God believes in justice on Earth. It's not perfect and it's not heavenly justice. But he approves of righteousness. There's lots of biblical passages that say so. Believers are even cautioned to obey the just rule of human rulers. But believers also know that there will never be perfect justice on Earth, there will always be evil, that the world will never completely turn to Christianity. The great unity and perfection exists only in there hereafter. (I like this about Christianity -- it's not like a religious cult where you're promised perfect happiness in the hear and now if you believe and obey. You're just given a foretaste through your communion with and praise of God of an afterlife of worshipping God.)

There are things God approves of and things He does not. I think he would approve of the just punishment of wrongdoers. I believe Clinton should have been prosecuted. My only point is that Lord knows -- and I mean that literally -- why he hasn't been. Lord knows. So that was a limited point -- that God's not all about making sure everything's perfect on Earth -- that's not his Plan. We are fallen and evil abides here. He wants us to try to prosper and be happy, of course.

"I believe Clinton should have been prosecuted."

And I believe he still shall be prosecuted.

"My only point is that Lord knows -- and I mean that literally -- why he hasn't been. Lord knows."

Perhaps part of the reason was what happened on November 5, 2002, and what shall happen in November 2004, IMHO. The unsatiated LustFerJustice vis a vis Der SchleekMeister and his feckless minions has given a certain number of Americans the desire--an almost divine inspiration--to strike out against the VileLeftists in alternate venues. Would the dissolution of the DemonRAT Party have been as hasty as it has been if Slick had've RESIGNED like he shouldda 4-6 years ago?! Probably not.

"So that was a limited point -- that God's not all about making sure everything's perfect on Earth -- that's not his Plan. We are fallen and evil abides here. He wants us to try to prosper and be happy, of course."

Bringing Clinton to Justice will NOT make life on Earth perfect...we all know that. Still, Clinton is an inarguable EVIL and for America to sit on our arses and pretend that 800-pound jackass ain't really sittin' there waitin' to be SLAUGHTERED is unthinkable to me. You recently summarized my opinion on this issue rather well on another thread, so I want you to understand this clearly...Bringing Clinton to Justice is not really about Clinton receiving what's coming to him at this point, IMHO. Bringing Clinton to Justice is what is required of America--and each individual American--as a whole in order to recapture some of the greatness that America forfeited over the last 40 years in which we've allowed the Left to set the Agenda for America!! In that respect, William Jefferson Clinton must be considered the Epitome of Evil and treated accordingly.

IMHO, God would approve...MUD

Amen! God gave us a FreeWill, and we turned our dominion over to the Devil.

Now, God being 'Just', has to let what we chose to loose in the world, play out in this world.

I hate seeing folks blame God for bad circumstances or conditions. We invited in all the evil garbage- He has to let things go to their conclusions.
Fortunately, He sometimes extends "Grace" and "Mercy", but that is a gift, and cannot be demanded nor expected.

Also, God did NOT promise us 'justice on earth- but justice in the eternal.

He does Love Righteousness, and we do sometimes see His judgment in the world, but we CAN rely on His Justice in the Eternal Hereafter.
