How come Jesus killed children?

Question

"And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works."

Revelation 2 2:23

He also destroyed cities...including the children in those cities...and approved of the drowning of everyone but Noah's family. Think of all those babies and children...how horrible a death for them.

"HE KILLED THE SIN NOT THE CHILDREN."

I don't think so...this is pretty clear:
"And I will kill her children with death"

"Please, don't try to make God out to be some hanus murderer."

He does that himself.

"Please learn basic english...thank you."

Answer 1

The wages of sin are death.
Sin brings death, disobedience to God is a sin.
God warned of this and He was disobeyed. He is God, He can do whatever He wants.
He destroyed entire cities under the law (OT), we are now under grace.
Revelations 2:23 is talking about the followers of Jezebel, who was a wicked woman and false prophet. They are her "children" because they follow her, just like Christians are the "children" of God.
Please, don't try to make God out to be some hanus murderer. He is God and set forth commandments for us to follow, He clearly states that the wages of sin is death.
May God have mercy on your souls for things you say here. BTW, mocking and blaspheming God is a sin......

Answer 2

1) You've misunderstood the context of the Revelation quote. Jesus is speaking about a false teacher/prophetess, whom He refers to as "Jezebel." (To fully understand this reference, you should read about the original Jezebel in the Bible; she was a pagan princess who married Ahab, the King of Israel; many Jews were lead into paganism because of her actions). Similarly, this "Jezebel" within the Church is leading Jesus' followers into a form of paganism; these followers are her "children." Jesus is saying here that these "children" will be subject to the second death, mentioned at Revelation 20:14, because they are unsaved. He is not speaking about literal children.

2) God has the unique ability to know exactly what each and every person who has ever lived will do with their lives. In the case of the Flood, He knew the children of those living at that time would grow up to be utterly evil and continue the rebellion against Him. Also, take into account that these people weren't entirely human -- they were half-breeds, since most of the women had been seduced by fallen angels (demons). This was Satan's attempt to prevent the very first prophecy in the Bible from coming true:

Genesis 3:14 So the LORD God said to the serpent:
“ Because you have done this,
You are cursed more than all cattle,
And more than every beast of the field;
On your belly you shall go,
And you shall eat dust
All the days of your life.
15 And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her Seed;
He shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.”

Eve's "Seed" (her literal physical descendent) is the Messiah; the serpent's "Seed" is Satan and his followers. Satan correctly reasoned that changing the human race into a race of half-breeds would negate this prophecy. The Flood ensured that God's will prevailed.

Answer 3

I would like to know where the first verse you mentioned is at in the bible so I can try to understand it. As for nobody but Moses and his family making it through the flood. I rest satisfide that all the babys and children that were killed are now safe in Heaven with God. However the others had plenty of chances to take heed the warnings from God but they were just like they always were in the past they had to have proof that it was going to flood.

Answer 4

The reason why He's killing the woman is because she committed adultery. As for the "approved of the drowning of everyone but Noah's family." :
Genesis 6:5, "The LORD saw that the human beings on the earth were very wicked and that everything they thought about was evil. He was sorry he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. So the LORD said, "I will destroy all human beings that I made on the earth. And I will destroy every animal and everything that crawls on the earth and the birds of the air, because I am sorry I have made them." But Noah pleased the LORD."

Answer 5

You are mistaken or you have taken this verse out of context. These " children" to be killed are the children or followers of Jezebel . She was one of the most evil women in the history of Israel . God never punishes the innocent . He gives to everyone according to his works bad or good. Come to Christ

Answer 6

Your post should read the following:

He also destroyed cities. Including the children in those cities, and also approved of the drowning of everyone but Noah's family. Think of all those babies and children. What a horrible way to die.

Please learn basic english...thank you.

Answer 7

Wow, I loved how you took that verse out of context. not even reading the chapter to see what the author was speaking about. The "children" your speaking of are the followers of jezebel, a false prophetess that was leading the followers of christ astray. They were not actual children but followers. And as far as the flood is concerned? God was passing judgement on mankind because of their wickedness. God is holy, so he must punish sin. Whether you believe that or not is your choice. But please, In the future, Research before taking something out of its intended purpose or explanation.

Answer 8

???
Revelation only goes to 22:21
There IS NO 22:23

If you speak of Rev 2:23, then you must see that the children of a church are not necessarily youth, or minors.

A false prophet (Jezebel) has taking leadership in the church at Thyatira. Those which follow her false teachings would be considered her "children."
Jezebel, and therefore all her "children" become the enemies of the true church, who are God's servants and "children."

Those that are killed are the enemies of Christ Jesus, and therefore worthy of death.

Answer 9

Jesus(PBUH*) didn't kill anyone. That was God. God killed the men, women and children of Noah(PBUH*) because they refused to give up their false idol worship and accept Islam and Noah(PBUH*) as a Prophet of ALLAH(Subhanna wa ta'ala) so God punished them. They mocked God. The same thing happened with the people of Lot(PBUH*). God destroyed everyone there for mocking Lot(PBUH*) and ALLAH(Subhanna wa ta'ala) and the men were having homosexual realtions. The people of the past were very ignorant and said that ALLAH(Subhanna wa ta'ala) didn't have the power to do anything and accused ALLAH(Subhanna wa ta'ala) of being a false God so to make a reminder and example to other communities ALLAH(Subhanna wa ta'ala) destroyed them except for the prophets(PBUT*) and the ones who followed the prophets(PBUT*). Even today in the modern world there are people who accuse Muhammad(PBUH*) of being a false prophet Astaghirfiullah and accuse ALLAH(Subhanna wa ta'ala) of being a false God. ALLAH(Subhanna wa ta'ala) is not going to punish them until the Day of Resurrection. It is not horrible. If those children had grown up then they would have comitted the same crime of worshiping other Gods in place of ALLAH(Subhanna wa ta'ala) like their parents so it's a way of saving those children from ignorance. Even today there are Christians who worship Prophet Jesus(PBUH*) as a God and worship his mother Mariam as a God. This is blaspheme.

Answer 10

In Revelations 2 God is talking about Jezebel. She was teaching people in the church to be immoral. God told the people to repent or would kill her children.
The children he was talking about were Jezebels followers.
