Is the Christian God a mass murderer? Drowned millions of little kids in the flood. Murdered sons of Egypt!?

Answer 1

You are alive because of God. He is the author of life. We all die and eventually leave this world, but God offers us all eternal life through the merits of Jesus' death and resurrection.

Answer 2

I think you got things backwards. From what i've read, the Egyptians drowned millions of jewish Babys, feeding them to the crocs. Drowned millions of kids? You mean the Flood? God ordered the flood due to the fact that all of humanity had become horrendously sinful, only Noah's family was OK. Now, they weren't just occasionally lieing or being mean, they were full blown pedaphiles, zoophiles, serial killers. They were really bad, humanity had reached such a low, its incomparible today, which is why God order the flood, and spared humanity by allowing Noah's family to survive.

Answer 3

ok, I agree with you that it seems that GOD has either caused the death of many or ordered the death of many. It is written and it is to be believed.

The only way I know how to explain this to you and myself is the following story.

Imagine you are three or four years old and you see this neat little creature in your play yard. You start following it, and watching it, you are totally fascinated by it.
All of a sudden a shovel comes down and chops off its head, leaving it dead in front of you.
You look up and see that it is your very own father who had done this cruel thing to your new playmate. You think he is the cruelest person to ever live.

What you didnt understand at the time, is that your friend was a poisenous snake and would have killed you had your father not come out and killed it first.

We are GODs children, and while we may not understand why all this was done, we will understand it someday. We just arent old enough, or mature enough yet to understand the reasons for these things.

Answer 4

Satan the Devil is responsible for all bad things that happen. God has allowed things to happen for a reason, but he is never the cause of suffering or injustice. People bring about their own troubles also. The people in Noah's day were warned about the flood, but they chose to ignore the warnings, so thay paid the price. People today ignore warnings about hurricanes or other disasters and then want to blame God when there is loss of life because they choose to stay where they are, knowing they & their families could die, which many do.
The Egyptians were also warned by Moses what would happen if they ignored God's demand to release his people. They were stubborn and refused to heed the warnings given.

Answer 5

Of course not. Because people are allowed to destroy anything they create. Just like how people are allowed to kill the kids that they created. It's the law.

Besides, those kids he killed in the flood and Egypt were clearly sinners. Otherwise, God would not have killed them. So it's not murder. They were warned, and it's not God's fault just because they had never heard of him or spoke the language that His Word was conveyed in. If they didn't want to die, they could have just attended church like the rest of us. That's why no Christians were killed in the flood. Think about it.

We cannot advance the debate if we ask the same question every day.

Answer 7

Genesis 6

1-And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2-That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3-And the Lord said, My spirit shall NOT always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
4-There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
5-And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil, continually.
6-And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

Children may have died but they are on their way to heaven. What could be better.

Answer 8

Technically, Pharoah made the call. God gave the option, and Pharoah chose death. The Egyptians were also holding thousands of Jewish people as slaves in bad working conditions, so it's not like a whole bunch of completely innocent people died. Kids, yeah, but they weren't all children.

Answer 9

God is the biggest terrorist we are going after. He is an expert in hiding. We are still alive because we have Asian, African, Austrialian, South American, North American who doesn't belive in Jesus during that time. All European who believe in Jesus was murdered, so that's why so small number of people know God's scheme.

Answer 10

He is not a mass murderer, but rather a mass Justifier. He metes justice as He sees fit, and He should know, because He knows everything.
