It explains how the judgement (evaluation) works. The Day will be for everyone. 1 Corinthians 3:12-15 NIV If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be...

Extinction of what? What is burned up in this passage? 1 Corinthians 3:12-15 NIV If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire...

To what end? (restoration) The restoration of Sodom and Gomorrah from "eternal" fire Jude 1:7 In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire...

St. SteVen said: Your question seems to foster the idea that if we make one wrong move God will strike us dead. Of course. My statement is cautionary. What point are you trying to make about the "wrath of God" with the story of Herod? You asked for my take. What's yours? [

aionios = eon = age One age precedes the next. Ephesians 2:6-8 NIV And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in...

Part of the problem in understanding this is what we assume about judgement. (evaluation) We assume it means punishment. And in some cases that it means eternal punishment. We know that there will also be rewards. And that even those whose works burn up completely will be saved. [

So, instead of acting on His anger He sits and stews about it? [

I see God as being more mature and in control than that. I could squash an ant that raises his fist to me. But what's the point? We are created in His image. Probably more reflective than we realize. Yes. What do we do with those passages? Like Noah's flood. No one likes to admit it was...

Certainly an isolated incident. How did the writer know that the cause of death was an angel of the Lord striking him down? Or that the cause of death was "because he did not give God the glory"? Your question seems to foster the idea that if we make one wrong move God will strike us dead. [

I have attended all (most) of my life. Except for a few years as a young adult. I love my church. [

Agree. I picture an unbridled rage. An absolute fury of retaliation. Nothing holy about it. [

Was Ananias a believer? [

Any nose-thumbing is directed at those who created (and support) the tyrant god of the church. And the extortion by fear that comes with it. Believe or burn. [

LOL You have a right to your own opinion. I see you have played the "God card" in the hope of ending the discussion. Fine by me. [

What if you are wrong about God's character? Would you be upset if someone viewed you as unhinged tyrant? [

Where is Ananias now? [

The interlinear Greek only allows one verse at a time. My point was to show that the "What if" was in the original Greek. (for verse 22) Why did you omit it? [

I couldn't find any translation of Romans 9:22 that didn't include the "What if". It appears that you intentionally omitted it. ??? (changes the meaning) [

What was the attraction? The fear of God? (extortion) [
