That is one side of the coin....the flip side is God killing people for very little reason, gathering sticks on a Sabbath, etc, which is not a demonstration of Love.
You still don't get it. God,in His love, force them to take a day off so they didn't work all the time.
The God of Love forces people to have a day of rest....and if they don't he kills them? This is a display of Love and Tender Mercy?
True, I don't get it.
You don't get it because you don't want to. God made an example of one and that took care of that.
But there's a little thing you seem to forget. Just like I told you about the boss you didn't get the idea the Boss is not subject to the rules. Those who don't cooperate are rejects. I used to burn the rejects.
It's the nature of the 'example to others' and the underlying attitude it embodies that is the problem.
