THIS IS TAKEN FROM TODAY'S CURRENT EMAIL READING FROM DAILY MANNA, NOT SOME MADE UP OR SELF THOUGHT !!!! GOD IS ALIVE TODAY AND TREATS US THE SAME, YES JESUS CAME BUT GOD STILL JUDGES.
For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment; if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others; if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; 2 Peter 2:4-6 NIV

2 Peter 2:4-6 The one above is the NIV now the message version 4-5God didn't let the rebel angels off the hook, but jailed them in hell till Judgment Day. Neither did he let the ancient ungodly world off. He wiped it out with a flood, rescuing only eight people—Noah, the sole voice of righteousness, was one of them.
6-8God decreed destruction for the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. A mound of ashes was all that was left—grim warning to anyone bent on an ungodly life. But that good man Lot, driven nearly out of his mind by the sexual filth and perversity, was rescued. Surrounded by moral rot day after day after day, that righteous man was in constant torment.

NIV footnotes for todays living of 2 Peter:
I fGod did not spare angels sor people who lived before the flood or the citizens of Sodom and Gomoarrah, he would not spare thtese falst eachers, Some people would have us believe that God will save all people because He is so loving, But it is FOOLISH TO THINK THAT HE WILL CNACEL THE LAST JUDGEMENT. The 3 examples should warn us NOW< in 2007..... that clearly God judges sin and the UNREPENTENT SINNERS CANNOT ESCAPE, PLEASE NOTE ...UNREPENTENT. aND IF YOU really want to know the truth and you confess to believe in God and Jesus, then turn to him and pray and ask HIm. You will get an answer as good as you get on your cell phone if you watch for it and I'd suggest you watch, you may be hit by a car today or ?????????

it is important to take gods judgement serious today and everyday. I think God is merciful and loving,but he is also a god who has boundaries and punishment for the ones tht do not get it. I live my life, not so much obsessing with god and heaven or hell. I know i am a sinner and i accept that. I also strive to do better. I know I have to answer to god on judgement day and I am ready to do that when the time comes.

I under no circumstances like those styles of absolutes. issues like this, being techniques are extra ideal left at a third guy or woman vantage element, to weigh all aspects and characteristic an observers opinion of what's happening interior the 2nd. yet for the main area, it truly is terrific just to word of what's occurring around you. It makes for a extra balanced character.

No, it's not. In fact, it's important to realize there are no gods, so no judgment.
Nobody has ever provided any evidence that any gods, much less a specific god, exist. People believe in specific gods because of indoctrination from an early age, tradition, hallucinations, fear of torture (for gods sadistic enough to threaten it) and other similarly illogical reasons. But no gods exist in reality; these are all stories, created for people who were scared of the world long before we understood it. Now we have no more reason for these superstitions.
