Losing my oldest daughter to suicide/murder, and then my oldest son to drug overdose Fentynal, within two months apart, it's hard to find understanding, but it's only made this Dad to look into the mirror, and take inventory of myself, and the walk I have with my Lord Jesus. Not that I could ever fill the shoe's of JOB, but it it helps me know God's Will, Way, and Purpose can NEVER be second guessed. Who am I to do that with my God, and Creator.
Man, no worse loss than of a child. Worse, children. I am beyond words sorry for you! I got to hug my babies when I see them again ( son and girlfriend).
It is absolutely wrong to kill innocent people.... the only problem, there's only been one innocent person and He laid His life down and no one took it from Him.
There are a few things we Christians can't answer, and this is one of them. In our human flesh and emotions, it is wrong to kill innocent children or kill people to occupy their ancestral land. But, only the manufacturer can explain why he stopped a product. Also, we can't use predestination to define this because I've seen some Christians using it. They said, maybe God know those children will be adversaries in the future. He gave us the power to make choices, so he does not know. That's why He does not know people who will make heaven. We will all be making choices as we go in life, and these choices He gave the power to make will either land us in Hell or Heaven.
@getrit3007 I think Corey did some recording on predestination. If he knew, he wouldn't ordered us to Go to the world and preach the Gospel to rescue people from eternal damnation. You have the Will to either accept Him or reject Him. Predestination is like when you are drawing an algorithm chart. God knows what will happen with every choice you make. But, the choosing power lies in you.
@seuna.8438 I was saying God enacted judgment on them because they were not innocent, there is no one innocent but Christ. Also God knows the days of your life and your only on ear by His hand. Scripture is clear on that.
@seuna.8438 that's not what predestination means. God uses the ends and the means. God uses the preaching of His word to save the lost, but it is only effectual by Him doing a work in them. Otherwise, the cross smells like death to them
@getrit3007 About innocence, if all of us are not innocent as babies, the reason God decided to kill some and leave some is what we can't explain. Only God can. About God knows the end from the beginning. Yes, he does. He knows where each of your decisions will land you. But, that Free Will to decide is in your hands. For example, if someone decides to stay in front of a moving train today, that's not God's design for him to die today. To guide our decision-making is the reason we read the word of God, gather in places like this, and mix with people of like minds.

Isaiah 57:1 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come
Pain on earth is temporary. A question is what if I could save you from a worse pain with a pain that is not that intense? Isaiah 55:7-11 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. 10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." For if I read James 1:5 (KJV), do not leave out James 1:6,7, and 8 (KJV), and while we at it live by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Testament means covenant or agreement. Only parts of the Old apply we know what which by adhering to the new. Psalms 139:18 (KJV) “If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.” Daniel 3:17 "17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king." Daniel 3:23-27 "23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. 24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. 25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. 26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire. 27 And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them. Romans 10:17 "17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
And even consider it a privilege of pure joy. The indescribable joy of the Lord. To join in just a little bit of the suffering for the cause of Christ Jesus. To enter into Jesus rest.
God is sovereign. I had a full term stillbirth in 2011 and I was not mad at God but drew nearer to Him because I knew He had a reason and a plan. I don’t need to understand it to trust it. ❤ Also people hold onto the flesh so much they forget eternity and where you go after death is the most important thing.
I see so many of my fellow Christian’s struggling with these sides to God and trying to somehow get God off the hook. I do think this is partly to do with actually how the church broadly portrays God as only loving and caring, and he just wants to give everybody a big hug …. Buddy Jesus! But that’s just simply not true. When we consider who God is I think the thing we struggle with the most is that God is a holy God. And I think it’s this very immutable characteristic of God’s nature, that we just will never understand this side of eternity. You will see it on Mount Sinai, when the Lord says to Moses, warn the people not to come near the mountain, “lest the Lord breaks out against them” When Ananias lies to the Holy Spirit, and he struck down dead. Or ironically, when we look to God, sacrificing his only begotten son on the cross. We don’t need to look any further… God is a holy God, and he is righteous, and his ways are not our ways.
Why is it so difficult to understand that we are God’s creation and He can do whatever He wants. God alone is the one who determines morality, not us. So it’s absolutely foolish to try to somehow hold God to a standard outside of Himself.
