Bible Note: I would provide scripture as a whole as the framework for my statements, which you refer to as, views. Surely you are aware of the judgments passed on, and endured by the nation Israel. What makes you think God has changed his way of dealing with men and nations? Can you provide scripture to the contrary? Those you have provided are most assuredly true, but way out of context concerning what I have stated. I think you may be confusing consequence with final judgment. As to judging another, I have stated many times, and I cannot understand why anyone who has read or studied scripture would not agree, that no one can judge another, but we have the authority and are expected to judge the actions of that other, and make them aware of the consequences thereof. I did not say “shove it down their throat.” I said “make them aware.” Just as our Lord did, and taught His original disciples to do. Yes, there will be a final judgment. Tell me where scripture states that there are not judgments and prices to pay before that final one. God passes judgments on individuals as well as nations, even today. Why He passes or does not pass judgments on any one particular individual or nation, is a question you will have to present to Him, for I am only another messenger of His word, not the originator thereof, nor one who claims to know the mind of God. These judgments do not always result in eternal damnation or death, but can you say that there are no lessons we can learn from them? Do you not think that if, perhaps we were to turn back to His Word, He might not choose to bless us, rather than allow such destruction as there has been in the last 3 or 4 years?
