It's an analogy Kevin. You were explaining grace by this analogy. But the Governor is God in your analogy, right?

So why is God punishing the sinner when he is only acting out his nature?

I'll answer your question, but I expect an answer to mine in return.

God is punishing the Unbeliever because they have transgressed God's laws. It doesn't matter that they may have been hard-wired to break God's laws. Sin, and by extension sinners, cannot be in the presence of a Holy God....no matter what the reason is for their sin.

In my analogy, did the Governor owe the two death-row inmates anything? Was the Governor unjust in only pardoning one inmate?
