Exodus 12:29

If the dude was trying to prove a point, why not kill the pharoah and not the children. Plus i thought u ppl supposed to be all about peace?

Plus if i was the pharoah i wouldn't listen to some random dude in my head, afeter all, i AM phaaroah

SUDDEN THOUGHT, what if whatever gods the Egyptians belived in did that to the Christian first borns because their leader was being a jerk , what would u ppl think then

God issued a direct order to Pharoah. Pharoah disobeyed. The blood of those children was and remains on Pharoah.

Murder is the illegitimate taking of a human life.

It isn't murder when God decides to take a life, because he's the Creator, and has the right of life and death over all his creatures.

Wow! I wonder if you would feel the same if it you was your children.

This sounds like the same fanaticism of a suicide bomber who runs into a crow screaming God Is Greater.

The default response for murdering children should be disgust, not praise and administration.

Sorry typo, meant admiration not administration (Damn auto correct)

God didn't murder any children. As I explained, it isn't murder. Your argument that it is involves special pleading, and you haven't backed it up with any reason apart from emotionalism ("if it was your children").

When you think about it, every death is ordained by God. Why are you putting the deaths of the firstborn in Egypt in a special category?

My apologies, I incorrectly assumed that striking down children was generaly a bad thing... Remind me to be as indifferent the other genocides that have taken place in our time, as this has also ordained by god. Perhaps its just my ignorance, but I fail to reconsile these actions with a merciful, loving and omnipotent God... Smiting the first the born of everything to save a select group of people seems a bit harsh. If his got this kind of juice surely he could have found a more diplomatic solution by using the force to spontaneously relocate the Hebrew people

When you're unable/unwilling to use your brain to consider the merits of a position that isn't your own, sarcasm is not a sign of strength, but of weakness.

Its very hard to take the rationalizing of mass murder seriously.It seems unfair to imply that God cannot murder any more than a hurricane or earth quake can (if that is what you're saying). As far as I know natural disasters/deaths are not nearly as subjective in their fatalities as God is in the many instances of his genocides.

It always seems to based on some kind of disposition or in favor one ethnicity. This does not seem objective to me, and suggests some kind of intelligence behind his killing. It seems like God is making special Categories

No rationalizing of mass murder is necessary when no mass murder has even occurred. As I explained, God can't commit murder. Murder is when a human being illegitimately takes another human being's life. None of God's actions can be illegitimate, by definition. Everyone's lives are his to do with how he pleases.

enough, man your argument is crap the idea someone can be like i don;t like these people who don't do my religion i will punish them by killing their children in their sleep. This portrays your god as an evil and racist being. Frankly what if i argued all the terrorist attacks were allah's doing and were not really murder witch btw is:the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being-you would say otherwise. Please don't be a butthead and abstain from interacting with sane people if you want children to be killed-peace out

pls explain to me how killing children while they sleep isent murder. That scenario is the epitome of the creepy stalker vibe
