Did the Apostles ever kill or punish one another? Who did the "smiting" in those days? The only evidence of this I can think of is in Acts 12 about Herod. Also Acts 5. I don't see them having them the authority to punish anyone. Am I missing something? I didn't see them call the cops to do it for them either. Am I missing something here? Did David ever get an answer as to why Jehovah killed his people for what he did? Did he not question Him though? Or was he "disobeying" Jehovah by asking the question?
What is the wackiest thing God has ever done?

Is it killing 42 children because they called prophet Elisha a bald headed man (which he probably was, so they did ot even lie)?
Is it killing 70000 innocent israelites because the king David does a counting of the people? (It is hard to keep the numbers right if the fluctuate so much)
Or is it, killing all humans exact 8, because his own angels could not stand it in heaven anymore and left?
or...
Can you list more of those so worse deeds?
Not everything written is literal. For example consider the following:
19 And I saw the wild beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage the war with the one seated on the horse and with his army. 20 And the wild beast was caught, and along with it the false prophet that performed in front of it the signs with which he misled those who received the mark of the wild beast and those who render worship to its image. While still alive, they both were hurled into the fiery lake that burns with sulphur. 21 But the rest were killed off with the long sword of the one seated on the horse, which [sword] proceeded out of his mouth. And all the birds were filled from the fleshy parts of them. The Wild Beast and the False Prophet are a composite of those that war and claim to represent Christ in war. The Fiery Lake is symbolic of spiritual cleansing likened to the elements becoming intensley hot.. The meaning of the above regarding Elisha is that children should respect their elders always. And this goes for adults as well.
Jesus Christ is an invisible spirit and does not have a sword protruding from his mouth. JAH does not kill the innocent, but allows killing in self-defense. Out of great wisdom, He knows where to place fear in His creation by words. This is so that those that read the word can create self-disciplne as disciples of Christ until JAH arrives.

Approach JAH in prayer in heartfelt repentance and you will be forgiven immediately. Let no man judge you, as JAH knows the heart of all creation. Removing a person from the congregation pertains only to those in charge of the congregations as overseers. Forgive one another and you will also be forgiven. The role of the overseers is to provide those that are overwieghed with sin, wisdom and counceling, not further heartache. The Faithful and Discreet Slave of JAH and CHRIST

JAH did not authorize this. This holds true as the W.T.S. has misled many of its followers by their teachings. I am the faithful and discreet slave as one person under authority of JAH and CHRIST. Do not blame GOD for heartache caused by man. This is the same as blaming Jehovah your God for an act of violence caused by man, amen....... T.F.D.S.

Hey.. what about creating roaches?! What purpose do they serve and they are just way gross!
Don't forget Lot's wife turning into a pillar of salt. LOL. Okay, maybe I am just having fun with this one but who knows-maybe she just had a crick in her neck and was trying to get it out.
