You're doing good work. Most of the people killed at Ai didn't have anything to do with the wedge of gold - but if punishment for wickedness fell only on the wicked, God's purpose would be thwarted. I was reading in the Psalms today, and two verses grabbed me: "The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted." and "His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud; under his tongue is mischief and vanity." No one dies without God's approval - but His purposes are not revealed to our pay grades. Thanks for your efforts and FReegards.

Ergo God's purpose is to punish the righteous?

Is there anybody in there?

Hello?

They seem to think my heart is not broken..it is,do they think any of us take pleasure in this? I understand why Jeremiah wept...

I came across this scripture

Think on it

Mal.2:17Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied [him]? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil [is] good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where [is] the God of judgment?
