To be honest, Charles, I ask questions because I know not the answers. I think Spurgeon's take on the subject is about right, but it is a very deep and difficult matter. If anyone asks me questions about individual circumstances, I tell them I don't know the answer, because I don't. Sometimes it is better not to try to give an answer than give an answer which may actually be incorrect.

John UK wrote:
But Charles, that then begs the question, "Why the judgment?" If it is due to the antics of the ungodly, then the godly should not be affected.

I think not, indeed there are many of the lost who live better than me, i am more deserving of Gods wrath than they are (by human wisdom)

we know many of the saints who have died or suffered badly - i think this evidence shows we are not to presume on Gods mercy by thinking we shall be spared calamity because we believe

John UK wrote:
Wow! Maybe these Calvinists are loving, not doctrinaire, nor legalistic. Now that would be good, even biblical.

John UK wrote:
Or do you think that because we all 'deserve' God's wrath, he is at liberty to produce disasters anywhere he likes, whenever he likes, and without discriminating between his people and the ungodly?

amos 3
When a trumpet sounds in a city,
do not the people tremble?
When disaster comes to a city,
has not the LORD caused it

amos4

I gave you empty stomachs in every city and lack of bread in every town, yet you have not returned to me,"
declares the LORD.

I also withheld rain from you when the harvest was still three months away.
I sent rain on one town,
but withheld it from another.
One field had rain;
another had none and dried up

I sent plagues among you
as I did to Egypt. I killed your young men with the sword, along with your captured horses

Therefore this is what I will do to you, Israel, and because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel

Rejoice NOT when thine enemy falleth, .....I am quite sure we are not to gloat when the wicked die in their sins

because you have a high opinion of yourself you are blind to the meaning of the text which you have presumably posted apropos my own.

your own vanity in this regard has caused you to stumble

observe: Rejoice NOT when thine enemy falleth

(sanctimonius upper case is yours )

That reads YOUR enemy - ok ? Your enemy (worm) is NOT neccessarily Gods enemy.

Because you are a believer does not mean that God is obliged or even inclined to take up your case, He is no respecter of persons.

It is legitamate and biblical to rejoice in Gods judgements if we can discern Gods providence in events. Simple tests can be applied - try the ten commandments for one

ergo

''hooray and amen ! - kellerman is dead and in hell - God is glorified, he has avenged himself upon the unrighteous''

is a simple correct and obvious theological statement, Kellerman a stranger to me is not MY enemy he is GODS enemy and God has dealt with him

Charles,
I am glad that you are a regular poster. You contribute a lot to these boards.

The day is coming soon for all of us when all things will be revealed and nothing will be concealed, dying time is truth time and nothing here on earth will be of the slightest use then so why cleave to the earthly values ?

The things unseen are eternal but the heavans and the earth will pass away what a disaster for billions of people

I dont gloat on Gods judgements that is dangerous territory, but i dont dispute them either.

He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me." (Matthew 10:37)

Help. . someone has abducted the real Prince Charles and stolen his moniker.

i think i am consistent and i am only quoting the relevant Bible verses ?

you can check my posts

we all have friends and relatives that dont believe and the reason they dont believe is because 'men through unrighteousness suppress the knowlege of God' we believe because Jesus has chosen to reveal Himself to us, for which I am very grateful, I am not going to ask why he should choose me and pass by others or criticise Him for doing so I am sure there is a good reason

i had a massive row with an important relative a little over a year ago because they wouldnt stop cursing God in my house and when i asked them to stop they said they werent and called me a liar !

I have a new family now, I have been adopted by God Himself, I have changed sides in the futile war against God I am no longer part of that rebellion and I am grateful for it.

So, there is no rejoicing when these unredeemed (wicked) die. I can extend that to any who die in a lost condition.

There is no good reason to reject the gospel 'them that believe not are damned already' (jesus said )

deuteronomy 32
Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?
To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.

CLT :''No - Jesus DID NOT CAUSE the man to commit suicide. The sovereignty of God does not mean that he causes one to sin.''

PAUL And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge,
(freddie mac ) God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient (suicide) Romans 1:28

Thats exactly what it DOES mean

Charles,
Your zeal should be tempered with love. Let your speech be with grace, seasoned as it were with salt.
P.S. I just viewed a Youtube series on the life of Keith Green - 7 parts. Have you seen that? He had zeal much like yours, and he could be abrasive, but God changed him. Excellent.

'We are not to rejoice in iniquity, but to rejoice in the truth'

Im not, unless you think that Gods judgement is iniquity - why mourn the passing of the wicked ?

'Death and hell should be sobering, and not a cause for rejoicing'

This is Gods treasure held in store (deut 32)

'We should have the mind of Christ in these matters. What would be His response?'
