Now this does not mean that God as our Father will not spank us as His dearly loved children, for those He loves He chastises, so sayeth the scriptures the word of truth (1 Corinthians 11:23-34, esp 30-32)...
Also in John 8:51) Surely Surely, if a man keeps My Sayings (Believes them and does them) he shall never see death (Meaning Satans eternal sentence of spiritual death and everlasting separation from God in hells continuous flow and eternal sorrows.
The Cross of Christ does not save us (GODS PEOPLE) from the spankings of the Lord, or from the rod or the whip of the Lord, for we as His children, God reserves His Fatherhood right, being the best loving Father of all, to chastise and to spank us temporarily in this life for our disobeying Him and to reward us for our obedience. But the Cross of Christ does save Gods children from the eternal condemnation of the world when the world is thrown into hell and later into the lake of fire for their unbelief and unfaithfulness. If you understand this light you then will better understand God and grace and the great adoption of us as His sons and daughters in Christ Jesus (Revelations 12:5-11).....share freely.....deno.
