I Kings 18:22 & 40 Elijah, God’s prophet, slit the throats of 450 Baal prophets.
My Gawd! God's man Elijah slit the throats of 450 men of another religion? Elijah certainly performs the usual qualification to be God's man. Would you want Elijah to baby-sit your kids?
II Kings 1:9-12 Elijah ordered God to murder by fire, toast, and instant won-ton 102 soldiers.
Joshua had ordered God to make the Sun stand still so that Joshua could finish all God's murdering of men, women and children so to steal their land. God takes orders from murderous men, C&V.
II Kings 1:16-17 Elijah told King Ahaziah: Because the King sent messengers to inquire about Beelzebub, he’ll die. He died.
II Kings 2:8 Elijah struck the river Jordan and it divided. Both Elijah and Elisha walked over on dry land. Once there, God sent flaming horses and chariots between them and took Elijah up to Heaven in a whirlwind (without dying).
This "vehicle" could be described to be a type of "flying-saucer" somewhat like the "vehicles" described in the first chapter of the book of Ezekiel.
