What should God do now? His ways are so much above mine that I do not even want to make a guess.
What should God have done? Just what a judge would do. (God set up the whole system of justice, and he rules just as judges SHOULD rule, objetively), Rule in a manner th a t befits the crimes.
The principle is simple... don’t wanna do the time? Then don’t do the crimes. We reap what we sow. We have noone to blame but ourselves for the consequences of our crimes.
God knew their hearts were hardened and beyond redemption. He did not kill innocent people . He knows the past present and future, and knows if ANYONE would have repented or not. When He is finally forced to act, you can bet that Noone was redeemable of all that were destroyed
“Buzzards gotta eat, same as worms.”
That whole thing with the sinner’s prayer is spiritually off.
Look at most christians’ favorite verse in the bible, John 3:16. It says NOTHING about sin.
Now look at the next verse. John 3:17 says that Jesus did not come to judge.
So who are we to be bringing up sin, righteousness and judgement. That is NOT our job! Our job is to deliver ONLY good news, not bad news.
The holy Spirit has the unenviable job of convincing people of their sin, what righteousness looks like, and the judgement awaiting those who discard the message. It is the Holy Spirit’s job, not ours.
Preach the good news, not the bad news.
“He did not kill innocent people .”
There were no innocent children killed in the Great Flood?
Without a knowledge of sin and its consequences the good news isn’t really good news. One must see a need for a savior before one wants a savior
God ruled justly. If you doubt it. Take it up with Him
Bullshiite
John 3:17
You evaded the question.
Um read the rkmans road to salvation passagesit mentions sin and the need for salvation plenty.
For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ the lord
Josie Wales fan, I see.
“Deserve’s got nuthin ta do with it”
No I didn’t. God ruled justly. That is your answer. If you have problem with how He ruled, take it up with Him.
We do not know ALL as He does. He makes decisions with complete facts; we don’t.
Rkmans???
‘He did not kill innocent people’
so all the infants, born and preborn, that were killed off in the great flood were guilty of greivous sins...?
Presuming you mean Roman’s road to salvation... It is obvious that John3:17 supersedes that bullshiite because those are the very words of Jesus.
Wow, okay then, have an nice day
God ruled justly, and spared them having to be raised In a godless society to die in sin and live in eternity In hell. As mentioned a.ready. God knows past present future. He is omniscient and perfectly just,, He ruled justly.
“No I didn’t. God ruled justly. That is your answer. If you have problem with how He ruled, take it up with Him.”
I didn’t question God’s judgement. I questioned your statement.
And you evaded answering my question.
