Why did a all-knowing God request for a sign to differentiate the Israelites and the Egyptians?

Exodus Chp 12: 12, 13 & 23.


12. On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn of both people and animals, and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD.

13. The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.

23. When the LORD goes through the land to strike down the Egyptians, he will see the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over that doorway, and he will not permit the destroyer to enter your houses and strike you down.

According to research, the all-knowing God couldn't know the doorposts of the Israelites hence needed a blood mark on the doorposts..

That was an instruction from God and any instruction God gives ought to be adhered to

GreatResearcher, Mr Bond, you should by now and from your numeous "researches" have known that death does not discriminate, that when the grim reaper angel of death visits, when it comes, it does not ask who you are, doesnt want to know if you are an Israelite or an Egyptian, and if you want to remain alive then you'll be doing yourself a favour by paying attention to and take notice of the warning, to put blood on your doorframe, so to have death pass over your house and not make a visit, just as Makito015 put it, about instruction(s) from God and any instruction(s) God gives ought to be adhered to

That means u don't even read ur bible. Bcus if u do, u will see that in verse 13 ur god says when he 'god' passes by and the end says when he 'god' strikes.

He never said when death strikes. Or should we say ur god is death?

And again, since death doesnt discriminates, but at least should since it was sent by a god. A all-knowing god who knows the doorways of everybody should've sent death straight to the doorways of Egyptians without needing a sign..

watchout for the bolded in the verses below and tell me if it was god himself who does the killing or he sent something else.

12. On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn of both people and animals, and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the
LORD.


13. The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive
plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.


23. When the LORD goes through the land to strike down the Egyptians, he will see the
blood on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over that doorway, and he will
not permit the destroyer to enter your houses and strike you down.

Makito015:

Yes it was an instruction given to man by God to mark the doorways of the Israelites bcus he 'god' can't differentiate between the doorways of the Israelites and the Egyptians hence needed a mark to differntiate therefore gave the instruction.

Maybe ur bible would have made sense if it was written this way

12. On that same night I 'god' will send death to pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn of both people and animals, and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD.


13. Since death I will send cannot differentiate or discriminate, put up a blood and the blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when death see the
blood, it will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.


23. When the death sent by god goes through the land to
strike down the Egyptians, it will see the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over that doorway, and he will
not permit the destroyer to enter your houses and strike you down.

It could have been written that way, but it would have been unnecessary, as every one except you, is aware death does not discriminate, that when the destroyer or grim reaper angel of death visits, as in when it turns up, it does not ask who you are, doesnt want to know if you are an Israelite or an Egyptian, and so, in this case for anyone who wants to be safe and wants to remain alive, then it was wise to pay attention to and take notice of the warning, to put blood on the door frame, so to have death sentence pass over their house and not execute judgement there because the destroyer will not allowed to come in to the houses to strike.

GreatResearcher, Mr Bond, is giving in and yielding to being a tool and right now, has increasingly become a tool that doesn't even know its being used. He hasnt got better things to do with his time other than all this, so idle hands becomes the devil's tools and workshop

what about verses 12 and 13? Still a destroyer? Ok let's say it's a destroyer that kills. Why did an all-knowing god needs a sign in order to send his destroyer?

[/qutoe]so in essence, there's sometin death is afraid of and that is blood.. Smh.

Goodmorning. I am not trying to prove anytin. We are carryin out a research on 'why an all-knowing being needed a mark to differentiate people'.

How many times do you want it be told you, that it isnt about a sign, but it is about obedience, the will to survive and an appetite for life or to stay alive

Hypothetically speaking, if you were among them at that time, I am quite sure about the unrisky and right choice you'll make

Morning .

Well count me out of your research . When it comes to God? Its better to be patient and ask God yourself if you see him at the after life .
So my dear , I have no comment on that issue. Ask God all your burning questions , after you've left this earth . I'm not the creator of God , the all knowing being .

Have a lovely day.

It's obvious you are not interested in FACTS and you're not the first atheist throwing questions into the air,yet when they find touching answers they'll just vanish!
Well God is not the one that will kill all the FIRST BORN in the land of Egypt but an executioner {an ANGEL}!
So for the people to show their obedience and loyalty to the God of Israel,each family head must protect his house by painting their doorposts with the BLOOD OF THE LAMB. So that the angel won't even enter such a house needless searching for their firstborn!
I remembered my grandma in the early 90s before her death,she always say "if you go contrary to so and so rule,Buhari will catch you" so i keep telling her that Buhari has been removed from power but she's addicted to the name because she heard it when Buhari ousted the last civilian government.
But what i want to borrow from her words is that "Buhari will catch you" of course it's not Buhari that will catch anyone PERSONALLY,rather it's the law enforcement agencies under the commands of Buhari that will do so!
So my friend,Jehovah doesn't want any other name to be glorified throughout that ancient world{Exodus 14:4} by all those signs not even the name or personality of an angel that is coming to do the execution, but HIS own name! 2 Kings 19:35

The reason is only that God does not do anything arbitrarily. He gave every human being a free will to choose whether or not to submit to Him and obey Him with attendant rewards and consequences for either choice.

So, of course, He would command the Israelites to make a choice about their deliverance. If they obeyed Him, they would live. If they disobeyed Him like the arrogant Egyptians who had been disobeying Him like He could do nothing to them, then they would be punished along with them as well.

So, no, it was not that God did not know where He was going. It was only another test of the Hebrews to decide who they wanted to serve in that issue.

Your Argument doesn't still mean anything. You'll not go anywhere with this argument.

12. Put the blood on your doorways as a sign of obedience to me and when the angel passes, he will pass over you.

So Christianity needs to be defended{protected}!
Intelligent people usually go for burglaries on their windows,doors,gates,security guards with wild dogs and even big gates with another security post and group of guards, all these are put together just to protect their lives and properties.
But why is it that ATHEISM needs no defender{protection}?
Certainly there is NOTHING worth defending {protecting}in your faculty, spiritually as in psychologically ATHEISM is just like a Empty store! Matthew 12:43-45

Ever since the enlightenment, religions have been fighting a losing battle against science.
God has moved more and more to
the gaps of human understanding. There was a time when if humanity didn’t know the answer to one of life’s questions, then God was that answer. That time apparently is still the present but fortunately, science is learning more and more answers.

Interestingly enough, God seems to be the answer to less and less questions. Evolution has explained human origin and the Big Bang explains the origin of the
universe. So what role did God play? As we learn more about evolution and the universe, God’s role will no doubt get even
more marginalized. The fact is that there really is no role for a deity to play at all. We can just factor out the deity and come up
with the same scientific answers.

Does being a theist means losing sense of reasong?

The reason whay a god requested for blood to be painted on doorways is clearly stated in the verses but I don't know why it seems hard for you to comprehend.

Now read the below verses carefully. Cofus more on the bolded there you'll see the reason he demanded for blood.

13. The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive
plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.

23. When the LORD goes through the land to strike down the Egyptians, he will see the
blood on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over that doorway, and he will
not permit the destroyer to enter your houses and strike you down.
