God does not kill people

Sometimes I just cannot believe the stuff I read on this forum!

I don't suppose you've read Genesis chapter 7?

Or maybe this verse:

(Luke 12:5 KJV) But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

Definitely God has the power to kill and death is a part of the Creation after the Fall. In Luke 12 Christ explains that God is to be feared and that Christ will testify for them who confess in Him. The context is of judgement after death, not on death itself.

We were talking about infants who die innocently. It is possible, of course, to say that God takes them or even kills them, so long as it is understood that God does not desire their death any more than he desired the Fall.
