I only asked if it was just for man to punish an innocent for the evil deeds of the guilty, and your answer is NO.
Since you brought God into the mix, my question is, is God just to punish an innocent, by his standard of innocence, for the evil deeds of the guilty? Please don't go off on a tangent of how nobody is innocent, for the purpose of the question it is assumed that there are truly innocent people by God's standard.
I'll give my opinion first, I consider it Satanic to punish an innocent for the evil deeds of the guilty.
Let me answer you with scripture since we can't seem to agree. God does have a basis for innocence sometimes even his enemies it is according to the heart condition or the parents of the child. God has the ability to know what that child will be.
Let's look at God's view on the innocent.
Exo 23: Don't bring false charges against anyone or sentence an innocent person to death. I won't forgive you if you do.
Deu 19:10 so that innocent blood may not be shed in your land which Jehovah your God gives you for an inheritance, and blood may not be on you.
Deu 19:13 Your eye shall not pity him, but you shall put away innocent blood from Israel, so that it may go well with you.
Deu 27:25 Cursed is he who takes reward to kill an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen.
Very interesting this verse.
Job 4:7 Have you ever seen destruction come to an upright man? or when were the god-fearing ever cut off?
Job 8:20 Behold, God will not cast away the innocent, nor will He help the evildoers,
Pro 11:21 Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be innocent; but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.
So you didn't want to hear it but God never put to death anyone that was god fearing.
The parents had to be God fearing for their children to be innocent in God's eyes.
There you have it in God's own words.
the question was not whether there are innocent people in God's eyes, as I said it is assumed for the question. The question is about punishing an innocent for the evil deeds of the guilty. If you did an evil deed, would it be just and Godly to punish an innocent in your place or would it be Satanic to punish an innocent for the evil deeds of others?
God has a different standard in judging as i said earlier.
It does not matter what you or i think God made it clear to be spared when he passed judgement it was according to if the community was righteous or not.
If any were found toi be innocent they would have been spared let me show from another angle.
Gen 18:20 And Jehovah said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous,
Gen 18:21 I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which has come to Me. And if not, I will know.
Gen 18:22 And the men turned their faces away from there, and went toward Sodom. But Abraham still stood before Jehovah.
Gen 18:23 And Abraham drew near and said, Will You also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
Gen 18:24 Perhaps there are fifty righteous within the city. Will You also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are in it?
Gen 18:25 Far be it from You to act in this manner, to kill the righteous with the wicked. And far be it from You, that the righteous should be as the wicked. Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
Gen 18:26 And Jehovah said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
Gen 18:27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak to Jehovah, who am but dust and ashes.
Gen 18:28 Perhaps there will be five lacking from the fifty righteous. Will You destroy all the city for lack of five? And He said, If I find there forty-five, I will not destroy it.
Gen 18:29 And he spoke to Him yet again, and said, Perhaps there shall be forty found there. And He said, I will not do it for forty's sake.
Gen 18:30 And he said, Oh let not Jehovah be angry, and I will speak. Perhaps there shall be thirty found there. And He said, I will not do it if I find thirty there.
Gen 18:31 And he said, Lo now, I have taken upon me to speak to Jehovah. Perhaps there shall be twenty found there. And He said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake.
Gen 18:32 And he said, Oh do not let Jehovah be angry, and I will speak only once more. Perhaps ten shall be found there. And He said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.
Gen 18:33 And Jehovah went His way as soon as He had left off talking with Abraham. And Abraham returned to his place.
God does not destroy the righteous which are innocent.
God already knew there were no righteous people in the city but abraham's family.
