Do you believe The Father, punishes us for sin ?

Question

For every action, there is a reaction. The same could
be said, in the spiritual world. If we lie, cheat, steal,
fornicate, use profane language, kill, and lust after the
evil things of this world, then we get punished.

Does God punish us for sin ?

There are no such thing as happy
criminals. Evil doers are not happy.
But have deep inner turmoil, that
can deceive almost the most
brilliant minds. Cause no bad
deed goes unpunished. Not one.

At th end of the day, we are all
already forgiven......

Answer 1

yes, because He wants us to learn from something wrong we did because He loves us so much He doesn't want us to be wrong. He wants us to mature in His good path.

Answer 2

oh how foolish of these religious types to suggest that unsafe sex causes AIDS!!

It really does not. It will help to spread AIDS, but AIDS can still be spread in holy-matrimonious sexual activity that your God supposedly approves of.

And where do you think it came from? Do you think it just appeared one day when someone had pre-marital sex or something? according to your religion, GOD made everything. You cannot claim it is a sin, it isnt. It is an actual syndrome from an actual virus, therefore it acutally exists, so your God must have made it, no?

and by the way....

AIDS can also be spread through non-sexual contact, so how can you explain that as God's punishment for fornication?

Answer 3

Hello my dear, this is where grace comes in. When we sin, it separates us from God as he is a holy God whom cannot tolerate sin. However, as we are all human we all sin, this is why Jesus came to die - so that he could take the punishment for us in our place and then conquered death so the price is paid and we can be forgiven. If a person becomes a Christian, we are forgiven for sins past, present and future, however, when we sin now it temporarily cuts us off from God and we need to repent in order to open the lives of communication. When we sin, God yup does indeed punish us as someone has already stated - as any loving father would so we can be safe and learn from it - but we don't get the punishment we deserve, as Jesus took our place.

Answer 4

Christians in particular get punished for their sins -- unless they already are disapproved.

The punishment must come so that the Christian is not to be judged with this world. Depending upon the severity of the sin, the punishment will match the crime with mercy!

However, if willful practice of sin has occurred then only damnation awaits with no sacrifice left.

Answer 5

No, he dosen't strike us with lightning or turn us into swine, We end up punishing ourselves and getting judged by our fellow peers.

1) Lies - our credibility and respect is lost.

2) Cheat - loss of integrity and retaliation from class dismissal to death from university to mafia

3) Steal - Jail time, criminal record limiting life's options.

4) Fornicate - lots of STD's and other crispy critters.

5) Profane Language - classed as uneducated low life and treated accordingly

6) Kill - imprisonment, death penaty in some cases, retaliation from victims' relatives etc.

7) Lust for evil things - brings on all the above.

We punish ourselves and somehow i get the feeling it would be better to be punished by God... he at least could reverse the situation.

Answer 6

God does not angrily intervene to punish us whenever we step out of line. In reality, He generally allows us to suffer the consequences of our own selfish, shortsighted behavior (see Jeremiah 2:19; 10:23). Most people fail to recognize that God doesn't have to directly intervene every time we sin; the spiritual laws He set in motion are self- enforcing, bringing their own punishment when we break them. Just as God set in motion the physical laws of the universe which do not change, He set in motion His spiritual laws which also do not change. For example; with the law of gravity, if you drop something that is heavier than air, it will automatically fall to the ground, right?.....So it is with God's Spiritual Laws. If you transgress the Spiritual Laws of God, (even in ignorance) you will reap the consequences of your actions. The penalty is automatic and is self enforced. Were we to follow God's instruction on a national scale, we would see immediate and drastic reductions in crime, disease, hostilities between nations, pollution, accidents, mental illness, broken families, shattered relationships and many other phenomena that cause us grief. God's law is not harsh or onerously restrictive. It is a law of liberty (James 1:25) that would eliminate most of the world's pain if it were universally obeyed.

Answer 7

The answer to that question is: NO!!
Why? Because there is no father god.
It`s all in the mind. If anyone needs punishing it is that god himself, or herself, whatever, for sending a tsunami to kill 250,000 men, women and children.
Why did the god do that?
I`ll tell you the answer, or the answer you`ll get from uninformed christians, it is this: "God moves in mysterious ways his wonders to perform." Or, "It is god`s will."
Thats the religious way out. That`s it. That`s all. It is not more explanatory because christians are not very good at working things out for themselves, they have to be told and must not question the answers.
Find yourself a brick wall, bang your head against it, it is less informative and less painful that trying to get sensible logic out of blind brainwashed christians.

Answer 8

God the Father does not punish us for our sins because He had already exacted His punishment on Jesus on the cross for all our sins. If we do the wrong things in the natural the natural laws and the law of the land will punish us.

Answer 9

I believe that unless we ask for Jesus' interference we are stuck with the consequences of our actions. It is not God punishing us as he warned us not to do these things or the consequences would happen so when we do the bad things the consequences are allowed. God is "just" as well as "merciful".

Answer 10

Yes..God is a loving, caring Father who wants the best for us. And any good father sometimes has to punish his children.
God bless
