Death Toll

[ChevyRodeo]

Who has killed more people in the Bible. God or Satan? consider the 1st born of all Egypt died when God sent the death angel. Consider Sodom and Gomorra.God drowns everyone on earth except Noah and his family. Lot's wife. Onan.


Numbers 11:11 And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.

15:32-36)
"They found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day ... and the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones."


What happened to Slow to anger...


16:35 And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.

16:49 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.

Ephesians 2: But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,............


Why does God no take the life of people in the 21st century? Let alone strike them blind or mute?

(tongue in cheek) Why would He need to if man is so ready to do it himself?

....These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

God hasn't changed...He hates wickedness. He's also long-suffering, patient and not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. I think satan has killed more people because he is into the destruction of a person's soul that they may not obtain eternal life. God takes those who have either repented already or, with His foreknowledge, He knows they will never repent. That's the only way I know to explain it.
