Again, how do you know enough to judge? If in a species of ants a malignant disease affected all but 10 and killing the rest saved the species... would you kill all but the 10 to save them? And would your action be just?
No you didn't say why! Now that we got this far and both agree god doesn't have absolute control let's ask the next question. Is god all knowing?
A disease is a bad analogy, because everyone is still affected by the disease 'sin' so the cleansing efforts went to waste. And, finally if god knows the future 1. why would he wait and ask them to repent again and again if he knew they wouldn't 2. why would god not kill off the first few ants who spread the disease before he would have to do something like a great flood?
PM me if you know where this is from "...knees in the breeze" and don't look it up!!
