Peace and God's blessings be upon you
The book of Exodus tells us that God's tenth plague on the Egyptians was killing all the firstborns of Egypt. God told Moses that He would hover over the houses of Egypt and kill the Egyptian firstborns. He ordered the Israelites to stain their houses with blood so that God would know that those houses pertain to them, and hence he wouldn't strike down their firstborns. The book of Exodus (12:12-13) (The New International Version) says:-
Now the question is, couldn't God the All-knowing differentiate between the Egyptians and the Israelites in terms of their firstborns??. Of course not, as God is the Omniscient whose knowledge is of no limits. So why would God descend from the heaven, fly over Egypt and and use blood as a sign to distinguish the Israelite houses from the Egyptian ones???. God might have sent the angel of death to do so, or he might have killed the firstborns of Egypt in a glance through His indomitable might .
Now we have two answers to that question. Unequivocally, one of the following two answers must be right, we cannot find any other interpretations for these verses:-
1- The LORD is the All-knowing God who cannot differentiate between the houses of the Egyptians and the Israelite..Such an Oxymoron that contradicts with all the Abrahamic religions!!!
2- Those verses surely do not belong to the Bible God had revealed to His prophets, which confirms the occurrence of distortion (even if it is on relatively a small scale). The proof on that hypothesis is that those verses contradict with both the Holy Bible and the Holy Quran. God is the inward and the outward who knows everything in the whole universe. How would he order the Israelite to do such a ''bizarre'' thing??
I don't mean to offend anybody at all through my threads But I need the answer please from any Christian here

The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt."
