where jesus kills 2 small boys in a temper tantrum . then blinds the witnesses .

Thomas Gospel Of The Infancy Of Jesus Christ.

When this boy, Jesus, was five years old, he was playing at the ford of a rushing stream. (2) He was collecting the flowing water into ponds and made the water instantly pure. He did this with a single command. (3) He then made soft clay and shaped it into twelve sparrows. He did this on the sabbath day, and many other boys were playing with him.
(4)But when a Jew saw what Jesus was doing while playing on the sabbath day, he immediately went off and told Joseph, Jesus' father: "See here, your boy is at the ford and has taken mud and fashioned twelve birds with it, and so has violated the sabbath."
(5)So Joseph went there, and as soon as he spotted him he shouted, "Why are you doing what's not permitted on the sabbath?"
(6)But Jesus simply clapped his hands and shouted to the sparrows: "Be off, fly away, and remembe' me, you who are now alive!" And the sparrows took off and flew away noisily.
(7)The Jews watched with amazement, then left the scene to report to their leaders what they had seen Jesus doing.

3 The son of Annas the scholar, standing there with Jesus, took a willow branch and drained the water Jesus had collected. (2)Jesus, however, saw what had happened and became angry, saying to him, "Damn you, you irreverent fool! What harm did the ponds of water do to you? From this moment you, too, will dry up like a tree, and you'll never produce leaves or root or bear fruit."
(3) In an instant the boy had completely withered away. Then Jesus departed and left for the house of Joseph. (4)The parents of the boy who had withered away picked him up and were carrying him out, sad because he was so young. And they came to Joseph and accused him: "It's your fault - your boy did this."

4 Later he was going through the village again when a boy ran and bumped him on the shoulder. Jesus got angry and said to him, "You won't continue your journey." (2)And all of a sudden, he fell down and died.
(3)Some people saw what had happened and said, "Where has this boy come from? Everything he says happens instantly!"
(4)The parents of the dead boy came to Joseph and blamed him saying, "Because you have such a boy, you can't live with us in the village, or else teach him to bless and not curse. He's killing our children!"

5 So Joseph summoned his child and admonished him in private, saying, "Why are you doing all this? These people are suffering and so they hate and harass us." (2)Jesus said, "I know that these are not your words, still, I'll keep quiet for your sake. But those people must take their punishment." There and then his accusers became blind.

Kill the Entire Town if One Person Worships Another God

Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods. In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt. Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction. Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you. He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors. "The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him." (Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT)

Kill Women Who Are Not Virgins On Their Wedding Night

But if this charge is true (that she wasn't a virgin on her wedding night), and evidence of the girls virginity is not found, they shall bring the girl to the entrance of her fathers house and there her townsman shall stone her to death, because she committed a crime against Israel by her unchasteness in her father's house. Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst. (Deuteronomy 22:20-21 NAB)

Kill Followers of Other Religions.

1) If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods, whom you and your fathers have not known, gods of any other nations, near at hand or far away, from one end of the earth to the other: do not yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, but kill him. Your hand shall be the first raised to slay him; the rest of the people shall join in with you. You shall stone him to death, because he sought to lead you astray from the Lord, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery. And all Israel, hearing of this, shall fear and never do such evil as this in your midst. (Deuteronomy 13:7-12 NAB)

2) Suppose a man or woman among you, in one of your towns that the LORD your God is giving you, has done evil in the sight of the LORD your God and has violated the covenant by serving other gods or by worshiping the sun, the moon, or any of the forces of heaven, which I have strictly forbidden. When you hear about it, investigate the matter thoroughly. If it is true that this detestable thing has been done in Israel, then that man or woman must be taken to the gates of the town and stoned to death. (Deuteronomy 17:2-5 NLT)

Death for Blasphemy

One day a man who had an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father got into a fight with one of the Israelite men. During the fight, this son of an Israelite woman blasphemed the LORD's name. So the man was brought to Moses for judgment. His mother's name was Shelomith. She was the daughter of Dibri of the tribe of Dan. They put the man in custody until the LORD's will in the matter should become clear. Then the LORD said to Moses, "Take the blasphemer outside the camp, and tell all those who heard him to lay their hands on his head. Then let the entire community stone him to death. Say to the people of Israel: Those who blaspheme God will suffer the consequences of their guilt and be punished. Anyone who blasphemes the LORD's name must be stoned to death by the whole community of Israel. Any Israelite or foreigner among you who blasphemes the LORD's name will surely die. (Leviticus 24:10-16 NLT)

