There are so many possible reasons but know this; A God who created all  things does not need to justify his actions to the things created. Not to you, not to me, not to anyone or anything.\n\nThe Bible says, theres a time for everything. "A time to live, a time to die..," and so on. When its time to die, its time to die and there is no walking away from it except through Christ Jesus.

No he didn't because why would God talk to someone who desires to kill his chosen people which are Isrealis unless God tried to talk some sense into Mohammed but apparantly Mohammed did not listen.\n\n\nIf you say so zun_noon

He didn't say he'd kill them on the spot.  He said they'd surely die.  Before they ate the fruit, they hadn't been guilty of sin or deserving of death.

Dear me.....Jesus who died for you is God in the flesh he has been a part of God forever and he is in total agreement with the father now understand a first born son could be 999 years old also understand that the passover happens today if you do not have the blood of Jesus covering your sins you are a dead man. Seek God and his word for understanding.God's nature is the same today yesterday and tommorow. It is righteous and merciful...God's righteousness demands we be perfect and yet we are not. It is the reason God willingly laid down his flesh to atone for your sin.

well, maybe one could say that without thought...but prehaps a better view is not that HE killed them but rather didn't save them. I't may sound like the same thing but try it this way.  If I told you to get out of the road, and you chose not to...when the car hits you, does that mean I killed you? Or perhaps its the cars fault? Or just maybe its your own fault?  \n\nNow I do seem to remember that there was this lifeboat...and all we've really been told is that Noah's family got on it with a bunch of animals. \n\nI've never seen anywhere that it tells us whether or not he offered anyone a ride, or chased anyone away either...But from what i can tell it was a big boat.  So he probably wasn't hiding out secretly building it in his garage. Just maybe people could have actually seen him building it for the last 100+ years or so...Add my guess is that his lifesyle was probably a good example that he just might have know what he was up to...just maybe...so just maybe people were to busy to care.  \n\nSo Just maybe when God decided to take a break from holding weather paterns in check...maybe a lot of people decided not to get out of the way, until it was a little too late.

Not only that but God told Joshua to go into a certain city, I believe it was Jericho and kill everyone, and not to leave anyone alive. Sounds more like Bin Laden than a loving God. The Old Testament God has been painted to look rather savage and bloodthirsty. I consider the fact that the Bible was written not by God but by humans with agendas and ambitions.

And Jesus continued: "God commanded your forefathers: 'Thou shalt not kill.' But their heart was hardened and they killed. Then Moses desired that at least they should not kill men, and he suffered them to kill beasts. And then the heart of your forefathers was hardened yet more, and they killed men and beasts likewise. But I do say to you: Kill neither men, nor beasts, nor yet the food which goes into your mouth. For if you eat living food, the same will quicken you, but if you kill your food, the dead food will kill you also. \n\nNow for the answer to your question:\n\n"And when you eat, never eat unto fulness. Flee the temptations of Satan, and listen to the voice of God's angels. For Satan and his power tempt you always to eat more and more. But live by the spirit, and resist the desires of the body. And your fasting is always pleasing in the eyes of the angels of God. So give heed to how much you have eaten when your body is sated, and always eat less by a third.\n\n                                       Page 301

You make it sound as God is not in control.. Indeed he is very much in control regardless of all the atrocities being done. Mohammed is a prophet according to Moslems. Nothing more and nothing less. For them also is another prophet.  Although 'Allah' in the old times was an idol name, however, today's Moslems' refer to Allah even linguistically as 'God'.. so the Arabic translation for the word God in the Bible is also 'Allah'.   God allows the devil to commit such terrible things so that we may understand, learn and change our ways and be always ready for that moment of 'departure'.  Death is actually when people die in their sins.  Of course the continuous struggle between mankind and the devil will exist till the end of times.. The devil knows of course his ending and wants to attract as many followers and make many fall and die in their sins.  Tribulations are normal in the life of believers but he said " Be of good cheer, I've overcome the world" and he also defeated the "prince of this world", that is the devil.  \n\nPray that we are not lead in temptations...

Actually, the real question is, why would he have to rest on the 7th day?\nWhy would he have to communicate via a burning bush.\nWhy would he have to kill over and over (floods, plagues)\nWhy would he be upset at us for gaining knowledge of good and evil?\nWhy would he want us to be mindless sheep?\n\nThese are not things that, by definition, any god would ever have to do.

Not lately, but yeah it's a Biblical problem. Abraham was stopped from sacrificing Isaac supposedly because God saw that he was willing to do it and that he was then convinced of Abrahams loyalty. Problem with that is it implies that God DIDN'T KNOW what Abraham would do AHEAD OF TIME. Since he is supposedly all-knowing, that really doesn't wash.\n\nAlso we have God supposedly telling everyone that to murder is wrong, but then he goes and kills a few thousand people in a couple of cities where he disapproves of their behavior, and tells his followers to kill others in his name in more than a few wars, inquisitions, etc.\n\nYep, pretty hard to swallow...

You've got it mixed up. This is the actual scripture:\n\nFor God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.\n\nNowhere does it say God killed Jesus.\n\nGod gave his Son to the people to show His eternal Love for us. \n\nThe misguided people killed Jesus.

The people who wrote the old testament had a great deal in common with modern day muslim extremists.\n\nA lot of moderately religious people seem to miss this extremely important detail every day.\n\nEdit - Samson killed himself dropping the roof of a temple on himself and his enemies...\n\nEdit - Do none of you Christians understand how you are completely validating exactly what I just said?  To the answerers here, saying Samson's "not like a terrorist" because he was doing "the will of God"... do you not see that you are speaking exactly like a suicide bomber?  :)  Seriously, think about what you've been force-fed, people.  Please, think long and hard about it.

:}\nYES\n\npeople kill because people are fallen creatures, we have killed for land, wealth, racial differences and yes for religious reasons.\n\nYes we need Religion , not in spite of the fact that we are fallen creatures but because we are.\n\nThe Sad part is that only one of the religions can be true and it can represent only one of the gods.\n\nGood vs. Evil are juxtaposed\n\nYES, we need religion but which one?

some kill because they have perverted the Word by misinterpereting it.  in the old testament, David, for example, would kill to rid the world of evil that had become interwoven into he fabrics of a certain race.  He would kill to purge.  this is a very serious calling, however, and probably will not be used in today's context.  only God Himself can ask a man to do this, and that man would be given the means to do so without breaking any of God's laws. (remember, the commandment said not to "murder", not "kill")  God will rarely tell one of His children to kill under the new covenant; He would rather see them saved, since now it is possible for all men to come to Him.  \n\nreally, for the most part, today people kill in the name of God because they have misread or misinterpereted the Scripture, and are extremists anway.  (ie. hitler)\nvery perverse people reside in this world.

He died so we wouldn't face eternal damnation for our sins. He was a sinless being who accpted his fate so that the rest of man could have everlasting life. What a sacrifice, I appreciate it every day.

It also says that God is VERY angry.  The bible clearly describes how he brought plagues, floods, and firestorms to kill thousands of people.  He also had millions more killed in the Crusades, the Inquisition, and the Holocaust.  In the Bible people are supposed to be stoned for violating any one of the hundred biblical laws.  If the church got its way then very few of us would still be alive.  It is a good thing they lost the power to execute people at will without any justification.  I hear the church is still bitter about that fact.

I like the way they used to do sacrifices before Judeo/Christian Religions were born. In Ancient America tribes used to rip the victims heart out while it was still beating. \n\nMaybe this "God" will be pleased with us, if we do it in this manner. I mean if this "God" forgave people by killing his own son, then he would be even more pleased if we kill Jesus as cruelly as possible.
