...wat? It's not because there's rules (he very well could have simply snapped his fingers), it's because he wanted to demonstrate to us how much he loved us. It has to do with the whole "he is the embodiment of both perfect love and perfect justice" thing.

"I'm going to torture and murder this man who helped the poor and sick, just to show you how much I love you".

Yeah, seems pretty on point for the "you are my chosen people, murder everyone else" god.

If God is truly this powerful, He's a psychopath.

He can create us perfect and kind and loyal, and specifically chooses not to. Instead, He bullies us into serving Him, going for a murder spree in the meanwhile, knowing full well it is entirely avoidable.

All to show how much He loves us.

So god is a masochist?

He could have demonstrated how much love there is by removing all suffering from the world by snapping his fingers too.
