Pharaohs punishment was the ten plagues for not letting G-ds people go. The last being the Passover where the first born in each family, human and
livestock died. This is true. Innocent children did die, but were these innocent children killed mercilessly. No.
In order to understand why these innocent children died, you must first understand what happens to children when they die.
According to the bible one can interpret it three ways.
1) Only elect go to heaven which means their fate was already predetermined. (Eph 1:4),( Rom 8:29)
2) Only those who would have believed go to heaven. G-d knows the end from the beginning and the potential as well as the actual.(Ish46:10)
3) All Innocents go to Heaven. These would be those who are not yet morally accountable.(Ish 7:16)
So the question that should be asked is do innocent children go to heaven when they die. And I believe the answer to be yes.
In the case with Pharaoh I believe that G-d took back what was rightfully his.He also taught Pharaoh a valuable lesson, and the Israelites were set
free.
#2) God gives us free will in hopes we will chose him. The Bible helps us make this choice.
Seeing through the churches hypocrisy makes G-ds voice stronger than ever. Nowhere in the Bible does it say you should serve a organization
#3) The people of Jerico had over 400 years to repent for their wickedness (Gen15:16) They did not.
These people were cancerously immoral,defiled with every kind of abomination including child sacrifice. they were far from innocent. As far as the
children go, You could say that G-d had mercy on them by taking them from such a unholy envirement. Remember that the Isralities did not do this on
ther own accord.This was a direct command from G-d.
It was necessary to exterminate any trace of the city. If anyone remained they would have been a threat to pure worship of G-d being they did not
believe.
#4)These slaves were like family.Definitely not what the Egyptians defined slave as.
#5) Ive already explaind innocent children diying. Job was restored after passing the test.
#6) The date of Noahs flood has not been determind. Prehaps the Epic confirms that thier was a
#7) The Bible says that Noah and his lineage lived long lives.It also said that from that time on that mans days shall be an hundred and twenty
years.(gen6:3) Show me a man that has lived longer?
#8) G-d is worried that mans knowlage had increased.They all spoke one language and were able to communicate to build such a tower.Nothing would be
restrained from them which they have amagine to do. They were thinking of themselfs and not G-d.So G-d scrambled thier language and humbled them.
#9) There is three critera for determining what books were to be included or excluded from the Canon of the NT.
1) The Books must have apostolic authority.
2) The document had to be congruent with the basic Christion tradition that the church recognized as normative
3) The documents had to continuously been exceptive and used by the church at large.
10)These commands were intended for Israel.
11) They were homosexual. Homosexuality is conciderd a sin in the Bible.
12) God did not plan that Abraham should actually kill Isaac. (Gen 22:12) He was testing Abrahams faith.
13)God wants us to multiply and have children.Does one strictly take a wife for fornication?
14)You are created in the image of G-d.He gives you free will.And when you screw up he always gives you chances to realize it.( he gave the Canninites
400 years)
15) Perhaps maybe they were called animals and not Dinosaurs.
16) Yes they were perfect and innocent and pure.But like a child, not all knowing.
17) He was a serpent not a snake.
18) This tree was the tree of Knowlage of good and evil, Not right and wrong
They knew not from right or wrong.Was it evil to eat from the tree.?
Not Knowing right from wrong, she did eat
19) Woman was made from man, Man is Greater than woman.
20) Your reading it wrong.
21) Through his commands G-d was teaching his people not to rape.You have to understand that people were barbaric back then. Rape was very common and
was conciderd not such a big deal either for the purp or the victim.Most often the victim knew her/his assailant very well and had relations with
them.
22) It was symbolic then and its still simbolic today.
23) He was not enjoying the heads that he instructed moses to hang. He was sickened by the fact that the Israelites joined in on worship of other
gods. God instructed Moses to kill them.Get rid of the cancer.
24) There are six covenants in the Bible
1) the covenant with Adam
2)the covenant with Noah
3)the covenant with Abraham
4)the covenant with Moses
5)the covenant withDavid
6) the covenant with Jesus
The covenant with Jesus was a new covenant. through which G-ds law will be written on the hearts of men and women. This new covenant fulfils all the
promises G-d made in the previous covenants.
Understanding the covenants is the key to understanding the bible.
25) The elect will be saved. .
In hurry sorry for spelling.
