Because God judged many people with death in the Bible, some claim that this makes Him a murderer. Does it?
The misunderstanding with this accusation is in how one defines murder. Murder is to unjustly plan to kill someone. In other words, to kill in self-defense or in a time of war is not generally defined as murder. Murder involves killing someone who is innocent or does not deserve or is not worthy of death.
Defined this way, God is not a murderer. First, He alone is fully qualified to determine who is worthy of death and in what way and at what time. He allows people to die at all different stages of life and in a variety of ways, and only He knows perfectly the best way in which each person's life is to be lived and completed.
John 10:10 10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly.
The creator of the CNN television network, Ted Turner, describes how his early hatred toward God led him to reject Christianity. He felt resentful of the preacher for telling him that "God took them" after a family member passed away.
Not by himself, Ted Turner. As a result of their false belief that God has done anything wrong, when He has not, millions of people are furious with Him.
God is innocent!
The biggest historical deceit was when the devil tricked people into thinking that God was doing what he was doing.
But it's not true!
Naturally, the devil needed preachers to promote his lies to pull off this trick. Even if the devil himself preached it, no one would accept it.
However, just because someone claims to be a preacher, reverend, pastor, priest, bishop, prophet, or any other title, does not entail that their claims are accurate. We must turn to the Bible and study it for ourselves if we want to learn the truth.
Relying on purported "experts" could get you into trouble. For yourself, read and investigate the Bible.
JAMES 1:17 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
PRAYER: Everything good comes from my God, who doesn't turn into anything negative.
