When God is accused by GLPer of being mean,harsh, violent, or unfair.....................

I have noticed that some posts on GLP accuse God Almighty of being harsh, mean, violent, unfair, cruel, etc......
We cannot fathom the supreme wisdom of the Creator, and sometimes we cannot understand some of His ordinances.

God gave instructions, at various times, to particular people.
In the Old Testament, there were rules such as stoning disobedient children, putting to death adulterers, and other principles for life deemed harsh by some of the GLP posters. I've been giving some thought to this, and it seems to me that God, in His mercy, was preventing much more violence than that which was perpetrated on the "offenders" who are perceived by Bible-haters as "victims." God hates sin; sin spills over and hurts, damages and kills innocents.

God is sovereign, He is supreme, He has total understanding.
He gives us instructions, and He does not always explain why. We can only search His Scriptures and dig for the mysteries.
We cannot understand why He made some of the rules He made for us, but we can be sure that His way is best.
Maybe He felt that putting adulterers to death was just because of the hurt, pain (emotional and physical) and diseases that lead to death. If an initiator of the disease and suffering is put to death, then the spread of the disease would be prevented. The victims of sexually transmitted disease often suffer horrible deaths, after years of pain. We can see it in our own culture in the current age. Perhaps God's precepts and laws that seem "harsh" in today's culture were actually more merciful than the pain that multitudes of people suffer just from one person's transmissions or transgressions? Even the emotional pains resulting from sin and transgressions is difficult, but we have no idea how much disease and death that sin spreads.
When children are disobedient, when they curse their parents, when they are rebellious, if they are not restrained, their disobedience and rebelliousness becomes increasingly destructive, just as all sin does. Such children would probably wreak much havoc, even death to many people. So maybe it was just and merciful to great numbers of other people to put that oneyoung person to death, in those extreme cases.
When God told the Israelis to wipe out the Philistines, they were so steeped in wickedness and evil, that God wanted them wiped out! That must have been to curtail the spread of their abysmal paganism, disease, and evil.
God is always right. What may seem violent to some can only be mercy on God's part. His ways are above our ways, His understanding is impeccable, and He is supreme. Anyone who accuses God of being violent, harsh, or mean is a fool.
God is loving and God is merciful. He only gave us rules to guide us and help us live more successfully.
What may be perceived as mean from a worldly view is because of lack of understanding of all that was involved in His instructions to a new nation of His people.
