Was GOD a baby-killer because of Number 5:11-31?
483920
If it was a drink to root out adulterating women and not babies, does that make God a misogynist instead of a baby killer?  Interesting that no one is concerned about the men that cheat.  Further interesting that God encourages a woman to be punish for cheating by death (the penalty for cheating was death for WOMEN, not men.  There is no penalty for cheating for men except his wife is allowed to divorce him and marry someone else -- according to God; she can't divorce him if he beats her, but if he cheats, well alright then). \nAnyway, how the hell is a drink supposed to tell if a woman cheated?!  Is it a magical drink that differentiates between her husband and her lovers sperm?  What if she douched?  Kill her anyway, just in case?

GOD HAS A WILL AND WHAT EVER HIS WILL IS IT WILL BE DONE NO MATTER WHAT. HE DOES THINGS FOR A REASON.\n\nONE OF MY FRIENDS LITTLE ONE YEAR OLD BABY DIED AND NOW HIS MOTHER AND FATHER ARE BOTH SAVED AND IN CHURCH. I HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT THE LORD USED THAT CHILD TO GET BOTH OF THEIR ATTENTION AND GET THEM IN CHURCH.\n\nEVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON!

How do you explain anyone?  I finally found it.. Ha that was the test to see if I could found it.  I have heard two ideas of this one was the sons of God were those following God and Daughters of men, people that didn't follow God.  He normally forbids his children to go with un-believers.\nThe other idea was that sons of God became fallen angels or spirit beings.  Anyway this caused giants to be born.  \nYou will note the next verse that wickedness was great, which gives this the idea of being a wicked thing.  So whatever it was, the wickedness was everywhere and no one was caring anything about God except Noah.\nGenesis 6:4,5\nanother idea:\nOne person on this forum in the night claims that she is having a baby from a demon master, and by her words her baby is a demon.  How this kind of thing can happen exactly, I don't know, I am just reporting what she has said.

That answer above is awful.  The Bible says thou shalt not murder.  A baby is innocent. It's only mistake was that it was born to a mother that didn't want it.  Wars which also include innocent people are not completely innocent.  There will always be killing when it comes to good versus evil.  Sometimes its for good reason and sometimes its not.  But a baby is not a war.  A baby is a human breathing life, not a fetus, a life.  Anyone who is a Christian and has an abortion isn't really a Christian at all.  Jesus called children precious.  He didn't call them fetuses.  He didn't call them blobs of tissue.  He said it was a blessing to carry a child and be parents.  I don't understand how any church that says its Christian can condone abortion.

We need never fear about God being unjust. He just cannot be. His mercy and justice are from everlasting to everlasting. I therefore have to conclude, that there will be no children in hell. There will also be no retarded, or otherwise mentally-incapacitated individuals there, those who cannot fully comprehend and understand what Christ has accomplished on their behalf at Calvary.

I have spent some time think about this, and I have al so spent a lot of time reading the Bible, and after a lot of thought I find that God is not fair.\nThere is too much blood shead an death, that is not realy need for him to be fair, and when you see what is going on in the world to day, you would be MAD to say he is a just God.

I would say no.. and I've heard an argument (zealots don't attack me, I've not looked it up, only heard it) that in the bible a man kills a pregnant woman and his sin is killing the woman.. that is his only sin.. not for the death of the child inside her.. which would suggest that in the eyes of God a pregnant woman is one person.

Yeah, it's interesting, if you think about it. God can find a lover for some random lady in Oklahoma but he can't (or won't, whatever) prevent or stop disasters. Some crazy lady came on here earlier and tried to say that God DELIBERATELY didn't do anything about the Holocaust, because the Jews were wrong about Christ. Seriously, that kind of logic makes me shudder.

But the base idea is still there that life has intrinsic value. Also, conside the passage in Hosea that speaks of abortion as a punishment for sin (Hosea 9:14) and the passage that shows God's disgust at the Ammorite practice of killing babies in the womb (Amos 1:13).\n\nGod makes it clear that life begins in the womb, that we are made in the image of God, and that human life is more valuable than animal life. Put all those together and you can see that God has a very negative view of abortion.

Dont be so stupid,\nBabies are always an imminent danger\ncause they will someday grow up and fight, kill, murder. terrorise,\nOsama was a baby 38 years ago and so was Bush 50 years ago. All babies are dangerous,\nSo why stop killing babies in the first place,\nKill them all, whats the difference, after all they are all muslim babies, who owe thier alliegance to Alla, \n\nJewish babies have a lot to contribute, see ? like thier Bar Mitsovah, an occasion for all Jewish bankers for deciding more interest rates, and the Christian babies have thier Baptising ceremonies, wherein they have a great many dances and cheers, see? they contribute to the general well being, Take communist babies too, Kill them all, doesnt make a difference, Godless lot. they are far too many so many that even their govts say STOP.\n\nKilling babies is an art perfected first by the Jews now refined by the Christians,\n\nGod says so, read the bible, I quote.\n" Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have; do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass .... And Saul ... utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword." (1 Samuel 15:3,7-8) \n"The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their women with child ripped open." (Hosea 13:16) \n\nWhen the lord has given permission, who are we to stop them following thier lord. Wise up man, The lord said nothing about oil.

