Your post is way too kind.
Jesus says over and over again that the way to destruction is broad - wide, and that the road to life is narrow (Matthew 7:13-14) and further in Luke 13:24.
He’s not playing when it comes to this.
I think the numbers game pretty much rules out 95%+ of the entire world’s population that has ever lived judging by His description of it.
Even most so-called Christians would rather think that their old grandpa who was “good” and long gone is now in Heaven than to even chisel away at what it actually takes to be saved - to be sure.
Sad sad state....
Folks would rather chase death.
Folks would rather live for now.
Folks would rather satisfy the flesh.
Folks would rather (fill in the blank)...
Than to believe, repent, and be saved.
I hear you.
In another thread about some Haitians dealing barbarously with some gang members I addressed causes why that may be “a way” for black communities to solve the gang problem in places like Detroit ...
... and I characterize the dilemma they are in, that 1) the gangs can take advantage of all this race radicalism / race grievance hustling known among these inner-city communities so the government cannot correct things anymore (else the whole we vs they thing kick in) and 2) the gangs are better organized than their victims.
THE best and real way to deal with the gangs is through revival and bringing them, the gangs, through repentance in Christ by preaching the only Gospel.
But the very ideology of race grievances, an ideology ... to be blunt ... rooted in NOT forgiving stands in the way of that. Forgiving others is not a suggestion (even as forgiving does not mean surrendering to the unrepentant) and a doctrine of unforgiveness must hinder prayers ... and heeded prayer is the only way those spiritual strongholds come down.
As you said, the Lord isn’t playing around.
So here I would suggest I’m not being too nice to the reprobates that are the topic of this thread because I’ve only mentioned forgiveness for wrongs done to the forgiver, and not either extreme of forgiving on the part of someone else or holding a grudge vicariously. I do not particularly have anything I can personally forgive these men of, for aside from grieving me that they would do thus they have not wronged me, but they SHOULD at a minimum be held liable for their incompetence under law. It is too bad the laws of men in question don’t allow for 4’ drops in these instances!
And that includes even when the mutilated survive. These mutilations should be flatly illegal.
But as with the street gangs, these depraved folks benefit because the laws unwisely and wickedly empathize with them in their wickedness.