God is good. It's not just a characteristic but It's is who he is. Therefore everything he does is good whether we agree or not.. He's the maker of all things..
The most important thing we have to accept is God doesn't make sense. Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. It doesn't say all things make sense, its says they work together. So God can do something crazy and we don't understand but later on we realize it makes sense. We try to figure out God and want him to be simple to figure out. We get frustrated when we don't understand and it doesn't make sense.
God created EVERYTHING THAT IS SEEN AS WELL AS IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD!.We as mortal man have no right to even attempt to judge God,PERIOD. Sure we have questions but we did not give ourselves life,health or Strength. We have free will, and choices. I would not want to put myself in a position to JUDGE GOD!! PERIOD!! That is a Dangerous Place to be for Mortal Man or Anyone Else!!😮😮😮😮😮😮‼️‼️👀👀👀👀👀
WELL SAY FROM THE HEART BY HOLY SPIRIT WORKING WITHIN YOU, I THANK GOD FOR YOU , YOU VERY CLEAR ON THE MATTER I WILL KEEP YOU IN MY HEART PRAYER THANK FOR VIDEO I WILL SHARE WITH OTHERS.
Just want to say thank you for a refreshing perspective on God's Word, His Truth. I'm enjoying the dialogue and feel as thiough I am learning a few new things. It's certainly uncommon to hear truth without fluff. I remember this subject with a friend years ago whereby I stated no one is "innocent" and most disagree when it involves babies and children. God is always right. Whether we like it or not. Thanks for the knowlege and/or confirmation on things I struggled with in some regards...particularly PJ.
Its hard for us to understand but aint nobody innocent all have sinned and are born under the curse of sin but for babies God is not evil hes just and wrathful he doesnt send a baby who does not know what they do to Hell and God does everything with a purpose according to his will we are subject to God hes not subject to us
Amen teach my brother teach that's why you will hear me say there is no love in war. I do believe that God's reason for saying leave none alive is because God knows that one day they will take revenge.
The way I see it, God doesn't kill innocent people. First off, only one innocent person ever lived and that was Christ himself. Second, he ALLOWS things to happen in this world. Look at Job, he was a righteous man, but God allowed Satan to take away EVERYTHING the man had. Sometimes, what seems to be evil could be a blessing in disguise. Some of these innocent people who were killed I bet are in heaven right now having a better time than they ever did here. It's all about context and biblical truth.
Would you mind sharing the name of the Bible study app that you’re using? It’s the one that you often display on the screen during your videos. Thanks.
We have to go through some things in life before we are ready to be of value to the cause of Christ and not you. When you don’t have what you want. Ask God what do I need to learn to have your rest in it.
Wow. Rarely have I heard anything so bereft of knowledge of my Father or his Word. Whether or not he knows you, I cannot say, but you don't know him - Theology has blinded you to knowing his character and his heart. All that you said is nothing more than speaking what the carnal mind can conceive of a true. It's utterly disgusting that this would be spoken as the will of the One who said he saw everyone who would be his before the foundation of the world... And called every one of them holy and blameless in his sight.
Doctrine Matter’s Bible Version Matter’s. But you won’t know that till you know Jesus Christ personally. Once you know Him you can read from any of them. I don’t mind if the NIV has scriptures missing from it. Because I know which ones are missing from the KJV. The NLT has wording differently that you won’t understand it like someone who reads the ESV which is a direct translation from the Greek. I know the differences in each Bible. And I know why each Doctrine uses the different Bibles. If you don’t know the Bible you don’t know Jesus Christ! The word became flesh! Jesus is the word. You can only be fooled if you don’t know Him.
Think of the Lord having the right to put people to death and we cannot like a parent who goes to bed at midnight but cold has to be in bed by 9. The Lord decides what is best even when we do not understand, like our parents made rules we did not understand. He knows what none of us do, and our parents are to know what is best for us. The difference is the Lord is perfect and is a true Know-It-All, unlike the rest of us.
