You know if you can look beyond all the bickering that goes on sometimes in the religion threads, sometimes you can learn something important. I took a look at that those verses from a different perspective last night. I think those two verses kinda say it all in regard to what God wants in accordance with his nature and his holiness, what God allows in accordance with his patience and his grace and his mercy and what will ultimately glorify him in the end in accordance with his justice, mercy and holiness.
It is amazing what Truth one sees when self is laid aside (pride, ego, contention, etc.)
Strangely, that is the very subject of Religion Mod's Daily Reflection for today!
