re: Amazon Prime new cartoon retells the creation story

You're honestly unaware of the instances God has killed children?

Noah's flood?
10th plague of Egypt?
The 3 or 4 different instances he commanded the Hebrews to commit genocide?
What do you think happened to Job's children?
Do you think there were any children in the cities Sodom or Gomorrah?

God is King of Kings, Lord of Lord, Judge of Judges. ONLY God dispenses PERFECT JUDGEMENT.


He says in the Bible he "knew" us before we were ALL born. He created us.

Everything is according to HIS purpose, HIS reason, HIS Plan -- not ours. We may not like it but we must trust Him. And no, NO one know anyone that other than that is IS GOOD. (see the chapter on Job).

As to "killing children," yes He has. Are you aware of the reasons?

1) Noah's Flood:

---

Gen 6 and Book of Enoch explain the "wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually."

Fallen Angels mated with human women to produce hybrid Giants/Monsters, i.e. genetic beings NOT created by God -- ergo they had to be purged from the Gene Pool. Noah and his 3 sons were literally THE last pure-blood left. They had 3 wives -- ONE of which coincidentally had some of the tainted blood in her DNA.

Bottom Line here: The Seed of God / Adam had to be preserved instead of the Fallen Angel / Nephilim-Human hybrid monster seed replacing it.

2) 10th plague of Egypt?

---

For 400 years Israel was enslaved. Noah representing God Almighty demanded Pharoah free them. After Pharoah was given several chances to do so -- while telling Noah and God to frick-off, God began threatening, then executing plagues. Pharoah was givena final chance to change his mind but refused. THAT resulted in the Plagues that killed Egyptian children. ON PHAROAH.

3) What do you think happened to Job's children?

---

Yes, they were taken by God for HIS purposes. (The Book of Job is a cautionary lesson in trust and obedience for the ages.)

quote:

4) Do you think there were any children in the cities Sodom or Gomorrah?

---

Yup.

According to (Jude 5, 7 NRSV), these were people who were exceedingly evil and immoral -- even so far as a band of them (homosexuals) followed two Angels / messengers of God into Lot's home, demanding access to gang-rape them. (fwiw, God blinded Lot, his family and the two Angels.)

Now I desire to remind you, though you are fully informed, that the Lord, who once for all saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe . . . . Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities . . . indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural lust, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.


Tragedies and deaths don't make things any less hurtful or "right" or "good" in my eyes or in Job's; it's just that sometimes we can't understand God's mind and purpose -- but must trust and accept it. That again was the lesson of The Book of Job.

PERSPECTIVE: We ALL die. We are on this Earth for 80+ years -- a wisp of smoke compared to FOREVER).

God assures us of His Kingdom:

‘He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,’ and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away.”

And of Eternal Reward:

"Rather, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him.”

Bottom line: God is God. He is Righteous God. A supremely just God. He is a Good God.

A Good and Just God protects His Own.
