4. Why does God punish so many people?
Answers
Answer:
Man and woman both eat the forbidden fruit, and neither die. The serpent was right. Thus, God banishes Adam and Eve from the garden as punishment for defying his command, and places angels bearing flaming swords at Eden's gates to ensure that neither man nor woman could ever return.

In Leviticus Chapter 24, verses 17 through 21 quote the Lord instructing Moses in words that uphold the death penalty and include the phrase, "If anyone injures his neighbor, whatever he has done must be done to him: fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth."
