The Bible

So what is this?

Backfire: God punished sinners by KILLING the first born children of each of them. He killed innocent children to punish adults. Children that had nothing to do with the crimes of their parents.

Because according to the bible, he did. Whether or not I believe it is irrelevent. I don't see what your point of asking if I believe it is. According to the bible, it happened, therefore, to all of you christians it happened. Therefore, the god you believe in broke his own rules, according to the bible.

No, He didn't broke His own rules. Only you people who do not believe in the Bible say He did, which is not surprising at all. 🙂

Uh....that makes no sense. So you believe in the Bible? Therefore you believe in that story where it says he killed innocent babies to get back at their parents. This takes place in the same book in which one of the fundamental laws is "thou shall not kill". But he didn't break his own rules? Do you not see a problem with this?

Can you site anywhere in the Bible that God did "kill" those innocent babies?

Oh, I know you can't.

But did you know WHY those things happened?

Uh, so nonsense to tell you because you don't believe in the Bible. 🙄

🙂

But you know why? You still insist those things really happened in the past as recorded in the Bible ... because there is "something" in you which tells you to believe in the Bible... which you cannot tell.

I am glad that there are non-Christians like you who still counts the stories recorded in the Bible as accounts that really happened.

🙂

Whether you admit it or not. 🙂

Exodus 11:4-8, 12:29-30

There are your references. Have fun.

It's also nice to know that you somehow know what I believe, and make assumptions about what I believe, even though I've said numerous times that I don't believe in teh bible, nor God. Nor did I say anywhere that I believed the events mentioned above actually happened. Ah, but according to you I "insist" that these things happened in the bible, even though I never said so.

Glad to know you have the ability to tell people what they believe, despite the fact that you're completely wrong.

I might be wrong in your own comprehension. But God knows who's right between you and me... and I am sure that God is in my side.

Good luck, Backfire. 😄

Don't worry, God will still have a sight for you.
God still loves you. 😉

Jury> There are parts of the bible in which god blatantly contradicts his own law. Thou shalt not kill. What about the Noah's Ark? The floods would have killed many innocent people. And as Backfire has already mentioned, the story of Moses freeing the Hebrews from the Egyptians. One of the plagues killed the first born child of every family. As for your attitude toward's the beliefs of others, your arrogance astounds me. If there is a god, I wouldn't be so quick to proclaim my own righteousness in his eyes if I were you.

Oh, I hope you understand what "punishment" do mean. 🙂

The flood was the punishment for the unrighteous and unholy.
Yes, there might have infants and small children who died in the flood.

But there is still difference in it.
The unrighteous died because of their sins...
Children and infants of those time did not die in sins...

The unrighteous will be judged to eternal punishment at the end...
but the children and infants have God's promise...
these children will dwell in God's Kingdom with Him.

Moses became God's instrument in proving to men that God indeed is God.

And at the end of time...

God will still prove the same thing to all of us who lived on earth.

🙂

I can prove my existence and power without killing innocent children. The promise of heaven does not justify murder. Not for men & not for any god.

For unbelievers.. it is murder.

The difference WhiteEagle is that... you're not God. 🙂

I don't want the love of a god who murders babies. Disgusting.

If I were god I wouldn't kill the innocent or perhaps even the guilty people. Does that make me better than your god? If god had killed your child, or drowned your family, I doubt you would still see it as such a justifiable action.

There is not way to justify killing all the first born children in a country just to get vengence on their parents. I don't care if you're god, Hitler, or Bill Cosby.

Then let it be. 🙂

God is God, no matter what you say. 🙂

And sooner, He'll prove that to you... and I hope you'll not weep eternally in punishment... I can only hope for the sake of your souls.
