You are assuming he does care.
Why would a God be concerned about Jimmy whacking it when he doesnt give a sh*t about millions of babies starving to death all over the world?
Why would He care when He gleefully sent the Angel of Death to slaughter innocent Egyptian babies?

OK this is going waaaaaay back to page 1 but I feel I NEED to correct Brian.
I pray for the day that a wee fundy can do this.
The babies were innocent, but their parents had every chance to save them, and they chose not to. End of story.
There is so much wrong with this unbiblical fantasy that I can only assume you haven't read the relevant Bible verses.
You are saying that their parents had every chance to save them but what about the 65 years old man whose parents are dead, how can his parents possibly have had a chance to save him when they are dead?
Also, for those parents who were alive, when and how did they have the chance to save their children? Where in the Bible can I find this information?
They chose their children's deaths by not paying heed to Moses' warning that the Angel was coming.
Eh, well the only Egyptian that was warned by Moses was the pharaoh, can you tell me where in the Bible I can find the information that Moses warned everyone (which is contrary to what is in my Bibles)?
The Egyptions had every chance to go into Goshen and save themselves and their children.
Have you been watching Disney's Prince of Egypt or something else, because this has nothing to do with the Bible? Where are you getting this stuff from?
You'd think by the last plauge they would have had enough sense to see the power of God.
But you do know that God set this whole thing up? God made it impossible for pharaoh to agree to let the Hebrews go, specifically so that God could show the Egytpians how powerful He is. This is what the Bible itself tells us, you really should go read it, it is a wonderful tale.
It annoys me that kids are indoctrinated by their parents who force the Bible as fact fantasies on them, but this is a whole different level.
You are the second person in as many weeks to come up with something that does not resemble the Bible story of tenth plague, a different version that attempts to move the guilt away from God and on to the Egytpians themselves. What I need to ask is where this claptrap is coming from? Are fundy parents now brainwashing their kids with nonbiblical versions of events that make God look good?
So, where is it you got your version of this event from?
I know you are young, and a decent chap, but I am extemely interested and concerned) in where this new version has sprung from.
Brian.

Re: *Sigh*
Of course I've read them. Have you?
Of course, how else would I know that what you are proposing is not in the Bible?
Obviously he could have went himself, a 65 year old man doesn't need his parents to make decisions for him.
Again you are assuming that EVERY Egyptian knew about the cull.
But I did ask:
Also, for those parents who were alive, when and how did they have the chance to save their children? Where in the Bible can I find this information?
So, where in the Bible can I find the information that you claim is there?
Also, you say that the children are innocent but the parents are guilty, so you are saying that God would kill this innocent 65 year old man!
Why do you worship such a barbaric entity?
1. There were lots of people who went to the palace, and this Israelite, who everyone thought were all suppose to be out slaving, is here addressing the Pharaoh. I think people would have been talking.
What YOU think is immaterial. We are talking here about the Bible version of the Exodus. Now where in the Bible do I find the information that anyone other than the Pharaoh was warned?
2. Also, It was the tenth plague, you think people would have seen the power of God destroying their country, and have enough sense to go into Goshen.
Go into the land of Goshen FROM where?
The Israelites were made slaves and used to build the cities of Rameses and Pithom. Pi-Rameses was the capital of the empire, Rameses II lived there, and guess where Pithom and Rameses are located.
However, I did ask:
can you tell me where in the Bible I can find the information that Moses warned everyone (which is contrary to what is in my Bibles)?
So I take it you cannot give biblical support.
It's common sense. And when i say "go into Goshen" i mean take refuge in the houses with blood painted on their door posts, like some Egyptians did do.
Where in the Bible does it say this? Where does the Bible say that Egyptians took refuge in Israelite houses?
Wrong. The bible says God hardened Pharaoh's heart, but that doesn't mean God forced him to not accept Moses' request.
Jar provides the BIBLE verses in his post that proves how wrong you are.
You have a lot to learn mate, but it is good to have you here.
Brian.
