I have, you must have been, and still really are blind to the grace of God.
Originally posted by @fmfHmm, what else do you think your going to get from anyone other than what makes sense to them? This is a difference between us, I am here for conversation I can accept answers I don’t happen to agree with, I am not here for a fault finding criticism investigation. I suppose that might be why nothing I say is good enough for you.
Rely on your generic dogma by all means, but not to insulate yourself from the discussion; bring it to bear on the specific points I am putting to you. You seem to think your take on "God taking action against evil" adds up and makes sense - it doesn't, except perhaps to you - and I suspect this is because your own understanding of what you claim seems unexamined and is probably just as opaque - and as 'recited' - as your attempts to explain it.
Originally posted by @fmfGod is giving room for repentance and salvation, evil and wickedness are being clearly defined so that when He puts an end to such things it will clearly be a righteous end and judgement!

Originally posted by @kellyjayThis is generic dogma. Take the two questions and show how this dogma demonstrates God "taking action against evil", whether it be the "evil" of the Holocaust, the "evil" of child abuse, or the "evil" you do.

Yes, you suggest you are "forgiven" for the "evil" you do. Over and over again. Good for you ... so no divine action is taken against you for your "wicked and evil ways". Understood.
Now how about my two questions?
If it's the same for the Christian person exterminating Jews or the Christian person covering up the child abuse - i.e. no action taken against these instances of "evil" - just say so.
Originally posted by @fmfI really don’t care about your current beliefs and have told you what I do care about. So simply caring is meaningless in this conversation as only your interests matter no one else’s.
I am asking you about your current beliefs. What is it about my current beliefs that you want to know?
