Then the Lord said to Job, “Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Let him who reproves God answer it.”--Job 40:1 & 2
Why did the God of love kill so many in the Old Testament? The answer is hard to believe, because we have been so indoctrinated by humanism, but the answer is quite simple: He did it for love. How could God’s actions not be consistent with His love? Everything He does is an expression of His character.If there were an option better than the loving act of killing, God would have taken it. I personally have seen people so given over to sin that they were at the point at which death would have been a welcomed relief as an escape from the bondage. Once the heart is revealed and there is no desire for repentance, each day remaining in sin on earth only adds to the judgment to come. Would it not be gracious of a heavenly Father to take this life and stop the sin? Sin is unnatural and makes man miserable. God can stop our misery by having us turn to Him, and He can also stop our misery by taking our earthly life. We must ask ourselves an important question: What is the purpose of life if it is lived in sin? Is a life lived in sin really life? Love, love, love, God is truly love.
When a Believer lives in humanism, the actions of God are missed, mistaken, or misunderstood. Therefore, it is easy to see how so many question the love of God when it comes to some actions He takes that they don’t think (since they are thinking as they are god, humanism) God could or would do something like kill.
