“So all of the Bible verses that tell of God killing people are wrong? False? Incorrect? Not Biblical?”

Job 1:18 While he [was] yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters [were] eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house:

Job 1:19 And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

Job 1:20 ¶ Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,

Job 1:21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.

Job 1:22 ¶ In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

Job 1:18-210

Why are you reaching into the OT when the NT is full of instances that tell us that God "gives life to the dead" (cf Rom 4:17), that "He is not the God of the dead but of the living." (cf. 22:32) ), that He does not kill? But sin, which God neither sees nor hears, does! It was man who ushered death into the world, not God. God did not create sin and death. God is not the source of sin or death. Love does not kill. Jews didn't get it because Christ wasn't around yet. They knew something, but they didn't know Christ.
