God Will Not Demand Death to Innocent People in the Bible
This is the biblical answer to the third question posted on this video.
Question No. 3: Why does God demand the death of so many innocent people
in the Bible?
Nowhere in the Bible can you find a verse where God demands the death of innocent people. Maybe, the one asking such question is not innocent but ignorant of the Bible. There is a great difference between innocent and ignorant, and these people that malign God cannot say that they are innocent because they intentionally mislead people by their questions.
These people cited a verse in Exodus 35:2, which says:
Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you a
holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall
be put to death.
Before we go to the biblical aspect (and this is for my readers, and not for these people), let us first delve on something which is the only language these people know. They do not question authorities in their land when their government impose death penalty against lawbreakers. I have not found any argument in their website, questioning the imposition of death penalty, which is being carried out in most countries of the world; so we can safely conclude that they are not against death penalty when it is imposed by anybody other than God. In the spirit of justice and fairness, they must question anyone that imposes death penalty. But their target is God who — unlike sinful human beings — has the power and authority to impose it because He is the Creator of life.
ACTS 17:28
For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
The poets of ancient Athens and Greece were smarter than these people because they believe that there is a reason for our existence; and that there must also be a reason for the imposition of death.
ROMANS 6:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
The verse implies that death was imposed because of sin; and a just God will not punish innocent people. Sin is transgression of the law.
1 JOHN 3:4
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Keeping the Sabbath is the fourth law of the Ten Commandments. This is a holy day between the Lord and His people, Israel. The beneficiary of this law is the people themselves. No human being after 400 years of labor — like what happened to them in Egypt — in his proper sense will reject a day of rest. It is for your benefit to take a rest, and this is scientific.
The benefits of taking a rest are huge. A day or two off each week is essential
to allow muscles, tendons and ligaments the time to repair themselves.
Additionally, for those attempting to increase muscle mass, the old saying that
growth occurs during down time, not during workouts, holds true.

Anyone who refuses to rest, especially so if it is a transgression to a very important commandment intended for his own benefit, is completely abnormal and out of his mind. That person deserves to die, and is not innocent!
DEUTERONOMY 21:18-21
18 If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:
19 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; 20 And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.
21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
18 If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:
19 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; 20 And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.
21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
These were the verses cited by these detractors of the Lord, who claim that God demands the death of innocent teenagers! Not only do they mislead people but also propagate their invented lies through their website. These imaginary people are blatant liars and deceivers!
Nowhere in the above-cited verses can you find that these are innocent teenagers! What we read is that they are stubborn, rebellious, gluttons, and drunkards. Being rebellious to God and their parents, they are not innocent, and they deserve to die after rejecting their chance for renewal by not listening to the voices of their father and mother. To say that these [sons] are innocent teenagers clearly shows the kind of people who sympathize with them, who even blame the just God of Christians. Perhaps, they are even rearing their children in such manner that they will someday be stubborn, rebellious, gluttons, and drunkards.
1 TIMOTHY 5:8
But if any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
But if any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
Another blatant lie they propagate is their comment on Leviticus 20:13, saying that God demanded the death of homosexuals. THE VERSE DOES NOT MENTION INNOCENT HOMOSEXUALS! The verse tells us, and I quote:
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have
committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall
be upon them.
Note that the subject is a man that lieth [have sexual intercourse] with a woman, and afterwards, lieth also with a man. Homosexuals do not lie with women! These are men who, because of exceeding lust after lying with a woman, have pleasure also in men. This was clarified by the Apostle Paul in Romans 1:27.
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in
their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly,
and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.
Innocent homosexuals are given by God the chance to inherit the kingdom of God.
1 CORINTHIANS 6:9-11
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Note that some members of the first century Christian church in Corinth are effeminate or homosexuals, but they were washed, sanctified, and justified! Maybe these imaginary people who say that God is imaginary hate God; and they want also to convince homosexuals to hate God!
