We also know what happens when people killed without a direct and personal command to do so. The violence inflicted in such circumstances returns on the heads of the violent.1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

Scripture before Tradition:
but that won't prevent others from
taking it upon themselves to deprive you
of the right to call yourself Christian.

Doesn't he believe Allah flooded the earth killing everyone except Noah and his family?

First, even the Quran mentions the wars of David and Saul so what is the problem?, secondly he needs to study Near Eastern War Rhetoric that use literary devices similar to the Biblical text. Third is God is the author and giver of life so does he not have the right to take it?. And finally God gave them years and years to repent Genesis 15:16-21.Last edited by ReformedApologist; 05-10-2019, 01:02 PM.

Jesus came not to judge the world but to save it.
We can also look that the aspect that Jesus had two aspects. There was Diety and there was humanity. The human aspect didn't exist until the conception and birth of Jesus.
Even the Noahic flood involved the goal of saving the world. The infected part had to be removed in order to save the world. In this case, the infected part included most of humanity.
Additionally, God has the power to give life and to take it. He is the potter and we are the clay. If you recognize Jesus as Deity, you are recognizing his authority to handle his creation according to his wisdom.
In all this, we are here to follow Jesus. We are restricted to live after the human example since we are not God. We see no examples of Jesus killing anyone.Last edited by mikewhitney; 05-10-2019, 01:04 PM.

So, it was not until Jesus' conception that the Word became flesh, which means that Jesus as a human being did not exist before He was born.
Which means this Muslim has a problem with one of God's decisions and not Jesus of Nazareth as a human being.

You are talking about the second person of the Trinity.
Jesus of Nazareth as a human being could not do what he sees the Father doing anymore than you and I could.
It is the second person of the Trinity who is eternal, not Jesus as a human being.
Jesus' mother is not eternal and therefore Jesus could not possibly have existed as a human being before His own mother.
And that is why we cannot read Jesus of Nazareth as a human being back into the New Testament.
