The world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever. The Lord is not slow to fulfil His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient towards you, not wishing that any should perish but that all should reach repentance. We repent or we will perish.
“Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked, declares the Lord GOD, and not rather that he should turn from his way and live?” Or do you presume on the riches of His kindness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?
Among churches and Christian groups, certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation—ungodly people who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
But God's firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: "The Lord knows those who are His," and "Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity."
“Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked, declares the Lord GOD, and not rather that he should turn from his way and live?”
Well, first, let’s just acknowledge that this guy is the Lord God of Israel, not of all humanity.
Secondly, the lord god of Israel does take pleasure in death and rape and the slaughter of children:
Isa 13:13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger. Isa 13:14 And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land. Isa 13:15 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword. Isa 13:16 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished. Isa 13:17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it. Isa 13:18 Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.
What makes you think that the Old Testament has ‘jack shit’ to do with Christ?
