    If God is all-loving, why ...

    Well, the Bible does not exactly mention that God is all loving. Numbers 14: Romans 9: 1 John 4: I neither assert nor deny that God is all-loving. I'd stick to the phraseology in the Bible.

    If I had spoken out like that, I would have betrayed your children

    What exactly is the author saying in Psalm 73:15? What is wrong if he speaks out, and why would speaking out betray the generation of God's children? Let's see the context. Out of frustration, the psalmist vented in NIV Psalm 73: The inflection point of his venting occurs at I.e., if I go on...
