Punishment and suffering aren't the same, the Lord allows those that serve him to suffer because it molds us, teaches us, fills us with hope and faith. This forum has been a tool for the Lord working in me. I have already been able to witness to many because I have spoken to them about my discussions on this forum. I am being verbally persecuted, but I walked into it, and the Lord is using it to prepare me for the work ahead.
Punishment denotes the Lord's wrath, but the Lord is slow to anger, his wrath hasn't been realized yet. Those who disobey him have the spirit of the enemy working in them, they suffer enough under his reign, but eventually the Lord will pour his wrath on the enemy (Satan) and them, every person will be made to answer for what they have done. It is only by the blood of Jesus that I will spared.
So people who serve god suffer and people who reject him suffer? and jesus blood will spare you??? Nothing you ever did, no one you ever helped just the sweet aroma of death saves you from god's wrath? "Oh i could torture you forever but you actually believed in that shit about me killing myself to convince myself to forgive you guys, so you deserve to be spared."
If I die and god is real, im so screwed.
