Ho about we walk back through some biblical history on that comment and look at it a bit more closely? God himself brought what many of the liberals would deem harsh judgements and punishments .
God who is love and light and in whom no darkness dwells at all wanted to save all those people. Their own decisions left them open to attack by the devil. He is the one who kills steals and destroys. You have to want God generally if you want His help. He is always willing, but you gotta lose yiu free will to engage.
He gave JUST punishment for EVIL acts. There are lots of instances. Go crack open a Bible and read. If you disagree with God’s word, you need to tale that up with Him, not me.
He never did that to my knowledge and I have poured through much of the Bible and saved to my memory bank, yet he did give what many were calling harsh punishments for those who refused to repent of evil. Just a few examples:
Your understanding could be better grasped understanding idioms. God himself only allows what the individual does not ask him to prevent. Those who do not believe him generally don't ask.
Just wanted to say that I agree with you, and thanks for reminding us. Self righteous justice (rage) is so tempting, but it only leads to more grief. Let God win. He owns the courts, even the corrupt ones (they'll have to explain themselves to a Judge soon enough.)
Be ye angry amd sin not (without breaking fellowship w/God).
Righteous anger
I would balance that out with some Scripture...
† for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God. James 1:20 NASB1995
No,but when people walk away and God is no longer able to cover them because of their rejection of him. Then The devil gets to have his way until you ask God again for help.