Kill False Prophets

1) Suppose there are prophets among you, or those who have dreams about the future, and they promise you signs or miracles, and the predicted signs or miracles take place. If the prophets then say, 'Come, let us worship the gods of foreign nations,' do not listen to them. The LORD your God is testing you to see if you love him with all your heart and soul. Serve only the LORD your God and fear him alone. Obey his commands, listen to his voice, and cling to him. The false prophets or dreamers who try to lead you astray must be put to death, for they encourage rebellion against the LORD your God, who brought you out of slavery in the land of Egypt. Since they try to keep you from following the LORD your God, you must execute them to remove the evil from among you. (Deuteronomy 13:1-5 NLT)

2) But any prophet who claims to give a message from another god or who falsely claims to speak for me must die.' You may wonder, 'How will we know whether the prophecy is from the LORD or not?' If the prophet predicts something in the LORD's name and it does not happen, the LORD did not give the message. That prophet has spoken on his own and need not be feared. (Deuteronomy 18:20-22 NLT)

Infidels and Gays Should Die

So God let them go ahead and do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other's bodies. Instead of believing what they knew was the truth about God, they deliberately chose to believe lies. So they worshiped the things God made but not the Creator himself, who is to be praised forever. Amen. That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. And the men, instead of having normal sexual relationships with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men and, as a result, suffered within themselves the penalty they so richly deserved. When they refused to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their evil minds and let them do things that should never be done. Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, fighting, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip. They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They are forever inventing new ways of sinning and are disobedient to their parents. They refuse to understand, break their promises, and are heartless and unforgiving. They are fully aware of God's death penalty for those who do these things, yet they go right ahead and do them anyway. And, worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too. (Romans 1:24-32 NLT)

Kill Anyone who Approaches the Tabernacle

In response to this way of thinking several observations seem appropriate. First, by definition, YOU do not believe in the existence of God. When you argue that the God of the Bible is cruel, you are not conceding that God exists. Rather, you are arguing that the God of the Bible, being cruel, does not deserve being considered worthy of existence or of being designated as deity. You also imply that belief in such a God is unworthy of their sense of moral and ethical values.

Second, you cite biblical examples of God’s destruction without recognizing why God destroys. You focus attention only upon calamities. you do not concede that those calamities may be God’s punishments upon people because of their sins. Although God prepared the Garden of Eden for Adam and Eve, he forced them out of it and declared death on them because they disobeyed him by eating of the forbidden fruit (Genesis 2:16-17; 3:16-24). God destroyed the world’s population in the days of Noah because "every intent of the thoughts of his (i.e., mankind’s) heart was only evil continually" (Genesis 6:5). The cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because their sin was "very grave." Not even ten righteous persons could be found within the city (Genesis 18:20-32; Jude 1:7). The Egyptians were destroyed because they had afflicted God’s people, the Israelites (Numbers 20:15; Deuteronomy 26:6; 1 Samuel 10:18). God destroyed the Amorites in Canaan because their iniquity became complete, i.e., full (Genesis 15:16; Leviticus 18:25; 1 Kings 21:26). God allowed the Israelites to be enslaved and captured during the time of the judges and during the times of their kings because they turned away from him and served other gods (Judges 2: 14; 6:1-10; 1 Kings 9:3-7; 11:4-11; 2 Kings 17:7-23). Moreover, God condemns some to eternal punishment because of their iniquities (Matthew 7:21-23) and for failure to obey the gospel (2 Thessalonians 2:6-9).

Third, to charge God with cruelty is to judge God. To do so means that the created stand in judgment against the creator (see Romans 9:20-21). Such a judgment is itself ungodly because God, not man, sets the standard for value judgments. God, not man, is the judge of the world. Moreover, without God, there is no universal absolute standard to which everyone can appeal. Without a uniform standard by which values can be measured, concepts of right and wrong may vary as much as people. Without God, people determine values either collectively or individually. Without God, value determinations vary from time to time and from place to place. Therefore, without God, what some consider cruel, others may consider appropriate, and vice-versa. Likewise, what theists consider right because they base their evaluations on God and His word, you may consider wrong, even cruel, because you do not believe in God or His word.

