Why does god kill children?
by Comatose ini was thinking about all the accounts in the bible that indicate god kills children as a punishment or teaching experience.
1. kills all of egypts firstborn sons, who were innocent kids who did nothing to him or his people, who had no control over the decisions pharoah made.
how many times have you read that account or thought about it without realizing the devastating pain dealt to all those parents, and remembered those were innocent kids?.

ADCMS, also 2 Tim 3:16 is specifically talking about the Torah, not the New Testament in any way. The NT was compiled and cannonized around 300 years after 2 Tim was even written. Most fundamentalist Christians reason that God's might makes it right-- sorry but might does not make right, even with God.

Sorry this is happening. I too am awaiting the day when this very thing will happen. However, I do plan on defending my position to the very end to each and every single one of them that cares to hear. Hang in there buddy!

this seems to be the case even for uncontroversial matters!
insight on the scriptures volume 1, page 584 states (bold formatting added):.

A former CO who then became a substitute CO in South Carolina got disfellowshipped a little over a year ago. He had an "emotional" relationship with a married pioneer sister in his congregation.
