2 | Gods punishment? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 119400 | ||
hms, God still punishes people. God is "all forgiving" of "all confessed and repented of". It is good to point out that God is also all just and how His Justice and Mercy work outs is a mystery only He fully understands. Jesus spoke more about hell and eternal punishment than anyone else in the Bible. God does not force His mercy on anyone. Mention the Our Father" "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." And mention the story of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5:1-11. "2091 The first commandment is also concerned with sins against hope, namely, despair and presumption: By despair, man ceases to hope for his personal salvation from God, for help in attaining it or for the forgiveness of his sins. Despair is contrary to God's goodness, to his justice - for the Lord is faithful to his promises - and to his mercy. 2092 There are two kinds of presumption. Either man presumes upon his own capacities, (hoping to be able to save himself without help from on high), or he presumes upon God's almighty power or his mercy (hoping to obtain his forgiveness without conversion and glory without merit)." http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p3s2c1a1.htm#2091 Emmaus |
