Did he in any way qualify the sentiment expressed in that verse?
Did he suggest that God should be the one to make the life-or-death decision, not mortal men?
Would he have quoted that verse if he didn’t agree with it 100%?
He just stated what it said.
If a doctor says “If you don’t lose weight, you will die early”, it doesn’t mean he is going to kill you.
The Bible also says
Rom_6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
It doesn’t mean that someone will execute you because you sin.
I usually assume, if someone is a Christian, they agree with ALL Bible verses 100%.