Another verse they used to make a mockery of God’s justice is in Deuteronomy 22:13-21, which states:
13 If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,
14 And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:
14 And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:
15 Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth
the tokens of the damsel’s virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate:
16 And the damsel’s father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;
17 And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.
18 And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;
19 And they shall amerce him in a hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.
20 But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:
21 Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father’s house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.
16 And the damsel’s father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;
17 And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.
18 And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;
19 And they shall amerce him in a hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.
20 But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:
21 Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father’s house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.
Note that death in the preceding verses was imposed not because the damsel or lady is not virgin. It was imposed because she has done folly by fooling her father, mother, the supposed to be groom, and the elders of Israel, and by mocking God’s commandment that protects the right and dignity of a starting family. The lady commanded by God to be stoned to death was NOT innocent.
Therefore, it is not true that God demands the death of so many innocent people, as these imaginary people claim. God is a God of justice, fairness, equity, and good morals, who these immoral and imaginary people hate.
I know after reading this article that these imaginary people will again invent defamatory things against me and my God; but I believe and I pray that my readers will be enlightened by this glaring light from God’s word.
Praise be unto HIM! Amen.

ReplyDeleteStunning!!!!!
ReplyDelete"Nowhere in the Bible can you find a verse where God demands the death of innocent people. Maybe, the one asking such question is not innocent but ignorant of the Bible" #GodIsJust.
ReplyDeleteThe imagination is a very intellectual conduit of the devil to confuse people and blind them of the reality that there is a God...As a doctor who is among those educated Christians as mentioned by this guy about imagination focused on God can readily recognize this lazy guy who only talks using the social media and not give a damn to investigate the truth. He does not even know what a Christian means like my friend who said "I am a Christian because I am a Catholic".
ReplyDeleteWe live in a world of imagination and if properly used we can be scientists who can invent something good for mankind, a God given imagination otherwise we keep inventing things causing harm to ourselves and to other people.
ReplyDeleteThanks be unto God for this wonderful blog.
ReplyDeleteI will share this good news to my relatives and friends.
To God be all the glory!
exactly...
ReplyDeleteSalamat pu king Dios:)
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, the one who asked the questions in the video is either ignorant of the bible or an atheist. To God be the glory!
ReplyDeleteI pray that these people who acuses God may be enlightend with this blog. Thanks be to God
ReplyDeleteImagination is a reason for us to survive the odds of life but even people without imagination can also survive the odds of life meaning the truth that there is God who created us must not be taken for granted for us to survive the odds of life because of a very good reason we cannot fathom which is not imagination. May I advise this guy with such crazy imagination to read a verse in the bible Isaiah 55:8-8.Thanks God, we have a good bible reader, Bro. Eli.
ReplyDeleteIt sounded ridiculous and whimsical indeed to me listening to a senseless video. The video creator may have selected a controversial topic perhaps with the intention of capturing an audience just for the sake of making profit from YouTube.
ReplyDeleteI would like to say that this blog of Bro. Eli Soriano is not an invention of excuses in GOD's behalf in order to prove the strange facts of life. It's the wisdom from HIM and not the intelligence of any individual that can truly explain and understand the very purpose of mankind's existence on earth, whatever it takes.
A million thanks to GOD for a preacher who thinks, speaks and acts rationally!
#GodIsJust
Amen

ReplyDeleteIf others do not believe in OUR GOD nor OUR FAITHFUL SERVANT of MCGI, please do not say(in your heart) anything bad against THEM, because we are witnessing that whoever did such defamations, something bad happens to them, and yet the doctrine to us is *[[Pro 24:17]] KJV* Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
ReplyDeleteHOW PURE YOUR HEART IS!!! 😮 May the Lord God Almighty "more" whatever your heart desires. Thank YOU and GLORY to YOU O GOD!!!
I would rather listen to the uneducated but full of wisdom from the Holy Spirit of God, rather than an Engineer, Scientist, Doctor, Nurse, Teacher, etc…
ReplyDeleteFor it is written:
The LORD of Armies planned this in order to dishonor all arrogant people and to humiliate all the honored people of the world.(Isaiah 23:9)

God Will Not Demand Death To Innocent People!! A very Sensible Topic To The Sensible Preacher Himself!! People Must Really Search The Bible To Understand The Mind,Heart, and His Will For All The People Who Want To Obey His Will!!
