in the fire, so that no wickedness will be among you. Leviticus 20:14

Want more ????!! If we was still living under the old covenant when the faith was executed by the law of God ( or the Torah ), alot of self claimed "christians" nowaday would be put to death... Grace of God is NOT a pretext and a license to sin voluntarily !

Oki lemon, that's your choice and i respect it, i've personnaly decided to follow Jésus and therefore His word, so i believe it to be totally true and when it says :

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. 2 Timothy 3:16

He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth. 1 peter 2:22

God made him who had no sin to be sinfor us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 corinthians 5:21

Just saying but Jésus is the ONLY true God : Father, Son and Holy Spirit ! He's the author of everything and the God of the old covenant as well : YWHW, Yeshoua, Adonai, Elohim, Hashem or whoever you want to call Him ! ( if you want verses to prove you all of this, just ask me ).

Now i don't need to talk in vain and to procrastinate, i prefer to leave this to the thinker and the wise men of this age, for my wisdom does not rely on myself but on the word of God and then it's not even my job to convice other people to believe in Jésus and/or in the Bible, that's the Spirit of God job ! For the rest is mostly misunderstanding, i doubtless expressed myself badly also.. I'd like to reply to everything you quoted but as you know i'm not good english speaker and i cannot fully express my ideas in english sadly, i'd be glad to speak about this in a different support though Peace ^^
