Heaven seems awful 2 me-"Theist laughs at loudly & with great cruelty"

I was just presenting a theoretical case, but not without precedent. After his conversion, John Newton didn't walk away from the slave trade immediately but rather initially only resolved to treat the slaves humanely. His growth into a great abolitionist took some time. While repentance happens the instant we turn our eyes to the Lord and He grants us our salvation without hesitation, the regeneration of hearts and the renewing of minds both take time.
