What is the point of being good if everyone is forgiven anyway?? Where is the justice for those who were wronged, if God just forgives the perpetrators as long as they believe in Jesus?
I need someone to translate your posts for me. It doesn't surprise me that justice in the bible is miss ta ken for punishing the "assumed" sinner .
it is necessary to provide the aura of an imprimatur, so that people may misunderstand--see and not see--thereby revealing their heart, and providing you with your most valuable in formation; besides being on the wane--improving all of the time, iow--as well as...window...something, church...levels...ya, that's all i got.

I don't think so. "why be good?" That's the focal point. I am atheist, "I am good" because all we have is each other. well, sorta good
Maybe because I never believed in "be good or he'll get me" so it seems like a silly question. be good for goodness sake. I have no other justification. If a person doesn't understand that ? taz them until they do or shut them off, like any other broken piece of machinery.
"Don't be deceived, campers; it is those who do good that are good."
It depends what you mean by justice.... by someone getting their comeuppance or the oppressed and the poor and needy having justice on their side. I favor the latter.
It's only the fundamentalist mindset that wants other to get their just desserts.

I think it is a false paradigm, perhaps, to intimate "bad" here, when it is actually a record of progress. The poor and needy have a voice now, in you. "Poor and needy" is in the decline, iow, despite "News" to the contrary. Well, the poor you will always have with you, so ya it doesn't surprise me that this prophecy is being attacked, on another level...so many levels, lol
but ya, what they said
