If God were to strike me dead on the way to work it would be a just action based solely on the sins of this morning. “Extremely moral” is not good enough, a passing grade only goes to the perfectly moral and perfectly Holy. Once you understand this, you will understand why all of us need Christ.

So your argument is that God could be justifiably much more violent against us, and therefore we should be happy he's given us SOME mercy? In other words, we should 'take the mercy we can get' from God?

Isn't there some term for this, like 'battered wife syndrome'?

Yes without question.

and therefore we should be happy he's given us SOME ANY mercy?

NASB Romans 8:28 28 And we know that God [1] causes all [a] things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called [b] according to His purpose.

Yes we should be, but we are still fallen, I don’t always take the discipline God hands out to me with joy, though I am (often begrudgingly) thankful I have received it. Where would we be if our parents never disciplined us?

In other words, we should 'take the mercy we can get' from God?

What is there to “take”? You can’t take grace. I can’t “take” the fact that I got to work this morning in one piece; you make it sound like I chose an option? I can count my blessings and do, is that what you are asking?
