You: Then is it wishing to do what God would do and acting on it as much as humanly possible? Would, for instance, one wish to completely wipe out and entire town because he believed its inhabitants to be evil without exploring the possibility of education or non-corporal punishment*? Would a person, admitting that he could not hope to be as thorough as God, be justified in merely killing as many people as possible before being killed himself?

Aaron: Let me simply say that a good person wishes for justice, and God's justice is supreme. If you are speaking about the story of Lot, then I would say that Justice was served on that day, but it would not have been served if Lot had seen fit to take matters into his own hands.

How do you respond?

  1. I don't call that justice. Go
  2. Then I do not wish for justice. Go

*Genesis 19:24-25 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven; And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
