Fact is- the reason for Gods destruction is Gods purpose and will. We tend to forget Gods will is perfect and not only that he foreknows our actions and motives. So perphaps he was SAVING those children from being raised in a sinful environment which therefore would have condemned them to eternity in hell. God is always good and just. Now this is just a humans perspective im sure Gods is complete as is his will.

In terms of God's having commanded the deaths of various peoples, those are looked upon as man's carrying out God's judgments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
