I want to react to something Johnny Parker wrote about divine violence in another post.
I agree that God’s standards have to be much higher than ours and that He could not have ordered people to commit an atrocity.
BUT** if universalism is true**, I don’t see any reason why He could not stop our life whenever He wishes according to His purposes.
Let us suppose for example that God really killed Ananias and Saphiras in oder to show to the early Church how serious the problem of lying is.
If the couple landed in eternal hell (or were utterly destroyed after that), it would be an atrocity, completely disproportionate to the extent of the offense.
But if the pair was going to experience bliss during billions, billions and billions of years (and on and on), a shock of several minutes followed by a quick death would really not be a big deal.
Ordering a genocide is another matter altogether since it completely corrupts the moral character of the soldiers carrying it out.