I tend to think Matt 19:14 lets us know children go to heaven. I cannot recall ever reading or hearing about any verse that holds children to the heaven/hell standard or law. Lastly, I believe Matt 18:1-6, although used with doubled meaning toward adults, even suggests that Jesus holds adults more accountable for the actions of children concerning His Kingdom moreso than the child...🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@danielbelteshazzar-mg7rb The road AND gate to life is NARROW. I pray you repent and turn toward the True Gospel! Even Jesus went into hell ("the prison") post death before His resurrection as stated in I Peter 3:18-21 which also reiterates how there are relatively few who get saved. Let those with ears to hear, hear...🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
God never kills innocent people,free will does, and many assume to know the mystery of God and try and explain what they truly don't understand, how can any individual possibly comprehend God based on this reality and as a result its absolute nonsense, unless it comes directly from the holy spirit, the way the truth and the life amen
God does not kill people, we are his creation in the flesh, not just of the spirit. God also sent his only begotten son for humanity's sin, the sin on which we inherit when we are born. God creates man, God gives man laws to live by in the flesh, man decides to disobey these laws, God takes back what is his, the people cry and moan because God is killing them... Stop adding to scripture, many will hear these words depart from me you who practices lawlessness, for I never knew you, do not be one of those to hear those words! Examine yourselves and make sure you are in the faith look up and lift up your heads cause your redemption draws near.
God does not kill innocent people. No one is innocent. Those babies and kids were going to reject Christ if God was to salvage their life. Perhaps it’s all Grace had they would have been older then they would have been very wicked but since their babies they can be saved. Would you rather God take your family member saved or live making the wrong choice being burned in hell forever?
These babies that you're speaking of or adults that died. They die because of the sin of the parent for eg. Blood sacrifice, worshipping false god, etc. Adults because they sin themselves. The bible said the wages of sin is death. So God don't just kill people. Anytime people die, most of the time, their father, the devil, killed them because they gave him full access to their lives. You don't know the spiritual reason behind a person's death. You just look at their age or how beautiful they are, and now they died, God why but you don't know the sin behind it. That is why GOD is GOD. He knows, hears, and sees all things. You can only see what's in front of you. Let my GOD be. I died, went to heaven, and GOD sent me back to earth after I begged him to. I didn't understand then but I do now
Because God doesn't.. it's either the devil or man. God put things in motion. Like the earth spins on an axis and God put powerful forces on it to do just that, the earth and everything in it was set in motion. Man makes choices to kill NOT GOD. Yes, the devil can kill you and if you don't have God you go to hell. How do you get judged? You are never going to change and God's wrath comes. But God is life and wants life.
Because, according to Psalm 51, Romans 3 and 6, every human is born in sin. We aren’t wicked just because of what we do; we are wicked because of who we are.
Does God say it's wrong to kill innocent people?? The answer to that is the answer to your question. He says it's wrong to lie, and He states that "He cannot lie". That sets the basis that God cannot just arbitrarily break His own rules. I would suggest......that all the people that were killed that people are calling "innocent" weren't. Same reason I don't buy determinism. Scripture says "greed and lust come not from the Father"..... determinism states "they can come from no other place". So I guess it just comes down to "do you believe scripture or a man-made philosophy". Your philosophy has to be wrong, because the Bible doesn't contradict. If it seems like it does, then your philosophy/dogma/interpretation is wrong NOT scripture. Free will MUST be True, OR......it makes God a tyrant/evil.
No. Caleb was number with them but in Numbers 32:12 (and other passages ) state except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua the son of Nun, afor they have followed the LORD fully. He was an Kenizzite by birth. That may have to do with his name being Caleb. Not sure if that was his birth name or not, but the name literally means "dog".
You know the really cool part of this. God had chosen Israel and the Physical descendants of Israel to be His people, but it also shows that ANYONE who would have faith and follow Him, could be His people. There was no real difference in how God treated Caleb. In fact, we see how Caleb found favor and even honor by his faith in God. I think this calls for a video.
@smartchristians Do you believe the Bible is Gods perfect preserved word? If so, how can two Bibles that say different things be the same? These new versions leave out whole verses. Change wording, and weaken the scripture many times. Two things that are different, cannot be the same. Ive seen enough to lead me away from these new versions. Really surprised that you havent looked into this.
You incorrectly assume I haven't looked into this. I, however, know you haven't. 1. Is the Bible God's "PERFECT PRESERVED" Word? as you asked. Well is John 1John 5:7-8, John 7:53-8:11, Revelation 22:19 perfectly preserved? The obvious answer is no. Which of the 6 manuscripts used for the KJV was perfect? Not even the translators of the KJV thought so and wished for more manuscripts as well as earlier manuscripts. I wish those who believe the KJV is perfect and the ONLY word of God actually knew how our bibles came to exist and what people actually did BEFORE the KJV. Do you know what people read prior to the KJV? Were they without the word of God?
