Why would we they have to first come to know Christ and come to understand who God is before getting into such a complicated subject. You act as if we are stupid or trying to scare our children into believing something, we teach through love and discipline not hate and fear. What I described was God disciplining His people because they knew they were in the wrong and being selfish in wanting to run the church their way instead of God's. Why do you think that the ones that did not die came to the church God was running and told us they were wrong, they understood what was happening. You are probably trying to figure out a natural explanation for this event but you're not going to find one. You could come here and question the people who were involved on both sides of the issue and you would hear the same thing I'm telling you, as for those who were being punished there is only one alive that I know of, to this day almost all of the ones who were trying to do God's will are still alive.

What would be phenomenally stupid...if you loved your children and truly believed in a murderous god...was -not- telling them that god would -kill them- for doing things he didn't like. That's need-to-know info.
Don't believe in a murderous god, we believe in the loving God of creation. You like to interpret things to suit your hateful attitude just to ride Christians and make yourself feel superior to Christians.

I do not lie, that's just another thing you like to throw out because you need to feel superior because you have no valid argument. I spread the message of Christ all the time, you're to blind to see what's put in front of you.

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.
