Who is the sinner in this case, God for sending a servant to kill on his behalf or the angel of death for killing them, baring in mind that some of the first born may had well of been babies who could not understand that religion was.

Nice one.
Don't forget all the other options god had.
Move all his people out at the snap of a finger.
Kill the pharoah
Kill the pharoah's soldiers
CHange Pharoah's mind.
Kill thousands of children
Hmmm...
No ac, you are wrong, nobody can make god do anything. God setup the system, do what I say or I kill all the little children in your whole country. If I tell you to give me 1,000 dollars or I'll shoot this kitten, did you MAKE me shoot it by not giving me the money?
Wow, it's amazing how many people are wrong! Pharoah did not cause his children to be killed. God didn't have to sit there for 400 years watching his people in slavery. What kind of god is that? What changed his mind?

First of all, God did not send Moses to kill all the first born of Egypt. God sent Moses to tell Pharoh to let His people go or God would send the angel of death to kill all the first born of Egypt, therefore neither one is the sinner. It had nothing to do with religion.

People you have no idea what sin is. In order to get rid of sin blood must be shed. God is perfect and flawless and cannot be called a sinner. In the case of Egyptians... God warned them so many times (9 times prior to be exact) and they seeing all the signs refused to believe. So the blood must have been shed to cover the sin of unforgivennes. As for the angel he was just doing what he was told to do. He didn't do it out of his own will. Read the Bible people and you shall know the truth.

Are you saying God is a sinner? Wow, those are some risky words there buddy. And if you did what God said to, the child wouldnt die. I would be careful what you say, it may not matter know but God is the only one that can save you in the end and if you reject that friendship now...

God has told us in His scriptures that God is jealous for His children, those that love Him. The egyptians at that time had sucked the slave labor out of the people of Israel for 400 years and God wanted them free to create a people unto Himself. Egyptians relented on there promise to free them and what you are remembering is the aftermath.

God is incapable of sin, he is perfect, and has perfect plans. Sending the Angel of death was his perfect plan and it worked. Neither the Angel or God sinned. All the first born babies would go to heaven as they knew nothing of sin, they were innocent. As for the one's who were not babies and could be held accountable for their sins, they would of gone to hell if they had been told of God and what they should do for salvation and refused to listen. Without repentance you will not see Heaven. If they did not know and were actually ignorant of the one and only God, then I believe they were like the babies and not responsible, and therefore went to Heaven. The only ones capable of sin are humans, God gave us free will, we can choose to believe and go to Heaven, or refuse and go to hell. The choice is ours to make, for better for worse. What's your choice? God Bless!!

the egyptians, through their own fault, believed in various deities and enslaved "God's chosen people." Moses warned the pharoah of the seven deadly plagues, the pharoah didn't believe it and reaped the consequences... He could have freed the hebrews and saved his people from the plagues, including this specific one, but did not.

Pharoah was tho one who sinned. It was his stubbornness that caused God to send His angel to kill every first born.

no it was pharoah's wish
it was pharoah who challenged GOD that Allah grant one of His wish. God complied. it was the 4th/5th miracle of moses(pbuh).
it was pahroah who wished that all the 1st borns of egypt were dead. now since God had promised He completed His part of the covenant.
it is wrong to blame god for man's action. pharoah knew that Moses(pbuh) had a son and he wanted his son dead, but his curse was down on him first.
he challenged god that he will create a heaven on earth and trust me he did create a place as beautiful as heaven, but he challenged that God and Death cannot reach him.
now stupids like that need to be taught a lesson.
and also dont forget that noah's(pbuh) son was among the disbeleivers who drowned.
abraham's (pbuh) father was among the disbeleivers who were killed in hailstorm.
muhammed's(pbuh) cousin abu lahab and abu lahab's wife will burn in Hell until eternity for bad mouthing and disrespecting him.
and also never forget that no soul will be forgiven on the Day of Judgement until muhammed prays (pbuh) and the rest of the prophets (pbut) join him in prayer.
ALLAH KNOWS BEST.
