SIMPLIFYING the Day of God's Wrath

"Everyone who understands that there is a difference between right

and wrong, between righteousness and wickedness, and that there is a judgment day when God will reward men according to their deeds, must believe that there is a punishment for the wicked as well as a reward for the righteous. This cannot really be disputed by anyone who believes in the Bible as the inspired word of God.

---Sin is something found only in connection with beings possessed of free moral agency and free will. 

---The germs of sin can thrive only as they burrow deep into the very mind and heart. 

---Thus the destruction of sin necessitates the destruction of those who are determined to hold on to sin.

And, to be clear, God does not take any pleasure in the death of the wicked. (For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies,” says the Lord God. “Therefore turn and live!” Ezekiel 18:32 NKJV)."
