Brace yourself for a blizzard of ad hoc rationalizations and excuses.
As predicted: 33 answers, and almost all of them claiming God never killed anyone. The rest simply argue "might makes right".
Tell that to the vitims of the Flood, the 42 children eaten by a pair of she-bears, numerous tribes exterminated to the last, children struck dead because of something their fathers did, etc...
Anyone who says God never killed anyone has never read their own "holy" book.

God has never Murdered any one!!! He is perfect and has a reason for all he does. It says in the bible that if you murder some one that you should be killed. Some people god has punished by death where probably murderers. As for people that die in car crashes that's just Gos giving Satan power. Satan is the prince of this world and he will get cast into hell in the end times. Satan does alot of the bad things. Lots of people think that satans opposite is God or Jesus But God has no Equal That includes opposites who are as strong as him. That goes for Jesus to Considering That jesus Is god. Satan is very week compared to them He is a fallen Angel something that God had created. God doesn't Murder anyone!!!!!

Murder and execution for crime are two different things. I know that is a difficult thing to swallow, but one of the key reasons that people seem to be dismissive of God is a misunderstanding of God's prerogative in ending life. It all boils down to attitude; if I am willing to believe in God's goodness, then if I see something I have a hard time dealing with, I will wait patiently until I understand it. If, however, I have decided that unless I understand everything about God, then it's all nonsense, I will tend to find evidence to support my position. Might I ask, are you biased in favor of faith or in favor of faithlessness?
If you are biased in favor of faithlessness, you will look at God's ending of a life as "proof" of his supposed lack of love or restraint. If you are biased in favor of faith, you will look at God's ending of a life and ask yourself, "I wonder what God's motive might have been? I know God is always fair, so there must be more to this."
Some people scoff at this, and that is their right. I have found, though, that if I dig a bit, pray a bit, and in general do due diligence to the question, I can always find the answer.
Back to your question, though, and no more beating around the bush. God has every right to end a life at any stage for any reason He chooses, or for NO REASON AT ALL. He is the maker, the owner, the giver of life. In what way do you suppose that we have the right to hold Him to an obligation to extend our lives even one more breath? The very ability of your lungs to process the breath that you draw in and the content of it are both creations of God. Would you fault Him for not extending what He was not compelled to give in the first place?
Have I made you think yet?

God takes what God gives.
Murder is only sin because its not your right to take the life of an innocent man. God tho, has all the rights to do whatever He wishes.
Which is why atheists hate religion so much.

God has not murdered anyone. And as for that, he has given life, God giveth, God taketh away. Its how the world works. You can't judge God on human terms because first of all, he's not even human. This question makes no sense whatsover. How do you give a trial for someone who you can't even see? God IS perfect. Everything he does, he does for a reason. God has no murdered anyone. Or did you see him going around with a gun and killing people? No, this question is ridiculous.

God is Sovereign. He is the Only One who gets it right - His anger is righteous - all else is just facsimile of the Creator
you know - kind of like when you make a template and then use the template to make more copies - they just get further and further removed from the original - they are similar in nature and form, but FAR from the original.
You can ask as many questions as you like. They do make me think. They confirm my belief, they solidify the gratitude that I carry for being a believer -
You know, being grateful that even if there are apparent contradictions and things I just don't "get" that I don't have to spend all my time questioning everything about existence. I am just able to believe.
Thanks for what you do for me there!

With your ridiculous questions, your problem is that you do not recognize who God is. You are blessed that He decided to make you. So how can the clay question the Potter. Without the Potter, you would not be able to ask a question.
THINK ABOUT THAT.

God does not kill anyone. The way you lead you life now determines your future. Every time you dis obey God or you parent you are shorting you life. see our God is good because he want force you to do anything he let you make your own choices about everything you do he will tell you what the right path is but he want make you take it. God kills no one

GOD has not murdered anyone. Man has murdered and he may have done so in God/Allah/Jehovah's name and that still does not mean GOD choose to kill...and no I do not think God told Bush to go to war either.

God doesn't murder. He doesn't have sin because He's not human; He can't sin. "Murder" is the term for when one man willfully kills another man. God isn't a man (as in, He's not human).
