God did not take the lives of the Egyptian firstborn unjustly and no one can argue that He didn't give them plenty of warning.

Didn't He also harden Pharoah's heart to prevent him from listening, specifically so that He would have the opportunity to demonstrate His power?
It sounds like He intended to do it from the start. Just sayin'.
He gave them warning?
If he did, the plans were on display in Alpha-Centauri, becuase, last I checked, vast amounts of frogs does not a warning make.
"And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said."
"But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go."
"But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go."
"And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go out of his land."
And there you have it, folks. Biblical free-will in action (except God made sure he'd have more opportunities to inflict more tortures).
Now, what was that argument about justice and warning?
Know what? Ra says no, it never happened. No Egyptian records mention a Moses or the events of Exodus. There's actual Grainary accounts and worker rations from that culture.
“God did not take the lives of the Egyptian firstborn unjustly”
I’d say he did.
Confused?
