I don't know. I care nothing for those arguments. What I notice about reaping what we sow is its seen in different ways. A rich sinner reaps friends and their love, and they reap joy, happiness, wealth and luxury.
They wont reap it in Hell.
Why?
Because if you gain the whole world and you die and end up in hell... you made a big mistake, and all your luxury, was 80 yrs, as compared to eternity in the Lake of Fire.
How long will these rich but unsaved be in the Lake of Fire?
A.) For as long as God lives...
See, This WORLD , is the only hell that a born again believer, can experience, while this same place is the only Heaven that a Christ Rejector will ever know.
Meanwhile a poor Saint is abused, hungry, rejected, hated, and may even die horribly like the apostles did.
The Apostles were martyr's.
They were seeds sown into the future of Christianity, just as the Death of Christ is the same.
Also, Saints are the Born again.
This does not require poverty or sickness or death.
God is the author of LIFE, and "poverty is the destruction of the Poor".
Jesus said..>"i came to give you LIFE and that MORE Abundantly"......not less.
Here is a spiritual principle that many need to receive.
What you BELIEVE is your Faith, and you get what you believe.
So, if a person BELIEVES they are to be "suffering" then that is their FAITH< and they'll get it.
See, Faith does not correct bad Belief, it only Obeys it, and what is produced as your destiny...is mostly based on what you believe.
Also, I reap the consequences of my life while others seem perfect and untouched by their faults.
Everyone reaps what they have chosen.
Time delivers the consequence.
The BIBLE says that evil people keep doing it, because the severe execution against their evil, does not come, immediately.
That is THEIR misunderstanding, as it will come for them...given time.
I dunno. I just want God's mercy and love.
That is Jesus.
