If God is just, how do we interpret the destruction of innocent children in events like the flood or the conquest of Canaan?

How do we reconcile the image of a loving and a just God with instances in the scriptures where He commands acts of violence and destruction?

Does God's sovereignty over life and death make Him a "killer," or is there a deeper meaning to death in the context of His divine plan?

What role does free will play in the consequences of disobedience, particularly when entire nations or groups face divine judgment?

How does the concept of God's omnipotence and sovereignty impact the way we interpret human suffering and death in the world today?

Col 1:16-17
