It is true that the sinner will die if he doesn't repent of his sins. It is also true that the sinner cannot repent of his sins without the Power provided by Jesus Christ. But He is trustworthy to finish what He has started in the sinner. He will complete the work of cleansing the sinner so long as the sinner cooperates with Him. This includes keeping the ten commandments. All of them, including the forth commandment of keeping the Sabbath (Saturday) Day Holy.

Very bad, people take God out of their lives and then get angry and wonder why God wasn't there for them when they needed him.

God killed them, he killed lots of people, just not directly. If you don't believe me, look at the flood, Sodom, etc.\nGod did not kill his children directly, but if God is all-powerful he could have stopped it, but he chose not too. Call it a master plan.

Sinful acts borne out of the flesh as a result of Adam's fall.

God hates sin, because it seperates man from Him, it destoys mankind. Sin is bad.

I can't help responding because we are sons of God, His children.\n\nHeb.2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; \n\nNow does that say children? This is the first verse I could think of, there are probably more.

He feared to displease God.

Nope. he had the concept of damnation all wrong. God never wills for anyone to go to Hell. In fact, it pains him to see so many people go there. He want's everyone to be saved, but it is only by faith.

My sister, all fall short of the golry of God, you, me and everyone else! King David new the Commandments yet still he let his fleshly desires send his friend to be killed so David could have his friends wife! And David was called by God "A man after God's own heart.". Jesus miracle on the cross has covered you from these things, and you are right to grieve and be sorry because God loves the penitent(or humble) person! You've done wrong yet so did all the Apostles at one time or another so take heart my sister, for God hasn't abandoned you! I will pray for you and hope that you will do the same for me, and God bless you and have faith!

The cities of the plain were destroyed as a warning for all that this same event will happen again one day to the wicked.  One would think God is capable of preserving this ancient lesson for us to see and learn from.\n\n"Then the Lord rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the Lord out of the heavens"  Genesis 19:24.  "Turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly"  II Peter 2:6.  (The word for "example" means an exhibit for warning.)

Honestly, it's completely true. You can find more references in the biblical book of Rannel'asa, the Gentile that had a horrible ma$turbation problem but really loved God.\n\nI made all that up, just like your question.

The Biblical record does not give any indication that a volcano erupted. It clearly says that "the Lord rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah from the Lord OUT OF THE HEAVENS". Although not exactly the same but in similar fashion, the Lord sent fire down from heaven in 1 Kings chapter 18 and several more times in 2 kings the 1st chapter.

Happy are those that dash babies heads in the stone\n\nThe "wrath of God" is on all unbelievers. 3:36\n\n"The Lord knoweth them that are his." This verse was used by the Catholic Church during the inquisition to justify killing those suspected of heresy. (Kill them all, for `the Lord knows them that are His'." ) 2:19\nf a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death;  their blood shall be upon them.--Lev.20:13\n    While the Israelites were camped at Acacia, some of the men defiled themselves by sleeping with the local Moabite women.  These women invited them to attend sacrifices to their gods, and soon the Israelites were feasting with them and worshiping the gods of Moab.  Before long Israel was joining in the worship of Baal of Peor, causing the LORD's anger to blaze against his people.  The LORD issued the following command to Moses: "Seize all the ringleaders and execute them before the LORD in broad daylight, so his fierce anger will turn away from the people of Israel."  So Moses ordered Israel's judges to execute everyone who had joined in worshiping Baal of Peor.  Just then one of the Israelite men brought a Midianite woman into the camp, right before the eyes of Moses and all the people, as they were weeping at the entrance of the Tabernacle.  When Phinehas son of Eleazar and grandson of Aaron the priest saw this, he jumped up and left the assembly.  Then he took a spear and rushed after the man into his tent. Phinehas thrust the spear all the way through the man's body and into the woman's stomach.  So the plague against the Israelites was stopped, but not before 24,000 people had died.  (Numbers 25:1-9 NLT)\n\n\n    Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear.  Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ.  (Ephesians 6:5 NLT)\n\n \n\n    Christians who are slaves should give their masters full respect so that the name of God and his teaching will not be shamed.  If your master is a Christian, that is no excuse for being disrespectful.  You should work all the harder because you are helping another believer by your efforts.  Teach these truths, Timothy, and encourage everyone to obey them.  (1 Timothy 6:1-2 NLT)

He is too powerfull. Moses saw the back of God and his hair turned gray. If anyone saw the face of God they would die because of His glory.

Yes, Rod C has the right answer for you here.\n\nHe totally dishonoured his brother.\nHe used his brother's wife for his own good pleasure and self-satisfaction, but dd not deliver what was required by God and the custom of ancient Israel.\nAs was pointed out, someone else had to carry out the proper responsibility to his brother ... and through that one, more honourable, came the Son of God.\nSo you can only imagine what God's response to this fellow's shallow act must have been!!!!\n\nIt was a case of 'pleasure and use of a vulnerable woman without honour and responsibility towards her'

We note that “the lake of fire and sulphur” could not be a literal place of torment. (Revelation 19:20)  If Satan were to suffer excruciating torture there for all eternity, Jehovah would have to preserve him alive. Yet, life is a gift, not a punishment.  Death is the punishment for sin, and according to the Bible, dead creatures feel no pain.  (Romans 6:23; Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10.) Moreover, we read later that death itself, along with Hades, is cast into this same lake of fire and sulfur.  Surely, death and Hades cannot suffer pain!—Revelation 20:14.\n\n27 All of this reinforces the view that the lake of fire and sulfur is symbolic. Further, the mention of fire and sulfur calls to mind the fate of ancient Sodom and Gomorrah, destroyed by God because of their gross wickedness. When their time came, “Jehovah made it rain sulphur and fire from Jehovah, from the heavens, upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah.” (Genesis 19:24) What befell the two cities is called “the judicial punishment of everlasting fire.” (Jude 7)  Yet, those two cities did not suffer everlasting torment.  Rather, they were blotted out, obliterated for all time, along with their depraved inhabitants. Those cities do not exist today, and no one can say for sure where they were located.\n\nIn harmony with this, the Bible itself explains the meaning of the lake of fire and sulfur:  “This means the second death, the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:14)  It is complete, utter destruction without hope of a resurrection.  Thus, while there are keys for death, Hades, and the abyss, there is no mention of a key for opening the lake of fire and sulfur.  (Revelation 1:18; 20:1) I t will never release its captives.—Compare Mark 9:43-47.\n\nIf you would like further information, please contact Jehovah's Witnesses at the local Kingdom Hall.

I read a link once that had counted every murder by god and satan in the bible.  The final count was smething close to God- 1 000 000 and Satan-10.   Speaks for itself I guess.