@smartchristians I disagree. I believe God preserved his perfect word in the English language in the KJV. Im not knocking you brother, just surprised honestly. Thanks for your time, God bless.
@@smartchristians To Corey of the Smart Christian Channel and those who are looking at this RUclips stream on Speaking does God kill? There are a few missed conceptions that Corey has espouse that are in error. First of all God does not kill anybody. The curse of Sin is the mean vehicle of death to all that live on the earth. From Man to animals to insects etc.… Death is an enemy of God, because God is life. Scriptures expressly tell us this. Because Death is the result of sin. This a universal spiritual law that is in effect until death is cast into the Lake of Fire. Roman 5:14-19 > Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. But not as the offense, so also is the free gift. For if through the offense of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offenses unto justification. For if by one man's offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Therefore as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. A person’s action dictates whether he or she lives or dies, because all mankind lives under the curse of sin. If you understand the spiritual laws that are in play that govern the universe. Than you will understand that the result of sin causes what we label the innocents to suffer death because of our lack of understanding of spiritual laws. Wars, famine, pestilences, accidents, sickness, Natural Disasters and any deaths cause by murder, suicide and accidents of all types. Are a direct result of the curse of sin that is on mankind. God does not kill anybody per say. He allows death to take them out because of the law of sin. And at times people or nations offend God and death is the end result of that offense. So that bring us to the point of Amalekites and their ordered destruction by God, what Corey hermeneutics and exegesis understand can’t tell the purpose of their destruction order by God. It was and offense to God to hinder or harass God people what He was set in motion of them going to process the land that God had promised them. There are two things that are going here with both are spiritual in nature one was God remembering the Amalekites offense to Him and the other was a spiritual test for Saul to see if was going to obey the commandment of God and carryout God’s plan. To close this out because I can say much more. The Amalekites were a heathen nation who did not know God or care to know Him. What they did to Israel when passing through the land after leaving Egypt is what we see play out in this country and world stage plain old protectionism in ancient form. Nothing more nothing less.
Don't you think its dangerous to your salvation bearing false witness against God. You are certainly leaning unto your own understanding. Are you seriously blaspheming against God? How dare you!!! You are accusing God of killing innocents. Where though? God gave us free will and the devil is the killer of us all. Y'all never blame satan for the evil he carries out by deceiving so many.. God's ways are not man's ways.
Please pay attention. There are no innocent lives. Secondly God is the ONLY one who gives life and takes life. 1 Samuel 2:6, Deuteronomy 32:39, 2 Kings 5:7.
Ain't this satantikkk to do to a infant said by biblical gods ◄ Hosea 13:16 ► Audio Crossref Comm Hebrew Verse (Click for Chapter) New International Version The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open.”
Which of us have ever been innocent? I haven't watched the video but the way you word your titles makes me question your intent if it's God he would never approve your spirit to word your titles in a questioning way towards him it's like saying ima bring a million people to God with clickbait views does not indicate the fruit you produce.
On so many levels this is all wrong. I won't address all of it as it will take too much time, but I will address the one issue that I think stands out from the rest. God took a babies life because it would be more merciful than to leave it? I've heard that one before years ago and at one time i bought it hook line and sinker when I didn't know better. How ridiculous to say such nonsense, as it's actually a bias action by God. If it's more merciful to take it than to leave it, then by that statement God does NOT show the same mercy to everyone else who he doesn't take as a child, yet the bible states God for one is not bias and shows the same mercy to all. The statement you made insinuates God is bias, and favors certain people by taking them early yet leaving everyone else to live in a wicked world they may not necessarily wanna be in, or a world that targets them to live a hideous life. God takes someone early because it's more merciful?... NONSENSE BS... that's a made up brainwashing LIE and not the facts. Facts are, it's life and God had zero to do with it.
You are wrong brother. God only gives life. He NEVER takes life. Satan does. God is never light and darkness, yes and no, good and evil. He alone is Life, Light, Good and YES/Amen!
