Was God Haggled??
Joel:
Abraham asked the Lord in Genesis 18:25 "Shall not the judge of all the earth do right"?
The answer of course is yes, and we are told that the wages of sin is death, and then comes the judgement.
God is in complete control of the life that he has given to mankind, and it's entirely up to him when to put an end to it as he did At Sodom. He also did a similar act when he brought the flood and many people died, and only Noah and his family were spared.
I can see that God has proved many times that he is in control of death, as he did when all the first born of the Egyptians died before the Exodus, and many other instances also.
The most interesting part in my view, is the judgement after resurrection. And just how it will be carried out and what the outcome is. And how God sees all the individuals that have lived on the face of the earth since the beginning.
Jesus made a statement that sticks in my mind concerning Sodom and Gomorrah in Matthew 11-15
14-And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
15-Verily I say unto you, it shall be MORE TOLERABLE for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha IN THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT, than for that city.
So indeed the Judge of all the earth does, and will do right.
Joel