Happy are those that dash babies heads in the stone\n\nThe "wrath of God" is on all unbelievers. 3:36\n\n"The Lord knoweth them that are his." This verse was used by the Catholic Church during the inquisition to justify killing those suspected of heresy. (Kill them all, for `the Lord knows them that are His'." ) 2:19\nf a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death;  their blood shall be upon them.--Lev.20:13\n    While the Israelites were camped at Acacia, some of the men defiled themselves by sleeping with the local Moabite women.  These women invited them to attend sacrifices to their gods, and soon the Israelites were feasting with them and worshiping the gods of Moab.  Before long Israel was joining in the worship of Baal of Peor, causing the LORD's anger to blaze against his people.  The LORD issued the following command to Moses: "Seize all the ringleaders and execute them before the LORD in broad daylight, so his fierce anger will turn away from the people of Israel."  So Moses ordered Israel's judges to execute everyone who had joined in worshiping Baal of Peor.  Just then one of the Israelite men brought a Midianite woman into the camp, right before the eyes of Moses and all the people, as they were weeping at the entrance of the Tabernacle.  When Phinehas son of Eleazar and grandson of Aaron the priest saw this, he jumped up and left the assembly.  Then he took a spear and rushed after the man into his tent. Phinehas thrust the spear all the way through the man's body and into the woman's stomach.  So the plague against the Israelites was stopped, but not before 24,000 people had died.  (Numbers 25:1-9 NLT)\n\n\n    Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear.  Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ.  (Ephesians 6:5 NLT)\n\n \n\n    Christians who are slaves should give their masters full respect so that the name of God and his teaching will not be shamed.  If your master is a Christian, that is no excuse for being disrespectful.  You should work all the harder because you are helping another believer by your efforts.  Teach these truths, Timothy, and encourage everyone to obey them.  (1 Timothy 6:1-2 NLT)

Let’s look at the facts in the bible...\n\n1. God Killed millions when he flooded the earth.  Not only did he just kill them, he killed them by a tortuous method of drowning.  A most heinous and barbaric way to kill a single person, let alone millions and millions of people.\n\n2. God became angry and took it out not on those that he was angry with, but their cute babies.  He murdered innocent first born babies in response to his anger at their parents.  WOW!!! How wrong is that for any person to do, let alone a deity!!!\n\n3. God used his supernatural powers to sway a war.  He flooded a whole army killing them again by the suffocation of drowning.\n\n4. God teaches love and peace.  He gives us commandments like "thou shall not kill" which he, as a leader, can't seem to follow himself.\n\n5. He enticed Mary to cheat on her husband and fathered an illegitimate child.  A child whom he never supported until he was 20-30 years old.  Then he showed his love by asking his child to die a most heinous death of suffocation on the cross.\n\nWow, there are 5 horrific things that no god should be associated with!!!  Let’s look at Lucifer's history.\n\n1.  He offered knowledge to Eve.  Hmmm.  This sounds like a good thing!   Does Christianity look down on knowledge?  It sounds like the serpent was a great teacher. \n\n2.  Despite God's death toll of hundreds of millions of people.  Lucifer has ZERO deaths attributed to his name!!! ZERO!  Lets see God has killed hundreds of millions, and Lucifer... oh yeah, ZERO PEOPLE\n\nThe bible makes no sense:\n\nGod = good = murdering children.\n\nDevil = Bad = Teaches and promotes knowledge.\n\nBy the bible, Lucifer is the kind one and God is a murderous wretch!

I think perhaps God should make decisions like those. Medical Science is great and all but God has power over all things. Choose your child. From the mother's stand point what better way to die, than by giving another life. Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for a friend. (I think baby relatives count too.) From the father's stand point what better way to show God you totally trust him? A friend of mine was told about six months ago that she should abort her child because he would never breathe on his own, his skull would not be formed,his facial features would be distorted, and the child's brain would be in essence.... dead.Pam and Mike were basically told to kill their unborn child because a medical test "proved" it would be for the best. Rather than putting their faith in medicine they put their faith in God and  today a miracle happened. Pam gave birth to a basically healthly child. He is breathing just fine all by himself, despite some minor physical abnormalities he is a beautiful healthy child. Praise God for this precious life! If Mike would have put his faith in science, or Pam had chosen instead to have her baby aborted because something might be wrong.... well the world would have missed out on this brand new perfect life. The real question is not who can I save? But, in whom can I put my faith? You have no control over life or death, which means YOU can NOT Choose who lives. ie. If the father decides "choose" to abort the child who is to say that during the procedure the mother would not also die? It has happened. an abortion requires a serious, though minimally invasive, surgical procedure.It's called a Dilitation and Curretage more commonly refered to as a D&C.(not only for decicive abortions, a D&C is commonly done on women who have had a spontaneous abortion or miscarriage to prevent uterine infections)I personally have seen (working on a surgical floor) women who have nearly died from complications of this "minimally invasive" procedure.If you put your faith in God he will direct your path.