Losing my oldest daughter to suicide/murder, and then my oldest son to drug overdose Fentynal, within two months apart, it's hard to find understanding, but it's only made this Dad to look into the mirror, and take inventory of myself, and the walk I have with my Lord Jesus.

Used to struggle with this until i learned about the Sovereignity of God.
There is none good, no not one
Thank you for tackling this subset Corey
Blessings
Why is it so difficult to understand that we are God’s creation and He can do whatever He wants. God alone is the one who determines morality, not us. So it’s absolutely foolish to try to somehow hold God to a standard outside of Himself.
Our God give and take life at his will and
that's what makes him God. There's but One God
who dictates others are told or helped.
I know it's messed up, but me dying as a child or baby would've helped me avoid so many things. Though now I would like to live a long life.
God is good. It's not just a characteristic but It's is who he is. Therefore everything he does is good whether we agree or not.. He's the maker of all things..
The most important thing we have to accept is God doesn't make sense. Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. It doesn't say all things make sense, its says they work together. So God can do something crazy and we don't understand but later on we realize it makes sense. We try to figure out God and want him to be simple to figure out. We get frustrated when we don't understand and it doesn't make sense.
God created EVERYTHING THAT IS SEEN AS WELL AS IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD!.We as mortal man have no right to even attempt to judge God,PERIOD. Sure we have questions but we did not give ourselves life,health or Strength. We have free will, and choices. I would not want to put myself in a position to JUDGE GOD!! PERIOD!! That is a Dangerous Place to be for Mortal Man or Anyone Else!!😮😮😮😮😮😮‼️‼️👀👀👀👀👀
WELL SAY FROM THE HEART BY HOLY SPIRIT WORKING WITHIN YOU, I THANK GOD FOR YOU , YOU VERY CLEAR ON THE MATTER I WILL KEEP YOU IN MY HEART PRAYER THANK FOR VIDEO I WILL SHARE WITH OTHERS.
Will anyone please please please pray for me for healing inside of my brain and all body systems?
I will.
Amen brother Corey
Just want to say thank you for a refreshing perspective on God's Word, His Truth. I'm enjoying the dialogue and feel as thiough I am learning a few new things. It's certainly uncommon to hear truth without fluff. I remember this subject with a friend years ago whereby I stated no one is "innocent" and most disagree when it involves babies and children. God is always right. Whether we like it or not. Thanks for the knowlege and/or confirmation on things I struggled with in some regards...particularly PJ.
All souls belong to God. We are not our own.
Its hard for us to understand but aint nobody innocent all have sinned and are born under the curse of sin but for babies God is not evil hes just and wrathful he doesnt send a baby who does not know what they do to Hell and God does everything with a purpose according to his will we are subject to God hes not subject to us
Amen teach my brother teach that's why you will hear me say there is no love in war. I do believe that God's reason for saying leave none alive is because God knows that one day they will take revenge.
God said I kill and I make alive ......blessed be the name of the Lord .....that's the Boss talking .
Keep in mind God is the potter we are the clay!
Greetings Brother Corey 👋 🙏
AMEN. AMEN. AMEN...
Also in the New Testament with Ananias and Sapphira in Acts
The way I see it, God doesn't kill innocent people. First off, only one innocent person ever lived and that was Christ himself. Second, he ALLOWS things to happen in this world. Look at Job, he was a righteous man, but God allowed Satan to take away EVERYTHING the man had. Sometimes, what seems to be evil could be a blessing in disguise. Some of these innocent people who were killed I bet are in heaven right now having a better time than they ever did here. It's all about context and biblical truth.
Amen
John 15:1-I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
Matthew 13:38-The field is the world...
I tell you the truth, that was a great explanation and it was awesome to hear!

This was a tough lesson
Hebrews 4. Enter into Jesus rest.
Unless you repent you will all likewise Parish😮. If that doesn't make you have respect for God what will 😢.
Would you mind sharing the name of the Bible study app that you’re using? It’s the one that you often display on the screen during your videos. Thanks.
How do we think God values every soul,death is not a loss to God,its just a sleep until God gives us His promised gifts of eternal life and more
We have to go through some things in life before we are ready to be of value to the cause of Christ and not you. When you don’t have what you want. Ask God what do I need to learn to have your rest in it.
