Yes i know that..
what I'm asking is, why can God "get away" with it?
☝t<><
GOD IS ALL KNOWING, and you are not.
GOD is perfectly HOLY, and you are not.
GOD is perfectly JUST, and you are not.
GOD, is the Creator, and you are not.
GOD, can see the motives of the heart, and you cannot.
GOD is Sovereign, and you are not.
The problem is you want to be like GOD, and NEVER WILL BE.
That what why Eve fell for Satan's lie, because she wanted to be like GOD.
People who ask that question, most likely do not have GOD in their hearts, nor His Holy Spirit.
God's examples of those HE caused to be killed were to show is what ALL OF US DESERVE for one sin.
The question remains, WHY HAS NOT GOD KILLED BOTH YOU AND ME?
Psalm 53:3 (HCSB)
[SUP]
3 [/SUP] All have turned away; all alike have become corrupt. There is no one who does good, not even one.
Jeremiah 4:22 (HCSB)
[SUP]
22 [/SUP] “For My people are fools; they do not know Me. They are foolish children, without understanding. They are skilled in doing what is evil, but they do not know how to do what is good.”
Romans 3:11-12 (ASV)
[SUP]
11 [/SUP] There is none that understandeth, There is none that seeketh after God;
[SUP]
12 [/SUP] They have all turned aside, they are together become unprofitable; There is none that doeth good, no, not, so much as one:
Isaiah 53:6 (HCSB)
[SUP]
6 [/SUP] We all went astray like sheep; we all have turned to our own way; and the LORD has punished Him for the iniquity of us all.
Genesis 6:5-8 (HCSB)
[SUP]
5 [/SUP] When the LORD saw that man’s wickedness was widespread on the earth and that every scheme his mind thought of was nothing but evil all the time,
[SUP]
6 [/SUP] the LORD regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.
[SUP]
7 [/SUP] Then the LORD said, “I will wipe off from the face of the earth mankind, whom I created, together with the animals, creatures that crawl, and birds of the sky—for I regret that I made them.”
[SUP]
8 [/SUP] Noah, however, found favor in the sight of the LORD.

Isaiah 46:9-10 (HCSB)
[SUP]
9 [/SUP] Remember what happened long ago, for I am God, and there is no other; ⌊I am⌋ God, and no one is like Me.
[SUP]
10 [/SUP] I declare the end from the beginning, and from long ago what is not yet done, saying: My plan will take place, and I will do all My will.
To question GOD's plan, is the same as saying, "I am smarter than you GOD, and I have a better plan."
Luke 10:25-28 (HCSB)
[SUP]
25 [/SUP] Just then an expert in the law stood up to test Him, saying, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
[SUP]
26 [/SUP]
“What is written in the law?” He asked him.
“How do you read it?”
[SUP]
27 [/SUP] He answered: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.
[SUP]
28 [/SUP]
“You’ve answered correctly,” He told him.
“Do this and you will live.”
MY TURN TO ASK A QUESTION.
How is questioning GOD's Authority and Sovereignty, the same as LOVING GOD?
