@ Sophia1993, be blessed and why not? All these verses are taken out of context, without going into each one individually but all the verses that are listed there are spoken out as judgement and or warnings of judgement. One thing we forget is the fact that God won't accept any sin without it being repented and forgiven. He in the Old testament warned His people Israel, and when they did not repent, He would warn them, (they could not say that they did not know) and made offerings of blessings to back the repentance act, and if that did not get them to turn back He would then punish them just as He had stated during the warnings being spoken out.
It might seem harsh, but our God has always asked His creation to "be Holy as He is Holy", and he pleaded more than once in His Word, "come now let us reason together says the Lord your God" (Isaiah 1) come on, our God says to you or I or anybody, pull up a chair, sit, relax and lets talk about whatever might be bothering you? How many of your friends would do that or even speak it out?
And to top it off He says one important thing also: "My ways are not your ways and my thoughts are not your thoughts (Isaiah 55), He says this to Job in Job 38 (an amazing statement from our God to us, listen:

Me, if you have understanding. [SUP]
5 [/SUP]Who determined its measurements Surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? [SUP]
6 [/SUP]To what were its foundations fastened?
Or who laid its cornerstone, [SUP]
7 [/SUP]When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy? [SUP]
8 [/SUP]“Or
who shut in the sea with doors, When it burst forth
and issued from the womb; [SUP]
9 [/SUP]When I made the clouds its garment, And thick darkness its swaddling band; [SUP]
10 [/SUP]When I fixed My limit for it, And set bars and doors; [SUP]

Wow, to have our Father ask you such questions, just think just to ask?
