Bible Question: Why does God destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, when he gives other people a chance to repent? I was confronted with this question, and I had no answer. |
Bible Answer: The biggest example I can think of in support of EdB's point is the story of Ninevah and the message preached to them by Jonah. Remember Jonah DID NOT want to go and preach this message. Further than that, after doing so after being chastised by God inside a great fish for 3 days and nights, Jonah went to the hillside to watch the "fireworks" and the destruction of Ninevah. But to his disappointment, Ninevah (apparently the vast majority) did repent at Jonah's message from God and they DID save themselves from their own destruction. So you see, what the most important thing our Lord wants from us is our heart and attitude to be contrite and humble like the "man after God's own hear" King David. Hope this helps and God bless. --Rowdy |
