[QUOTE="razeontherock, post: 61571385, member: 263091"] I think that question gets asked or addressed in different contexts, and it can seem like the same people wind up espousing wildly different ideas. I don't think that's really the case though, just a matter of appearances. In the context of judgment for sin, I think anybody who both knows God and reads the Bible has no choice but to concede that both punishment and rewards are doled out in differing amounts, based on merit. A wholly different context is the idea of God's standards, whereby we are either acceptable to Him or not. The most extreme example of this is perhaps the passage that "if you break even one point of the law, you are guilty of breaking all of it." That's an idea that is 100% foreign to Judaism, in which the law was given. Also notice that none of this has any bearing on whether God loves an individual or not. Considering all the above, it shouldn't be surprising that we will hear different ideas about any of this, and that some statements might seem to conflict. [/QUOTE]