God cannot make mistakes and do wrong. All of His ways are perfect and just.
God knew if He let the Canaanite children live, they would grow up and seek revenge, and could thwart the coming Messiah.
Ain’t nobody innocent.
Wow. Rarely have I heard anything so bereft of knowledge of my Father or his Word. Whether or not he knows you, I cannot say, but you don't know him - Theology has blinded you to knowing his character and his heart. All that you said is nothing more than speaking what the carnal mind can conceive of a true. It's utterly disgusting that this would be spoken as the will of the One who said he saw everyone who would be his before the foundation of the world...
And called every one of them holy and blameless in his sight.
God is sovereign he can do whatever he wants.....remember the devil came to steal ,kill , and destroy too.
The KJV version of the Bible isn't the only Bible we can trust or study from. There are many trusted Bibles. God Bless you 🙏
Doctrine Matter’s
Bible Version Matter’s. But you won’t know that till you know Jesus Christ personally. Once you know Him you can read from any of them. I don’t mind if the NIV has scriptures missing from it. Because I know which ones are missing from the KJV. The NLT has wording differently that you won’t understand it like someone who reads the ESV which is a direct translation from the Greek. I know the differences in each Bible. And I know why each Doctrine uses the different Bibles. If you don’t know the Bible you don’t know Jesus Christ! The word became flesh! Jesus is the word. You can only be fooled if you don’t know Him.
@@rosemarietolentino3218Well said and that is the truth.
Amen.
God doesn't change his plans for Lucifer.
CHILDREN CAN'T BE GUILTY BUT THEN THE CURSE WAS SET ON ALL NOT JUST THE GUILTY😮😢
Think of the Lord having the right to put people to death and we cannot like a parent who goes to bed at midnight but cold has to be in bed by 9. The Lord decides what is best even when we do not understand, like our parents made rules we did not understand. He knows what none of us do, and our parents are to know what is best for us. The difference is the Lord is perfect and is a true Know-It-All, unlike the rest of us.
Romans:3 :11-15 ! Corey, answer this question? Who on this planet is innocent!!!
Amen🕊️
Are you a Calvinist?
No, I'm not. ruclips.net/user/livee4Y4IKgKKCI
I tend to think Matt 19:14 lets us know children go to heaven. I cannot recall ever reading or hearing about any verse that holds children to the heaven/hell standard or law. Lastly, I believe Matt 18:1-6, although used with doubled meaning toward adults, even suggests that Jesus holds adults more accountable for the actions of children concerning His Kingdom moreso than the child...🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@danielbelteshazzar-mg7rb The road AND gate to life is NARROW. I pray you repent and turn toward the True Gospel! Even Jesus went into hell ("the prison") post death before His resurrection as stated in I Peter 3:18-21 which also reiterates how there are relatively few who get saved. Let those with ears to hear, hear...🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Good points.
God never kills innocent people,free will does, and many assume to know the mystery of God and try and explain what they truly don't understand, how can any individual possibly comprehend God based on this reality and as a result its absolute nonsense, unless it comes directly from the holy spirit, the way the truth and the life amen
Amen
Because Eve ate the forbidden fruit and gave to Adam.... It was sin that they learned.
Isaiah 55:8
Evil is crawling all over earth
what happened to the last personS who questioned God😆😆😆😇
God does not kill people, we are his creation in the flesh, not just of the spirit. God also sent his only begotten son for humanity's sin, the sin on which we inherit when we are born.
God creates man, God gives man laws to live by in the flesh, man decides to disobey these laws, God takes back what is his, the people cry and moan because God is killing them...
Stop adding to scripture, many will hear these words depart from me you who practices lawlessness, for I never knew you, do not be one of those to hear those words!
Examine yourselves and make sure you are in the faith look up and lift up your heads cause your redemption draws near.
God is the ONLY one who gives life and takes life. 1 Samuel 2:6, Deuteronomy 32:39, 2 Kings 5:7.
God is in charge and takes all life!? There's a time to be born and a time to die! 😌
God does not kill innocent people. No one is innocent. Those babies and kids were going to reject Christ if God was to salvage their life. Perhaps it’s all Grace had they would have been older then they would have been very wicked but since their babies they can be saved. Would you rather God take your family member saved or live making the wrong choice being burned in hell forever?