ReplyDeleteAtheists are the saddest lot in the world. That goes to agnostics as well.
ReplyDelete#GodIsJust The senseless youtube video is alarming and manipulating those educated people they've been mentioning as christians. They are encouraging the so called professionals to think logically so as to defame God and misled from the Truth. Thank God that we have Bro.Eli who is always on standby to discover these kind of anti-God videos which we know this is Satan's way to destroy our relationship with God.
ReplyDeleteAMEN! SALAMAT SA DIOS!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was little, I regard people who cry while watching movies or read books, as overly-sensitive and embarrassing. But when I grew up, not just once that I was tearful when listening to Brother Eli's preaching or reading his blogs.
ReplyDeleteJust like this one here.
I believe in God and I believe that He will not impose death to innocent people. God according to the Bible and my experience in life, is Good, merciful, and fair ( He is God of Justice )
But I will admit that I did not have this kind of logic and explanation in me, about the verses that the atheists use against God, mentioned in this blog.
How beautifully explained the logic and justice of God in these verses!
The Damsel, the men who have sex with whoever he wants, those who refuse to follow the commandments which they are supposed to benefit from, they are not innocent people. They were punished by the God of justice because they merited such sanctions because of their wickedness.
The Logic, the reality, and the kindness of our God. I am in awe.
Thanks be to God, that I was able to learn these things. Brother Eli, you are truly the messenger of God in these days, We never had any doubts.
For doing your God-given task to enlighten the people, Imagine, the very verses they use against God, are the same verses you used to prove God's mercy and justice, Truly, Your God is the God of the bible. To Him be the Glory!
Brother Eli, We love you po! We miss you! The Filipinos want to see you here in our country, but God has plans to use you for other world nations' salvation. May God help us always, so we can say, "tutulungan po namin kayo makatakbo".
God wants all men will be saved so that death is His wisdom and righteousness to mankind.
ReplyDeleteNo matter how hard those bad people will try to again invent defamatory things against Mr. Controversy and our Great God, I still believe that the truth will remain that our God is Just and this blog is an enlightening blog. Thanks be to God. Thanks be to God Mr. Controversy
ReplyDeleteSalamat ng marami sa Dios!
ReplyDeleteMaybe the person asking about "innocent people" being killed: in times of war, catastrophe, calamities, epidemics, earthquakes, struck by lightning & others.
ReplyDeleteIt is not really death when we expire in this life on earth but just to sleep till all are called during judgement day...
ReplyDeleteInnocent people in he eyes of man is not what it is in the eyes of God for God is a God of Justice and righteousness..
ReplyDeleteLet me not blame God for the death of innocent people because I believe in His unfathomable wisdom and be in subjection to His will and because He wants me to be saved.
ReplyDeleteWe see innocent people dying from time to time but the wisdom of God we can never comprehend more so, if it is for the good of the innocent and of the non-innocent...
ReplyDeleteGod wants us all to know the truth and not remain innocent...hehehe
ReplyDeleteDeath is inevitable and dying of the innocent or anybody is God's wisdom...do not be sad...you will die also...
ReplyDeleteEven to the innocent, they die and they are covered under the law...the law of true justice...
ReplyDeleteMy younger brother died. He is so good to me but he died...Listening to Bro Eli, He did not die in vain.
ReplyDeleteThanks be to God for this enlighten blogs from Mr. ControversyX
ReplyDeleteThanks be to God
ReplyDeleteTo God be the Glory
Amazing blog by MrControversyextraordinary
God is a loving and just God and will not demand death of innocent lives. Those people mentioned in the Bible who were killed were transgressors and deserved to be punished.
ReplyDeleteAll goodness and holiness is taught in the Bible, may their darkened mind be enlightened by His mercy. Thanks be to God!
