Is it moral to kill when a cure options is available?

[Greatest I am]

Again I cannot see his hate for Gays as a justification of smiting all the children and babies of Sodom when here again, he could have just changed their minds.

All it really says is that the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked. The group of guys that wanted to ass-rape Lot's house guests were just an example.I doubt it was an all butt-sex town.

He really chose the moral low ground in killing innocent children and babies

If innocents die in the process of purging the wicked I trust that God will provide and compensate for them in the afterlife. Joel 2:25 states that "He will restore the years that the locusts have eaten."

Not that it matters to you, but Swedenborg teaches that children who die before their reason has matured are raised by angels in heaven. If that's indeed the case the children of Sodom have the best foster care available.

You know this as a fact do you?
Or is it all hear say?

Or is it just you justifying your God killing children so that you can sleep at night?

Further. Even if you are right, scriptures show that in many cases, when God had men kill, he also ordered women raped.

Do they also get angel counselling when they eventually die?

Yes. That is what literalist Christians are saying.

You need to absorb the moral of this joke.

A reporter goes to Israel to cover the fighting. She is looking for something emotional and positive and of human interest. Something like that guy in Sarajevo who risked his life to play the cello everyday in the town square.

In Jerusalem, she heard about an old Jew who had been going to the Wailing Wall to pray, twice a day, every day, for a long, long time. So she went to check it out. She goes to the Wailing Wall and there he is!

So she watches him pray and after about 45 minutes, when he turns to leave, she approaches him for an interview.

"Rebecca Smith, CNN News. Sir, how long have you been coming to the Wall and praying?"

"For about 50 years."

"What do you pray for?"

"For peace between the Jews and the Arabs. For all the hatred to stop. For our children to grow up in safety and friendship."

"How do you feel after doing this for 50 years?"

"Like I'm talking to a fucking wall."

Love it.

The reverse precedent of God changing Pharaoh's heart from good to evil came before the flood so I do not think your argument above has any merit.

I really do hate to hang on the meaning of Hebrew words, but....The word that was translated in "hardened" ChZQ or Hazek, which means "to strengthen." In the example you used, God strengthened the conviction that was already in Pharaoh. Symbolically, 'Pharaoh' stands for the part of self that rules over factual knowledge. Meaning when we hold too fast to facts stored in memory, and see only what is directly in front of us, we miss out on things of deeper importance.

Yes you have.

Learn from those who have not.

Only if god existed...

Even if he did, how is it more moral to kill than cure?

[ Like a doctor, God will not force you to take the cure.

But he will force us to take death.

Quite a double standard.

You have not justified the murders of your God.
