hmmmmm .... well was is .... is it punishment or consequences for not obeying God? I think consequences for not obeying God the most part myself. The holocaust was the result of evil wicked devil filled Hitler. I think in regard to the Jews they have and do experience both ... just like we all do.
Ok ... so are consequences for not obeying God punishment? I don't look at them the same way.
So ... the sense of it? If we disobey God we will have a negative outcome(s) ... that makes sense.
Satan creates havoc in our world .... we know that ... that makes sense.
God intervening sometimes and sometimes not?
Isaiah 55
9
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so My ways are higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.
We trust ..... that makes sense. ;o)
It hurts my heart that everything gets blamed on God and we term it as punishment when the reality is for the most part ... we don't listen to Him. From my own experience and though the history .... we continuously rebel and disobey ... and then blame God because we do? Now that does not make any sense at all! ;o)