These babies that you're speaking of or adults that died. They die because of the sin of the parent for eg. Blood sacrifice, worshipping false god, etc. Adults because they sin themselves. The bible said the wages of sin is death. So God don't just kill people. Anytime people die, most of the time, their father, the devil, killed them because they gave him full access to their lives. You don't know the spiritual reason behind a person's death. You just look at their age or how beautiful they are, and now they died, God why but you don't know the sin behind it. That is why GOD is GOD. He knows, hears, and sees all things. You can only see what's in front of you. Let my GOD be. I died, went to heaven, and GOD sent me back to earth after I begged him to. I didn't understand then but I do now
Innocent according to who?
God don’t kill people, people do🤷🏽♀️
God is the ONLY one who gives life and takes life. 1 Samuel 2:6, Deuteronomy 32:39, 2 Kings 5:7.
Ok
Because God doesn't.. it's either the devil or man. God put things in motion. Like the earth spins on an axis and God put powerful forces on it to do just that, the earth and everything in it was set in motion. Man makes choices to kill NOT GOD. Yes, the devil can kill you and if you don't have God you go to hell. How do you get judged? You are never going to change and God's wrath comes. But God is life and wants life.
How can a newborn be wicked?
Because, according to Psalm 51, Romans 3 and 6, every human is born in sin. We aren’t wicked just because of what we do; we are wicked because of who we are.
@@elciscoplummer3255 No one is born wicked
@@joehewitt189Hitler wasn't born wicked? 🤔
@@matthewalston1226 No, he chose to be wicked. Just like the christians who murdered millions.
Does God say it's wrong to kill innocent people??
The answer to that is the answer to your question.
He says it's wrong to lie, and He states that "He cannot lie".
That sets the basis that God cannot just arbitrarily break His own rules.
I would suggest......that all the people that were killed that people are calling "innocent" weren't.
Same reason I don't buy determinism. Scripture says "greed and lust come not from the Father"..... determinism states "they can come from no other place".
So I guess it just comes down to "do you believe scripture or a man-made philosophy".
Your philosophy has to be wrong, because the Bible doesn't contradict.
If it seems like it does, then your philosophy/dogma/interpretation is wrong NOT scripture.
Free will MUST be True, OR......it makes God a tyrant/evil.
Caleb was from the tribe of Judah..
No. Caleb was number with them but in Numbers 32:12 (and other passages ) state except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua the son of Nun, afor they have followed the LORD fully. He was an Kenizzite by birth. That may have to do with his name being Caleb. Not sure if that was his birth name or not, but the name literally means "dog".
You're right .. He was a descendant of the Edomites, Great job smart christian!! That's why I follow your channel thanks
You know the really cool part of this. God had chosen Israel and the Physical descendants of Israel to be His people, but it also shows that ANYONE who would have faith and follow Him, could be His people. There was no real difference in how God treated Caleb. In fact, we see how Caleb found favor and even honor by his faith in God. I think this calls for a video.
He was IN the tribe of Judah, so was Rahman and Ruth. None of these people were ethnic (born) Jews.
Who did GOD kill ?
Man kills with his depraved heart
Hebrews 9:27 says there is a time
He never says oops

Did God kill anyone? No! Sin is the cause of ALL death.
Amen

@@smartchristians You are of course talking about the second death because everyone dies the first death, the first death is the result of sin.
There is an age of accountability, check out what pròphet told his wife. 1 Kings 14:13
As much as i agree with you on all your doctrines, it honestly surprises me that you dip outside of the KJV.
What is wrong with that?
@smartchristians Do you believe the Bible is Gods perfect preserved word? If so, how can two Bibles that say different things be the same? These new versions leave out whole verses. Change wording, and weaken the scripture many times. Two things that are different, cannot be the same. Ive seen enough to lead me away from these new versions. Really surprised that you havent looked into this.
You incorrectly assume I haven't looked into this. I, however, know you haven't. 1. Is the Bible God's "PERFECT PRESERVED" Word? as you asked. Well is John 1John 5:7-8, John 7:53-8:11, Revelation 22:19 perfectly preserved? The obvious answer is no. Which of the 6 manuscripts used for the KJV was perfect? Not even the translators of the KJV thought so and wished for more manuscripts as well as earlier manuscripts. I wish those who believe the KJV is perfect and the ONLY word of God actually knew how our bibles came to exist and what people actually did BEFORE the KJV. Do you know what people read prior to the KJV? Were they without the word of God?
