So, to be clear about the Exodus account, innocent children, first borns, possibly those who are only a few days old even, were killed becaues God sent the Angel of Death.
Heh pro-life Christians, why aren't you protesting GOD?

I've thought about this one myself. It seems to contradict a lot of Christian teaching.

Moses REPEATEDLY warned Pharoah of God's wrath if he didnt let His people go. (freed from slavery) This is the very last plague God cursed them with. If you recall Pharoah warned Mosees there would be a cry all through Egypt if he didnt stop his endeavors to free his people. Yes, there was a loud cry in Eygpt but it wasnt from the Hebrew. It was the Eyptians who suffered the lost of their first-born.
This is why the Hebrew had to put blood over their door...so the death angel would pass over them. (hence, the Jewish passover). This is so symbolic of how Jesus' blood protects us from death. Awesome topic!!

They were Not innocent. God had warned Pharoah time after time, pharoah first said he would let Israel go and then changed his mind. God warned the entire nation of Egypt to apply blood to the door post to spare them from the angel of death, but the egyptians did not listen. They were not innocent. Read the Whole bible, go to a church and get rid of the pro=feminist chip on your shoulder before you mock the Scripture.

Since Moses per God went to the Egyptians to repent and let god"s people go they did not. So the god, That he is that he showed loving kindness toward THE people that bleaved in JEHOVAH. And saved them and saved them through great torment.

Of course they did! If you read further, it says there was wailing and mourning. Sometimes God has to hit someone over the head with a hammer before we see what He's been trying to tell us all along.

I think it was old religious leaders who sent soldiers ot murder and kill the innocent, and blame a mythical god they knew did not exist.

I wish you people(non-believers) would learn about the different dispensations that have existed since the beginning. God has changed with each one. He has bettered himself and has made it easier and easier for us to go to Heaven. All we have to do now is believe that Jesus died for our sins.I could explain it to you and I will if you want to e-mail me. We are made in his image and so we should better ourselves. If you decide to e-mail me make sure that your return e-mail is activated through Yahoo.

It's just a story so that man will fear God.
