I'm pretty sure that people get sick and die with regularity. Especially the demographic of churchgoers..all getting long in the tooth. Similarly, cheating spouses are common among the faithful. This is just your average day on earth. You, however, would like to spin a narrative for us in which a limp wristed god punishes people, in this way, over a pile of sticks?
You seem to be fairly smart so explain why it only happened to the ones that caused trouble before anyone else, and why did most of those who did not die repent to the church. I'm not a liar, you can stick that notion where the sun doesn't shine.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
