Bro. Eastman, that individual took what I said out of context. I haven't forgotten the mercies of God...but I am well aware of the reality of God's wrath.
Beware when they say "peace peace". The New Testament speaks of the "full cup" principle. In the book of Revelation the harlot is judged once the cup she carries is full of her sinfulness and debauchery. God judges nations and systems like this throughout the Old Testament. National and systemic sins are accumulative and unless a nation repents and comes clean over previous sin it adds to her cup until it is full and God's wrath overflows.
Sodom and Gomorrah are examples of exceptions, they are not the rule. Abraham personally negotiated with God so that if only 10 righteous were found in the cities God would spare them. HeavenlyOne takes this for granted as a universal principle...theologically speaking...it was an exception to the rule.
