I do. I read what Jesus says about not killing and being violent. He defiantly does not condone it!
Yeah it's really better to ask God about the killing of the children... And about other things too...
You seem like you have a lot of answers. Do you have a direct line to God?

I understand where you're coming from because I used to think the same thing. I don't think that children are punished by God for their parents mistakes, but not everyone starts life on even footing. Parents tend to cause their children to suffer because of their mistakes without God having anything to do with it.
If a gang banger has a child and the child dies during a shooting the dad was involved in, was the child's death God's fault? Obviously not. Sure, that isn't the same as a biblical story of God killing infants, but those infants are getting to experience the joy of heaven early.
I know it doesn't seem fair to our fleshy selves, but every day is a gift God didn't have to give us.
Yes I would love to ask and I have except I never hear anything back
This is why I am struggling! So many other questions about killings of innocent people that have taken place in the Bible but none of my questions are ever answered. Instead people just defend the killing of innocent people/children/babies.He did. He commanded it. God is the just Judge. He is not only love, but He has wrath as well, and in the Old Testament, His wrath and judgments came down swiftly and harshly. He is merciful now in the New Covenant because He chooses to be for the sake of His Son, who is building His Church. Once this age is done, the world will see His wrath again.
We are fortunate to be chosen by God to live in this time of His grace and mercy. Don't mistake who God is by that fact.
But if God is all powerful couldn't he just punish Pharaoh directly? It's not like he's blind and whatever angel of death he sends down and kills the nearest living thing isn't within his control.
Yes I do, through Jesus, His Son.
Please show us the verse where Jesus talks about violence being ok. Thank you in advance.
Cmo'n guys we are better than this!! We sound like muslims here defending the killing of innocent humans, babies of all!! We are Christians! Remember!?! Turn the other cheek, forgive, do not repay evil with evil, do not be quick to anger! How are any of these tenants consistent with our own religion!
Why would Jesus say that violence is OK for us? God's justice is going to be violent and it is OK.

Yes he could have, but God could keep every person alive forever and He doesn't do that either.
I think there is a difference between God doing something evil and ending a life He created.
Ok, seems you have different opinion with mine, can you at least answer letter e: am really interested on what your current pastor explains the final plague...
e. I wonder if you asked your pastors in the present and in the past, your profile says your raised Lutheran and now standard Evangelical, and I happen to think they will explain it as well in the same context as others have explained
But in order to avoid hypocrisy why would God commit violence, threaten us with it and then tell us to abstain from it?
God doesn't have to void hypocrisy. WE DO!
God commits judgments that are righteous and holy. You do not. A person cannot judge God and get away with it.
Asking questions is not judging good sir. God is omniscient and would have no problem answering questions! He is a just lord!
I detect something more than just asking questions, especially after all the good answers you've received.
...due to this comment:
"What evidence do you have that suggests Pharaoh would have killed millions? And what do innocent children have to do with the actions of Adults? If God wanted to prevent people from being enslaved and oppressed then why didn't he just prevent it in the first place? Im just not understanding why innocent babies have to die. People who defend the killing of babies should be jailed and possibly executed if they themselves have executed babies. The only kind of people who would defend the killing of babies would be the mentally ill, satanists, or people who have committed the act themselves."
