Rather, I am saddened by those who defend the practice.
Those who fear God do not threatened to murder small children.
Those who defend the practice only embolden them to “up” their “threats” by doing so.
“If you hadn’t done “X”, little Tommy could have lived.....”
In the end, God will deal with those who oppressed the innocent along with the guilty (or instead of the guilty), as he will deal with those who did not condemn those who threatened the innocent.
If you read the entire Book, my FRiend, you would find that God is rescuing those who do not deserve rescue, He is redeeming the elect not because of a "righteousness derived from Law", but because of His exceedingly merciful grace. If you believe you represent the "good enough to be deserving heaven", I caution you to re-read the text. Even Paul did not view himself this way. Your gospel suffers from the same misunderstanding that the Judaizers taught.
