How can God kill and be righteous?

Deuteronomy 32:39Loading... 39 See now that I, even I, am he, And there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: Neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

Romans 9:20–21Loading... 20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? 21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?

Does the Artist have power over his art? Ownership means something.

Job 1:21Loading... - "The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord"

God has the right to give and take life and only God. If God gives and I take, I am stealing from God.

Is God only ever obligated to all...

“Buy the truth, and sell it not”

— Proverbs 23:23
