2 | Retribution? | Gal 6:7 | jlhetrick | 201831 | ||
Val- sorry for the late response. I don't get a chance to check my email or the forum daily and even then can't respond to everything. To your question - yes absolutely. This might be helpful: Vengeance - "punishment inflicted in retaliation for an injury or offense, retribution" retribution- retribuere to pay back, fr. retribuere to pay — more at tribute] 14c 1 : recompense, reward 2 : the dispensing or receiving of reward or punishment esp. in the hereafter 3 : something given or exacted in recompense esp : punishment Both definitions taken from Merriam-Webster (2003). Hope this is helpful. God bless, Jeff |

Jeff, Do you think Sowing/Reaping are the same as retribution/vengeance? |

4 | Retribution? | Gal 6:7 | jlhetrick | 201836 | ||
Hi Val! No I don't. Retribution/vengeance speaks to act of rewarding (and where it applies to God the rewarding is always just). Reaping speaks to the receivers receiving of the reward (good or bad). Sowing speaks to the behavior of the receiver/reaper that earns the reward. Is this helping???? God bless, Jeff |

Yes very helpful, thanks Does Sowing/Reaping refer only to rewards we get in heaven? Is there a here and now Sowing/Reaping? For instance if I plant/sow a crop this spring say of tomatoes, should I normally expect some nice juicy tomatoes this summer? Also what if I behave badly (sow angry words)toward my best friend for no reason - say I am just in a bad mood and want to take it out on her. What kind of response would I normally receive? What if she replyed angryly back? Would you say I am reaping what I had sown? |
