Hmm interesting you say that. Well admittedly the question of "what is a loving God doing?" is a theme through the article. I bring it up because it expresses one of the big questions that confronts humanity, but that doesn't in itself make a rationale, it just motivates the search for a satisfactory answer. Scripture must be the source of the truth of the matter.
I do intend for all the reasons to be derived from scripture, and looking over it again, there are some things that I say which I haven't put the scripture references in for. For example: “He promised to come again. The second time will be different – He will come in great power, and overturn the world as we know it,” for which I could refer to Daniel 2:44, Matthew 24:30, Revelation 19:11-21. Please let me know of anything which you would like to see more scriptural rationale for. Looking over it again, perhaps the section "Making Sense of the Present State" (the explanation of the taking of the forbidden fruit by Adam and Eve and its consequences for the current state of the world) in particular needs more scriptural rationale?