@smartchristians I disagree. I believe God preserved his perfect word in the English language in the KJV. Im not knocking you brother, just surprised honestly. Thanks for your time, God bless.
@@smartchristians To Corey of the Smart Christian Channel and those who are looking at this RUclips stream on Speaking does God kill?
There are a few missed conceptions that Corey has espouse that are in error. First of all God does not kill anybody. The curse of Sin is the mean vehicle of death to all that live on the earth. From Man to animals to insects etc.… Death is an enemy of God, because God is life. Scriptures expressly tell us this. Because Death is the result of sin. This a universal spiritual law that is in effect until death is cast into the Lake of Fire. Roman 5:14-19 > Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. But not as the offense, so also is the free gift. For if through the offense of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offenses unto justification. For if by one man's offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Therefore as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
A person’s action dictates whether he or she lives or dies, because all mankind lives under the curse of sin. If you understand the spiritual laws that are in play that govern the universe. Than you will understand that the result of sin causes what we label the innocents to suffer death because of our lack of understanding of spiritual laws. Wars, famine, pestilences, accidents, sickness, Natural Disasters and any deaths cause by murder, suicide and accidents of all types. Are a direct result of the curse of sin that is on mankind. God does not kill anybody per say. He allows death to take them out because of the law of sin. And at times people or nations offend God and death is the end result of that offense.
So that bring us to the point of Amalekites and their ordered destruction by God, what Corey hermeneutics and exegesis understand can’t tell the purpose of their destruction order by God. It was and offense to God to hinder or harass God people what He was set in motion of them going to process the land that God had promised them. There are two things that are going here with both are spiritual in nature one was God remembering the Amalekites offense to Him and the other was a spiritual test for Saul to see if was going to obey the commandment of God and carryout God’s plan. To close this out because I can say much more. The Amalekites were a heathen nation who did not know God or care to know Him. What they did to Israel when passing through the land after leaving Egypt is what we see play out in this country and world stage plain old protectionism in ancient form. Nothing more nothing less.
Don't you think its dangerous to your salvation bearing false witness against God. You are certainly leaning unto your own understanding. Are you seriously blaspheming against God? How dare you!!! You are accusing God of killing innocents. Where though? God gave us free will and the devil is the killer of us all. Y'all never blame satan for the evil he carries out by deceiving so many.. God's ways are not man's ways.
The devil is the killer of us all????!!!! Huh
What?
Please pay attention. There are no innocent lives. Secondly God is the ONLY one who gives life and takes life. 1 Samuel 2:6, Deuteronomy 32:39, 2 Kings 5:7.

Which of us have ever been innocent? I haven't watched the video but the way you word your titles makes me question your intent if it's God he would never approve your spirit to word your titles in a questioning way towards him it's like saying ima bring a million people to God with clickbait views does not indicate the fruit you produce.
On so many levels this is all wrong. I won't address all of it as it will take too much time, but I will address the one issue that I think stands out from the rest. God took a babies life because it would be more merciful than to leave it? I've heard that one before years ago and at one time i bought it hook line and sinker when I didn't know better. How ridiculous to say such nonsense, as it's actually a bias action by God. If it's more merciful to take it than to leave it, then by that statement God does NOT show the same mercy to everyone else who he doesn't take as a child, yet the bible states God for one is not bias and shows the same mercy to all. The statement you made insinuates God is bias, and favors certain people by taking them early yet leaving everyone else to live in a wicked world they may not necessarily wanna be in, or a world that targets them to live a hideous life. God takes someone early because it's more merciful?... NONSENSE BS... that's a made up brainwashing LIE and not the facts. Facts are, it's life and God had zero to do with it.
Are you saying that God does not control everything within the universe?
Yeah it’s wrong, no matter if your God does it or not.
By who’s standard do you determine right and wrong?
You are wrong brother. God only gives life. He NEVER takes life. Satan does. God is never light and darkness, yes and no, good and evil. He alone is Life, Light, Good and YES/Amen!
God is the ONLY one who gives life and takes life. 1 Samuel 2:6, Deuteronomy 32:39, 2 Kings 5:7.
