My answer is the same as given by Moses, (4:32-40) "For inquire now regarding the early days that preceded you, from the day when G-d created man on the earth, and from one end of heaven to the other end of heaven. Has there ever been anything like this great thing or has anything like it been heard? Has a people ever heard the voice of G-d speaking from the midst of fire as you have heard, and survived? Or has any G-d ever miraculously come to take for himself a nation from amidst a nation, with challenges (trials), with signs, and with wonders, and with war, and with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm, and with greatly awesome deeds, such as everything that the L-rd your G-d did for you in Egypt before your eyes? You have been shown in order to know that the L-rd, He is the G-d! There is none beside Him! From heaven he caused you to hear His voice in order to teach you. … You shall know this day and take to your heart that the L-rd, He is the G-d — in heaven above and on the earth below — there is no other. You shall observe His decrees and His commandments that I command you this day, so that He will do good to you and to your children after you.”
We are to follow His decrees while showing the love and mercy He shows to us.
Either what He says is true or He is not G-d. As harsh as that sounds, that is our final choice.
