Maybe God killed the messiah in Egypt when he killed all the first born sons?

Since when is the Messiah supposed to be Egyptian and not Jewish?

God didn’t kill the firstborn of the Israelites for one thing.

Another is that He simply gave Egypt a taste of its own medicine and brought its own sin against others back on its head. It was pharaoh who first ordered the slaughter of the make Jewish babies.

Maybe you are as ignorant as this comment seems to indicate.

First, if you are going to attack the God of the Bible, then you must argue on basis of what it teaches as regards God.

Second, being the omniscient, omnipotent Giver of life (and every good thing), then He would certainly know all the who and what of every life.
Third, being the only Being who alone knows what all the effects will be of every action, not only in the immediate sense but their extended ripple effects in scope and degree, and effects of those effects, not only in the present but in all generations but for eternity,
and who can make all to ultimately work out for what is Good, with both proportionate justice as well as mercy and grace, and in which light He makes all His decisions,
then unlike man, God has the sole right to take life, aside from moral circumstances that He establishes for man to follow.

As for us, as exceedingly finite, fallible and often failing creature as specks in humanity and the universe and in time, we are in no position sit in judgment upon any omniscient, omnipotent being, and to do so is to presumes omniscient.

Thus, while miscarriages are frequent, as God knows and allows in the light of His attributes and justifiable purposes, these cannot justify man taking such innocent human life (aside from actually being needed to save the physical life of the mother, cf. Deuteronomy 22:6), or valuing it less than the egg of migratory birds.

Response?
