Killing is not always murder. God warned humans, beginning with Adam & Eve, that they would die if they sinned. The only thing that can reverse this process is gaining accurate knowledge of God & his son and then acting upon that knowledge! John 3:16, 17:3, Matthew 28:19, James 2:26

Actually there is a big difference in Killing and Murder. Murder is the unjustified killing of an individual or group. Countries kill in war but that isnt necessarily murder.

The Flood!
Also there was an awful lot of smiting going on especially in the old testament.
Today we have the religious wackos doing"God's work" by killing anyone who doesn't think like they do.
By the way, killing is not always murder. Accidental killing would be manslaughter, which is an odd word. It can be split in two parts; mans laughter.

Not all killing is murder. God ordered the Israelites to wipe out the nations in Canaan as punishment for their years of sin. Those nations were engaged in temple prostitution, child sacrifice, and numerous other evil practices. They weren't good people by any stretch. God was punishing them for their sin and at the same time made room for the Israelites. The Amalekites, for example, were wiped out bc they attacked the Israelites on their way out of Egypt.

not all killing is murder, and if you think that God murdered His children, what it is to you? and what it is to us? He is God, He can do whatever pleasures Him...
and in the case of His children (that you think been murdered) God is only giving us a warning.
1 Cor. Chapter 10
Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
For the wages of sin is death...

There are no such examples because God cannot murder. God has full authority over life and death. It is His to decide when a human being is born and when a human being dies. Murder consists of a human being usurping that authority that rightfully belongs to God alone, and playing God by overriding the will of God regarding the time of death of another human being. Murder is sin. Sin is rebellion against God and acting in opposition to His holy will. Obviously God cannot rebel against Himself, or act in opposition to His own will.

God did not murder anyone.
He is the one who gives you life and he is the one who takes it away.
God made you and he has the right to take you and to judge you.
Besides your never really gone to God.

disobedience bring death..period.
that is what sin does..it bring diseases, poverty and death.
it is a curse..in the man's nature.
So when GOD "DESTROYED" evil people..it was for the purpose of our society to have what it has..folks who follow rules..laws of the land...days of noah..only ONE MAN..was right standing with GOD..only ONE..earth would not exist..if GOD..allowed man killing man..babies..sodomy..lying..ect.
days of moses..folks saw the power of GOD.10 times..then divide the red sea..people saw GOD's AUTHORITY..moses up the mountain..people worship man made idols, kill a girl?child?boy? sex party? drunkness..ect.GOd was created 10 commandments..MOSES GOT ANGRY.a.nd split the earth..and swallowed evil rebellious people.as an example..GOD is BOSS..He want a clean race/nation of people..so that..JESUS.society.culture is HOLY before GOD..so that CHRISTIANS..can birth from that..and then born again.we have purity to pursue..GOD destroy what is EVIL.like folks in jails.that were wasting $32.000 per person.X 2million.
how serious the criminal?.they teach prisoner that leaves.how to be better criminals..mass murderer.automatice death..serial rapist, robber, drug lords..ect..ought to have death sentence, quickly.WHY..they teach evil to others..or do evil to others in jail..rape, ect.
GOD IS A JUST GOD.and the creator of your being. IF I WERE YOU..i would honor Him back..as for war..SATAN in MAN..does that.Islam attack us..so we are at war, for your peace at night, a place to work..ect.
