I love how Skye brought up the point that when someone asks how could a good God allow suffering and kill so many in judgement, he responds by asking why they even would think there should be justice in the first place. I will use the question in the future.

I didn't really think the matter of God's wrath was dealt with here. I don't think most of us are fretting as much about (say) the Egyptian army being drowned in Exodus as much as the death of the firstborn. (The Flood story may be taken symbolically, but if not seen symbolically, for some people I would think it does bring up not just all the nasty adults doing terrible things, but the children or even the animals. People doing terrible things to each other, yes, but also to their victims.) I don't think the concern many of us have is as much on whether or not God's being just or not (if you take as a given that we all deserve death, I suppose it just speeds it up when he kills, or commands to be killed, various Old Testament folks), but whether God is treating His children (in many cases, literal children) with the love we see in Christ. (I personally think that some of this is stuff we won't fully understand until we see Him face to face--until then, we need to trust that He is more loving than some of those passages might seem to suggest, and try to understand everything through the lens of Jesus, and if that leaves some difficult mysteries, just keep hanging on until our own time comes.)
