Where did the Wrath of God go? Part 2

[Revmitchell]

IF we repent and accept Jesus as Lord we are saved, even if no Psa, seems to be his view here!

He seems to be indicating that it's not necessary for the sin to be judged and the price for it to be paid.

So if we murder someone we should just go before the judge and say I am sorry and I will not do it anymore? And if he doesn't accept that as a reason not to impose justice then he is being a child? Is that your logic?

It depends.

Should Paul have been tried and convicted for being an accessory to murder. By our courts standard, probably. But God made Paul a different person.

My logic is if you punch me in the face I do not have to punch somebody in the face to forgive you.

I was put in mind of Proverbs 26:18-19, but we are all sinners and know, or should, that we are likely to cause offense on occasion and should therefore forgive that we may be forgiven (Matthew 5:14-15). God is nothing like that.

God does not make mistakes.

God is not like us (Psalms 50:21; Isaiah 55:8-9). To those who have sheltered in the shed blood of Christ, 1 John 1:7-9 applies. To those who have not, John 3:18-19 & Psalms 5:4-6 apply.

I agree that God does not make mistakes. He will not punish the just to forgive the unjust.

No, what he did was legal as he was given authority. He brought them to the authorities. Not sure why that needs explaining.

No. We are talking about divine justice. That you believe Paul was in the right to contribute to the stoning on Stephen is a bit off.
