II Thess 1:8 vengeance. explain

<< < (2/3) > >>

Dave in Tenn:
Darren, I guess technically the 'stripes' could be the marks left from the beating...at least that's been the way I understood it.  But yes, you are on the mark.  But remember, like with all things physical, it is the Spiritual that's important.  We can and do recieve stripes now without anybody laying anything physical on our backs. Count it as all joy.

Hi Darren,

To add to the good answers you have already received.

2Peter 2:9  then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment,

We understand that everyone in the Lake of fire judgement is deserving of punishment for their sins, but Christ is a just Judge.  He will meter out the punishment as fitting for each, some only a little - "few stripes,"  But for some a lot is needed - "many stripes."

Luke 12:47  And that servant who knew his master's will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
v. 48  But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few.

mercy, peace and love

Kat you quoted a verse that said: and the servent who knew his master's will and did not prepare himself, or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. I take this as If we know God's will and yet reject or refuse to do according to His will, we will be beaten with many stripes. How can we not do God's will if it is His will for us to do? If we refused to do God's will then that also must be God's will for us not to do His will. Why then would we have to bare many stripes if He is responsible for us not doing His will. I hope you can understand what I'm trying to say, I think I lost myself in this question. :D :o. Or maby I just got Luke 12:47 all wrong. With me it is possible.

Darren,

That sounds like the question posed in Romans 9:

Rom9:19-21  You will say to me then, "Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?"
20 But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, "Why have you made me like this?"
21 Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use?

And I am guessing it is also the answer to the question.
