people say only Good comes from God. This is most contridicting. God has killed many people. He has sent plauges. And has created wars. I know God is good, but he does so these things and for good purpose.
God sent flood waters to wipe out the planet. God in the old testament told some dude to go around some city for a few days and blow your horns. Made the city walls fall so they could easily defeat the city. God will also deliever several plauges during the revelation. Some one please help me understand how only good comes from God yet these things also do?
This makes no sense at all. You are claiming that all good comes from GOD is contradicting yet Jesus Himself says that good only comes from GOD. How do you figure this is contradicting? You even said that He did [kill] for good purposes, so what is that then? Let's look at this carefully for a moment.
Mark 10:18
So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.
The simplest and shortest answer I can come up with is that we pay the price for our sins. You agree we all deserve death correct? Therefore, the One who says this has every right to choose to be graceful towards us or not. Yet, He does through Jesus Christ, through warnings, through nearly endless second chances called forgiveness. These "killed" events your referring to has a reason for each one why GOD had so and so nations fall per se.
I think it would better if you first posted actual Scripture events your referring to so we can study each one individually and more accurately.
I did a quick search on Bible Gateway and decided to use this as an example. A lot of times what GOD does is simply "hand them over to their own sins". In other words, He simply let's go of His grace because the people continually refused GOD, objected Him, neglected Him and basically opposed to all that was "good", which is then nothing but evil.
Jeremiah 15:1-5The LORD Will Not Relent
1 Then the LORD said to me, “
Even if Moses and Samuel stood before Me, My mind
would not
be favorable toward this people. Cast
them out of My sight, and let them go forth. 2 And it shall be, if they say to you, ‘Where should we go?’ then you shall tell them, ‘Thus says the LORD:
“ Such as
are for death, to death;
And such as
are for the sword, to the sword;
And such as
are for the famine, to the famine;
And such as
are for the captivity, to the captivity.”’
3 “And I will appoint over them four forms
of destruction,” says the LORD: “the sword to slay, the dogs to drag, the birds of the heavens and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy. 4 I will hand them over to trouble, to all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for what he did in Jerusalem.
5 “ For who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem?
Or who will bemoan you?
Or who will turn aside to ask how you are doing?
6 You have forsaken Me,” says the LORD,
“ You have gone backward.
Therefore I will stretch out My hand against you and destroy you;
I am weary of relenting!
7 And I will winnow them with a winnowing fan in the gates of the land;
I will bereave
them of children;
I will destroy My people,
Since they do not return from their ways.
8 Their widows will be increased to Me more than the sand of the seas;
I will bring against them,
Against the mother of the young men,
A plunderer at noonday;
I will cause anguish and terror to fall on them suddenly.
9 “ She languishes who has borne seven;
She has breathed her last;
Her sun has gone down
While
it was yet day;
She has been ashamed and confounded.
And the remnant of them I will deliver to the sword
Before their enemies,” says the LORD.
