All those innocent little babies sleeping next to their moms deserved to die?

How and why do you know they did not?

Abortion is no comparison. When a woman aborts her child, she alone makes the decision to abort based on selfishness or fear.

G-d sent the angel of death to take the firstborn of Egypt. He based His decision on knowledge, a knowledge that He alone can have.

You should study these things to understand rather than to twist. They are far more profitable that way.

Shalom.

This falls under the category: MAN, I wish I'd said that!! I used it as a quote for the day in private email.

People love to point to these OT histories of God killing children as "proof" of His cruelty, but this only shows an immature understanding of the words "eternity" and "sovereignty." The entire Bible points to a God who is loving and just -- the innocents (as opposed to the "children" who were not children in the sense we think) are in Heaven with God and my personal belief is that they suffered not for the sins of their fathers.
