Yes, in the case of Sodom and Gomorrah their fate is better than people that reject Christ. The bible confirms that. Perhaps he killed them to save their souls? Don't know, I think you would have to ask God.
But the people of the flood were in Hell when Jesus went to preach to them. So I believe he may have been providing a way out for those vicious killers of Noah's time.
To be completely honest I don't hold a lot of hope for the Mormons that committed the massacre. God is not kind to people that kill needlessly or cruel people. Perhaps in a war worth fighting he might be on your side. But then people on both sides die in war, so dunno about that either. Hmmm.
Well, I found a verse of scripture that is interesting @dev553344 Ezekiel 33:11 God doesn't take any pleasure in the death of the wicked - but wants them the turn from their ways.
That is why I believe that people, may go through the lake of fire that comes from God - if they were faithless, evil, murdering, sexually immoral and the like (non-believers)- which is described in Revelation 14:10; also Revelation 22:15? and Revelation 21 somewhere.

@dev553344 what I find dishearting that while I don't agree with the politics of the world - because of the world being the world people will really, rail against one sin over another sin like...
Towards people who are gay, or have been pedophiles, or have been murderers...
God doesn't take pleasure in their deaths, but people when they angry and upset and mad - they have a desire for their deaths..
I totally believe that justice should be served here, and also served there, but as Christians even though someone has done something wrong, they should know even though they done wrong God still desires for them to turn and come to him and repent...
I totally believe if you hear of a child getting touched or a person might cause harm to someone and they mean it those types of crimes need to be told to the Law enforcement and to get help and protect... that is why God has allowed them to exist.
Thats why it is important to share God and share Christ and point to the good ways, and not lean in to the bad ways, like @Jane_Doe22 suggested.
And I dont think that God forces anyone to do anything and that is something I really find dishearting but that is just my opinion and no one has to agree with it.

There may be a way out of spirit prison, but not the lake of fire I believe. And I'm really not sure of either. God would have to answer that. But I can't image he was preaching to spirit prisoners in vain.
Did yall have Tyndale over in Uk? I heard he was burned at the stake because he disagree with the people at church or something.
Lethal force is a special type of instrument. It has guidelines to protect people. I don't believe in killing someone who is a prisoner already. Unless their killing people while in prison.
Thank you everyone whom came by to chat, and share their thoughts, Rita, Jane, and Dev.
Just checked. He died by strangulation and then was burned at the stake, in Europe. He had been classed as a heretic
