I find the good news that Jesus didn't wipe out people who sinned against him in horrific ways very palatable. I find the good news that God will forgive anyone who confesses and forsakes sin committed against him and his anointed very palatable.
Jesus will wipe out in horrific ways all of the unsaved. It just that it wasn't His time to do so then for the sake of the Father's promise made to Abraham for those of his spiritual seed yet to be born. No one can confess and forsake sin unless born again - with the sin being the rejection of Christ as the only Saviour begotten of God the Father.
See the above re: the destroying of sinners.Yes, showing how his Father patiently endures wrongdoing against himself, without destroying the sinners.
And He WILL DO so, at a time of His choosing. The judgment wasn't dispensed with, only to be executed atExactly! As a man, our Lord did not do what the Judge of all the earth had every right to do. He could have killed them right there,
a time so chosen for it. That judgment, when it occurs, will be far worse than just bodily death.
Bodily death is trivial compared to the second death. Anyway, all die bodily sooner or later, which, they of
that particular event, already have. So, as they weren't immediately destroyed then, nevertheless, the same end has come upon them - they gained nothing.
He nailed the ordinances which were "against us" to the cross. The ordinances which condemn false witnesses and those who slay the innocent.
Which required that Jesus be crucified. The ordinances were those that lead someone to working for their
salvation, instead of trusting completely in Christ as Saviour to provide salvation.
Yes and if God hadn't endured the sins of men against himself, if he hadn't put the law to death, that would have been the end of those who condemned him.
No, at a time of God's choosing, the second death will come upon all of the unsaved. They've escaped
absolutely nothing - absolutely nothing has changed.
You seem to want to change the gospel into a humanistic, secular gospel, instead of a gospel of the spiritual which it is. The worst eventually that could ever happen to someone in the physical realm, is meaningless next to the terrible events that will befall the unsaved in the spiritual realm at the appropriate time. Compared to it, physical death will be just a walk in the park.
