Bible Question: How can an all-loving God kill people with flames of fire from the sky (Kings) |
Bible Answer: Hi, henry1000! PasserBy offered you an excellent post! What you have to realize is that God's Mercy and Judgment go hand in hand. His Mercy abounds! His Judgment is final! The people from the Old Testament lived in a different era--as far as the Divine Plan--and they were subjected to temporal values and judgment. Once Christ died for our sins, He preached to those spirit who once were rebellious (1 Peter 1:18-25 and 3:18-20). God Bless! Angel |
