1 | God warns: disobey and see consequences | Zech 7:12 | D Bee Girl | 2177 | ||
Surely, this verse and one following later in the chapter makes it look like God is vindictive. However, I keep thinking that there are consequences to ones behavior, especially when one goes against the instructions given by God. I am often hard-pressed to understand and baffled by the loving manner of God who punishes us when we disobey but somehow finds a way to bless us when we turn back toward him and make even these sins of our somehow turn out to our good.

2 | God warns: disobey and see consequences | Zech 7:12 | kalos | 2212 | ||
I appreciate your note. However, I would never accuse God of vindictiveness (not saying that you did that). Instead, I would point out that one of God's many attributes is His JUSTICE. Justice is defined as: "2 a : the quality of being just, impartial, or fair b (1) : the principle or ideal of just dealing or right action (2) : conformity to this principle or ideal : RIGHTEOUSNESS." It seems that many of us Americans have a real problem recognizing and reverencing the justice as well as the sovereignty of God. (Again, this is not directed at you. I am just commenting on Americans in general, including some Forum members in particular.) |
