Asking Christians: How is killing all the first born sons of egypt moral?

Nyatalia said:

According to my understanding, God punished them for enslaving jews, and this is one of the punishment. Why did God punishing innocent kids instead of adults who did the enslaving?

Some of the common responses are 1."Morality does not apply to God" If that's the case, how do to condemn jihad in Islam? They are not bound by morality because they believe God tell them to do it. 2."God is not supposed to be a role model" But Jesus is role model, And Jesus is God. 3."Grand plans, killing to the kids are necessary to achieve it" God is omnipotent. Hard to believe avoiding killing innocent kids is impossible for the omnipotent to achieve the grand place. Thank you for reading in advance. I got banned on another forum asking this.


Edit: question answered: God might killed the kids painlessly and sent them to heaven.

Hi Nyatalia,
Have you not heard the EVIL that the King of Egypt had done to the CHILDREN of the Jews ?

Then the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shiphrah and the other Puah, -Exodus 1:15
"When you serve as midwife to the Hebrew women and see them on the birthstool, if it is a son, you shall KILL him, but if it is a daughter, she shall live." -Exodus 1:16

So the king of Egypt called the midwives and said to them, "WHY have you done this, and LET THE MALE CHILDREN LIVE?" -Exodus 1:18

Then Pharaoh commanded all his people, "EVERY SON THAT IS BORN TO THE HEBREWS you shall CAST INTO THE NILE, but you shall let every daughter live." -Exodus 1:22

For what apostle Paul have said :
Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. -Galatians 6:7

Did it not the King of Egypt reaped what he sowed !

This is what the Lord God had spoken then :
Then the LORD said, "I have surely seen the AFFLICTION of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their CRY because of their taskmasters. I know their SUFFERINGS, -Exodus 3:7
and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians-Exodus 3:8

Are the Lord God only referring to the adults Jews who are afflicted and not the CHILDREN of JEWS ? Are not the children of the Jews also HIS PEOPLE who also suffered at the hand of the Egyptians !

What the Lord God have said through Moses regarding all the firstborn in Egypt that were struck:

Then you shall say to Pharaoh, 'Thus says the LORD, Israel is my firstborn son, -Exodus 4:22
and I say to you, "Let My son go that he may serve Me."
If you refuse to let him go,
behold,
I will kill your firstborn son.'" -Exodus 4:23

the Lord God have warned to Pharaoh of the consequence !

Before God struck all the firstborn in Egypt, God had relented but the Pharaoh was arrogant and would not the people of God go :
For this time I will send all my plagues on you yourself, and on your servants and your PEOPLE, so that you may know that there is none like me in all the earth. -Exodus 9:14

For by now I COULD HAVE put out my hand and struck you and your PEOPLE WITH PESTILENCE, and you WOULD HAVE BEEN CUT OFF FROM THE EARTH. -Exodus 9:15

You are still exalting yourself AGAINST MY PEOPLE and WILL NOT LET THEM GO. -Exodus 9:17

Have you heard what Pharaoh have said regarding the children of the Jews :

Then Pharaoh called Moses and said, "Go, serve the LORD; YOUR LITTLE ONES ALSO MAY GO WITH YOU; only let your flocks and your herds remain behind." -Exodus 10:24

he ( the Pharaoh) would NOT LET THEM GO. -Exodus 10:27
Then Pharaoh said to him ( Moses), "Get away from me; take care never to see my face again, for on the day you see my face you shall die." -Exodus 10:28

The Pharaoh had determined NOT, to let Israel and their children go !

So Moses said, "Thus says the LORD: 'About midnight I will go out in the midst of Egypt, -Exodus 11:4
and every firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the slave girl who is behind the handmill, and all the firstborn of the cattle. -Exodus 11:5
There shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there has never been, nor ever will be again. -Exodus 11:6

Did not you know the EVIL that Pharaoh had said after the Lord has brought Israel and their CHILDREN out of Egypt:

When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, the mind of Pharaoh and his servants was changed toward the people, and they said, "What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?" -Exodus 14:5
So he made ready his chariot and took his army with him, -Exodus 14:6

Have you not known that God delivered Israel and their CHILDREN from Pharaoh and his army :

Then the angel of God who was going before the host of Israel moved and went behind them, and the pillar of cloud moved from before them and stood behind them, -Exodus 14:19
coming between the host of Egypt and the host of Israel. And there was the cloud and the darkness. And it lit up the night without one coming near the other all night. -Exodus 14:20

The Egyptians pursued and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. -Exodus 14:23
And in the morning watch the LORD in the pillar of fire and of cloud LOOKED DOWN on the Egyptian forces and THREW the Egyptian forces into a panic, -Exodus 14:24

Then the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the water may come back upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen." -Exodus 14:26
So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its normal course when the morning appeared. And as the Egyptians fled into it, the LORD threw the Egyptians into the midst of the sea. -Exodus 14:27
The waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen; of all the host of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea, not one of them remained. -Exodus 14:28

Thus the LORD saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. -Exodus 14:30

Do you still think “that GOD might killed the kids painlessly and sent them to heaven” ?

You need to understand:
For the LORD loves justice; He will not forsake His saints. They are preserved forever,
but the CHILDREN of the WICKED shall be CUT OFF. -Psalms 37:28

Do you still think that God is unjust when the children of the wicked shall be cut off ?

Are you judging the Lord God is wrong to save His children?

What have apostle said regarding the wisdom of this world ?

For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, "He catches the wise in their craftiness," -1 Corinthians 3:19

Have you understood what Jesus have said :

They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. -John 16:2
And they will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me. -John 16:3

Is this not what those who do jihad have done?!

Jesus have spoken that those who put people out of the synagogues or churches and kill —-have not known the Heavenly Father God and Jesus !

Now, have you known the Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ?

Have your life been a witness to CHILDREN that they may be saved in Christ Jesus?

Have you prayed for the Jews and their CHILDREN who are prosecuted around the world ?

Have you prayed for the good of GOD’S CHILDREN in all nations?
