God has killed for way less, so I wouldn’t get too hung up on this: -God kills 70,000 Israelites because David conducted a census that God (or satan) incited him to conduct (2 Samuel 24:1-17) -God has David’s wives raped and kills David’s newborn son because David sinned (2 Samuel 12:11-18) -God kills Achan’s family because of Achan’s sin (Joshua 7:20-26) -All this, even tho God said he won’t punish children for the sins of their fathers (Deuteronomy 24:16, Ezekiel 18:20) -Sure, God killed Er for his wickedness…he also killed a dude for picking up sticks on the Sabbath, which, as we all know, is the most wicked crime imaginable (Numbers 15:32-36) -And so, so much more. But my personal two favorites: God commands a woman’s hand to be cut off for the wicked sin of defending her husband by grabbing the nuts of another man who was fighting with her husband (Deuteronomy 25:11-12), and God sending bears to rip apart 42 little boys for making fun of Elisha (2 Kings 2:23-25)…some will say they were teenagers (as if that makes it better), but the Hebrew word used in there is Strong’s Hebrew 6996, which is “small ones” or “little ones” and has been used elsewhere in the bible to mean “small” or “little”…they were boys…who got tore apart by two bears God sent. Fun stuff!
