According to the Bible, God killed everyone on the face of the planet. I don't know how many people were supposedly alive in those times. Oh, and a bunch of people died after that, too. You know... after Noah and his family repopulated the entirety of the world.
Does someone have a problem with me reciting exactly what the Bible says? According to it, God DID flood the planet which DID kill everyone with the exception of Noah and his menagerie. I'm not saying I believe this, I'm just saying that's what the Bible says.
Gosh.... people are out to thumbs down today.

I don't know how you can get an exact number since the population before the flood is not given. Nor was the population in Sodom and Gomorroah given. Again in Egypt when God killed all of the first borns the number of how many that meant is not given.
There are a few cases where numbers are given. Like in Genesis when God killed Er and his brother Onan for being evil, even though there was no law by which to establish who was good or evil. & the 42 children that were killed for calling a prophet of God old baldy!
3 Million could be close or it could be way low. Frankly we just do not know!!
Luckily this God is NOT REAL!!!

Honestly, the bible doesn't give a number. Though this raises an interesting question. Are you talking about when God killed people via actions like the flood. Or, are you including those that have died due to sin. If you are looking at the second one than you might be better off counting those that didn't die (there are a handful).
Though, if the second is the case is it God that killed the people or the people that chose death?

It doesn't really matter how many. If they were put to death either by himself directly or by others under his direction, then it was for a good reason. God is merciful and just and anytime people were willfully wicked, they lost their lives. Before anyone was put to death, they were given ample warning and time to do the right thing but sadly, many never did. The people in Noah's time were told years in advance that a flood was going to claim the lives of those who did not put their trust in God. Only Noah and his family listened and obeyed and thus they survived the disaster.
The wicked people of Sodom and Gomorrah were warned as were the Egyptians in the time of Moses. Even Adam & Eve were warned that they would die if they disobeyed God's direct command, but again--they did not heed the warning and they eventually died.
God has given all of us now living another warning that soon his final war against all wickedness will occur and how many even care? Jesus said that when it happens, people will be acting just like those in Noah's time. They will pay no attention and the war will happen and they will not survive.
Instead of blaming God for mankind's suffering, we must blame his enemy, Satan the Devil.

The bible character God killed millions in the flood alone. The bible character Satan never killed anyone, but then it is just a story book. Jesus only killed one and that was in the Infancy Gospel of Thomas. He couldn't hold a candle to his old man.

According to this site: http://dwindlinginunbelief.blogspot.com/2006/08/how-many-has-god-killed.html
"It's impossible to say for sure, but plently. How many did God drown in the flood or burn to death in Sodom and Gomorrah? How many first-born Egyptians did he kill? There's just no way to count them all.
But sometimes the Bible tells us exactly how many were killed by God. Here's a list of those that I can find. (If you find any that I've missed, let me know and I'll add them to the list.)
So far I come up with a total of 2,270,365 (not inlcuding, at least in some cases, women and children). "

Cross out, 'the Lord smote them' and write in 'God invited them for tea and a friendly game of chess'. The numbers will drop dramatically.
Buy some Cayola crayons. pull out the blue, yellow, green, and tawny brown. Any part of your KJV that isn't in red letters, color the shade of your choice. Then wrap it in lead and aluminum foil and bury it under your house.
God doesn't kill, bad jokes do. I wish my jokes weren't so bad -- I've killed so many innocent people with bad jokes!
3 million -- if God was McDonalds, then the Golden Arches over God's head would blink in neon, 'Over 3 million served, oopps! I mean killed . . .

I heard it was 666 directly and about 2 million before he got his aim down.

I count about 2. He slain a man because he spilled his seed to avoid a lineage continuance. Everybody else was killed by another man. Even though the Hebrews killed canaanites via Gods instruction. they were devil worshippers in canaan.

I did not count, but when Jesus returns that number will seem very small.1/3 of mankind will be destroyed.
