本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛In order to understand this, you have to put yourself in my shoes for a bit, (I will try to be concise.)
1. How evil is more evil than others? Killing one or killing millions?
None of them is more severe than the other in terms that they are all evil to God, and the penalty is of the same if both parties don't repent. And of course killing of millions sounds much more terrible than killing of one, upon contemporary moral standards or laws.
2. Who is innocent?
Are killers innocent, not very likely. Are those killed? Paul has spoken, "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23)". In a word, we are not innocent.
3. Is it fair?
Well, is any piece of law fair, to everybody? I don't think so. That's part of the reasons why I believe in God, in his perfect righteousness and judgement.
4. Again, is it really fair?
God knows our hearts, I don't. So I am not going to pretend I do. There are a lot of things we don't understand, there are also a lot of things we don't need to understand, at least for the time being. When a Christian's relationship with God becomes stronger, he/she will understand better. The same way if one talks to one's father more, one will have a better chance to understand the father and his ways.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
