When men choose to reject the truth, God tends to withhold further truth from them. The result is spiritual and intellectual darkness.
Although there are times where God respects some while rejecting others, God’s acceptance of one and rejection of another is never a baseless respect.
The idea of the word respect is that an individual looks at two things and chooses to look at one of them a second time demonstrating favouritism.
Although no person is excluded from troubles, saints have historically understood that God extends mercy as He divvies out life’s trials.
Capital punishment is not confined to the Old Testament and is not done to the exclusion of God’s grace, but rather as an act of God’s just judgment.
