Not arguing the point because I believe it is an “and/or” in the Kingdom of God.
We are to love and pray for our enemies...this is one of the greatest commandments. I would submit though, when God has had enough of evil, he not only brings his wrath supernaturally, he uses nations and their armies to wipe out the evil. Would you not agree? Your thoughts?
I’m not sure that I understand whata you are saying in your first sentence??
Yes, we are to love and pray for our enemies. It’s just that it is very hard to do, at least for me. I do try, and sometimes, by the help of the Holy Spirit, succeed.
Like you, I also believe that God will intervene in the world. I believe that He can do it supernaturally, but in general I think that He uses natural means. That is to say, people to effect His will. Or even forces of Nature.
Who knows if a tornado or hurricane or great fire is just the universe playing out, or if God intervened supernaturally? It’s not like you can run a repeatable experiment to determine the question.
But I do not believe in a Watchmaker God who set the universe in motion and then withdrew from it.
When a people becomes so completely corrupt that it is irredemable (sp?) and is in danger of corrupting others who might be redeemed, I believe God cuts them out like a cancer.
I don’t think a lack of love is involved, though.
