Exodus 12:29 It happened at midnight – the Lord attacked all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the prison, and all the firstborn of the cattle.
Exodus 12:30 Pharaoh got up in the night, along with all his servants and all Egypt, and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was no house in which there was not someone dead.

Ha,
your not gonna see this are you?

Job 15:34 For the congregation of hypocrites [shall be] desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
Isa 33:14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

Mat 22:18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, [ye] hypocrites?

Mat 23:13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in [yourselves], neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

Mat 23:14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.

Mat 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

Mat 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier [matters] of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

Mat 23:25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.

Mat 23:27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead [men's] bones, and of all uncleanness.

Mat 23:29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,

Mat 24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint [him] his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Mar 7:6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with [their] lips, but their heart is far from me.

Luk 11:44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over [them] are not aware [of them].

Luk 12:56 [Ye] hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?

So the Pharaoh made God angry, and God killed every firstborn child in Egypt...

Do you know what people would call me if my hairdresser made me angry, and if I then went and strangled her baby?

They'd (rightfully) call me an absolute psycho. I probably wouldn't even end up in jail; I'd probably end up in an insane asylum.

What did the firstborn children do to deserve being killed by God?

Ok, my first post here.

I haven't read this entire thread......it's really long but did I just read someone ask if God can sin??? That's a joke right?

As far as killing babies......I'm definitely pro-life. When God killed innocent babies it was because of disobedience. It wasn't meant to start a debate about God murdering innocent newborns.

This entire world is enveloped in sin and so are we. From the incurable disease to the deformed child to the fetus' that abort themselves. We don't know what God is doing. We don't know what strings are being pulled and if they even are. Perhaps God is letting things run their course at different times. Welcome to a world of sin where all kinds of bad things happen.

WE ARE ALL BORN SINFUL FROM BIRTH- WHEN GOD KILLED ALL OF THE EGYPTIAN BABIES HE WAS EMPHAZSIZING THAT NO ONE CAN STOP HIM OR INFLUENCE HIS COMMANDS- GOD TOLD PHAROH TO LET HIS PEOPLE GO BUT HE DIDN'T SO GOD DISCIPLINED HIM WITH 10 PLAGUES THE LAST OF WHICH BEING THE KILLING OF THE FIRSTBORNS....(NOT ONLY THE BABIES!!!!) IT WAS BECAUSE OF DISOBEDIENCE THAT THE FIRSTBORNS DIED - PHARAOH CHOSE HIS CONSEQUENCES- HE COULD HAVE LET THE ISRAELITES GO AT ANY TIME....
