There is a theory that a deliberate parallel exists between Lucifer being God's favorite angel who became so arrogant and rebellious that God punished him, and the "synagogue of satan" ie the "jews" being God's favored / chosen people yet also so deceitful and arrogant that history keeps punishing them. It is hard for most to wrap their minds around but it really seems that God's favorites tend to be the worst, but it seems to have a lot to do with God's primary focus of redeeming other beings, ie those most in need of a redemption process get God's spotlight.
To whom much is given, much will be expected. How we treat the least among us is indicative of our internal character. We are saved by faith and faith is made evident through our actions.
I even think there's more to it. One passage about them making clay bricks is almost humorous. Pharaoh made them pick their own reeds or whatever for making the bricks as punishment, and man did they whine.
In the same ballpark in the Bible is when Moses and Aaron keep nagging Pharaoh about the intense need for them to go out into the desert with their people for three days to make sacrifices. They said that if they weren't allowed, God would "put them to the sword".
There is ZERO evidence God said that to Moses or Aaron, and seems contradictory to me (ie they lied). Like the guy you replied to, perhaps even Moses and Aaron weren't so good, and the Israelites did seem to lapse into "infidelity" with God quite easily, didn't they?
Makes you wonder who the real jews are and who has been pretending

How could life act; if it's reacting to being directed from inception towards death?
The actions occur and serve as a lens to reveal what lies within. Intent motivates action. Intent is both innate and developed.
God is merciful. As Jesus said "With man it is impossible, but with God, all things are possible "