Fourth, while you may think God’s punishments for sins are too harsh, your evaluations of the horror of sin may be too low. God defines sin as lawlessness (1 John 3:4), i.e., sin is a violation of God’s laws. God alone establishes moral foundations. God alone is free from sin and therefore God alone is the proper judge to determine appropriate penalties for sin. God alone fully knows the horror of sin. Since God declares that evil must be punished, then the extent of future punishment (i.e., eternal hell fire) only demonstrates the unspeakable heinousness of sin. While human beings may not desire to inflict punishments as severe as God does, human desires – based upon limited understandings of morals and the horrors of sin – reflect only differences in preferences regarding moral governance. Preferential differences do not constitute a sufficient foundation for claiming that God is cruel.

Fifth, the Bible does not portray God as cruel. The biblical image of God is that he is good (Psalm 25:8; Nahum 1:7; Matthew 19:17), merciful (Numbers 14:18-19; Deuteronomy 4:31; Isaiah 55:7; Nehemiah 9:31; Psalm 86:15; 103:8; Luke 6:36; Ephesians 2:4), and just (Deuteronomy 10:17; 32:4; Isaiah 45:21; Jeremiah 32:19; Psalm 98:9).
That God is good means that He supplies temporal needs (Acts 14:17), that good and perfect gifts come from Him (James 1:17), that His goodness leads to repentance (Romans 2:4), and that because his goodness cannot tolerate evil, sins must be punished (Deuteronomy 31:18; Ezra 9:13; Psalm 5:4; Jeremiah 23:2). The goodness of God is amply declared in scripture (Psalm 52:1; Romans 2:4; Psalm 143:10; Matthew 19:17).
That God is merciful means that He is forgiving (Psalm 86:5; 1 John 1:9), pardons iniquity (Micah 7:18), and saves us (John 3:16-17; Acts 13:23; 1 Corinthians 1:21; 1 Thessalonians 5:9; Titus 3:5). God wants people to repent (Luke 15:11-32; 2 Peter 3:9). God had rather people do right and enjoy his blessings, rather than do wrong and receive his curses (Deuteronomy 7:9-15; 28; Exodus 15:26; Ezekiel 33:11; Amos 5:14; Jonah 3:8). God’s mercy may be recognized because, of His own initiative, he initiated sacrifices to atone for sins (Exodus 29:36; Leviticus 1:4; 4:20; 16:10; 23:27; 1 Chronicles 6:49; John 3:16-17; Romans 5:5-11; Hebrews 7:27; 9:12; 10:10).
That God is just means that He judges in righteousness. Because God created the heavens and the earth, God instituted the laws of nature. He also gave laws for humanity through Adam, (Genesis 2:16-17), through Noah (Genesis 9:1-17), through Moses (Exodus 24:12; Numbers 21:31; Deuteronomy 4:44), and through Christ (Galatians 6:2). Since none could be justified by law (Romans 3:10, 23), God gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in him might be justified (Romans 1:16-17; 5:1, 9; Galatians 2:16). By his justice God renders verdicts either to acquit from guilt or to pronounce condemnation (Matthew 25:31-46). God proportions penalties to fit sins committed (Deuteronomy 25:2-3; Mark 12:40; Luke 12:42-48). Generally speaking, death is a punishment for sin (Genesis 2:17, 22-24; Romans 5:12). God often punishes people for their specific sins (Genesis 4:10-14; Joshua 5:6; 1 Samuel 15:26-29; 28:16-19; 2 Kings 18:11-12) Eternal punishment awaits those who do not obey God (Romans 2:5-10; 2 Thessalonians 1:6-9).

There are approximately 5% of the population who are theists. Some Christians are theists since they accepted God's Control Agreement following their creation.

@Parepidemos You will understand later that the information I have provided is correct and I live in reality. The marked spirits who worship Jesus Christ will suffer greater in Hell since he is not God and God made this situation perfectly clear to each marked spirit prior to their participation in The Worlds Plan and these spirits understood he is The Beast/False Prophet. The marked spirits are open to sinning at their own insistence since they declined God's Control Agreement following their creation and these spirits sinned to an evil status.

Revelation 19:20
King James Version (KJV)
20And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

Revelation 20:10-15
New International Version (NIV)
10 And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Psalm 9:17
King James Version (KJV)
17The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

The marked spirits(wicked) are atheists spirits who are marked with their personal choice of a cross or the number 666 on their forehead and right hand at the time they reached an evil status. God marked each of these spirits personally. Only marked spirits enter Hell.
