Re: [Bulk] [TruthTalk] Street Preaching

Unfortunately, I've had too much experience where love won the day. No need 
to cast anyone out forever to save their souls! :-) I won't share them here 
as they involve other people.

Love,
Caroline

Now how to you reconcile your understanding of
His wrath with Him being love?
Simple.  They are one in the same.  If I love my daughter and someone 
hurts
my daughter, I should punish that person.  When one of my children hurts
another, I punish that child because of my love for my children, both for
the offender and the one offended.

I have never faced the situation where one of my children walked in
rebellion and became incorrigible, but I know from God that if such were 
to
happen, I should be angry with that child and cast away that child 
forever.

Righteousness is the ability to be punitive toward sinners for the sake of
the whole community.  It is a wicked heart which seeks to ignore sin and 
let
it go unpunished.  Mercy and grace is an entirely different thing, for 
with
it comes redemption.  If there is no redemption, there can be no mercy and
grace manifested.

Peace be with you.
