How do you reconcile a "loving father" who condemns the first people who disobey him and everyone else who follows...we all have to suffer. 

How is this on the face of it "loving"?

We hear people all the time talk about sick and dying children in hospitals in developing countries etc. 

We can argue whatever you want from the Bible but still at the end of the day you have people suffering horribly and yet you're supposed to say that this is God's plan and he is loving. Accept it and if you don't you will burn in hell for eternity-- because God loves you soooo much. I hear non-Christians make this argument. 

The book of Matthew is the only place that talks about the Magi from the East visiting Jesus. Now such a profound event would have the whole town gossiping and it would be a story for the family to talk about for many many generations. King Herod was involved. This was a big deal. But according to the scripture Jesus' own brothers did not believe he said he was who he was and that is also to include Simon Peter and Thomas. How do we explain this anomaly?
