Dear Mark;

Seasons greetings;

Please allow me to add my own slant on the issue you are discussing. If a person truly believes in Jesus then an adoption takes place. God literally becomes the Father of the individual. The Bible promises that if this occurs the Father takes on the role of disciplining His children.

Hebrews 12:6-8 FOR THOSE WHOM THE LORD LOVES HE DISCIPLINES, AND HE SCOURGES EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVES. It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.

We are told not to judge. I believe it is because we cannot possibly have enough information to judge anyone. However, if a person uses the name of the Lord and then acts in a manner which shames God, he promises to discipline them. I have experiened this and it is not fun. God's way in the end has led to greater happiness for me and therefore I understand that His discipline is best. I also know that a true child of God will could not resist a change of heart for long as it will lead to misery and difficulty in life. The truth of God's love means He will be a loving parent and he will raise loving children, He has taken the reponsibility on Himself.

Obviously this is a rather complicated and fascinating issue. I hope this has helped.

In Yeshua's love for you - DLL
