Religious poll, do you think God punishes humans today, or in the future, or not at all.
Thank you in advance for your replies.
@ Lefty A team...apologies neighbor, I refer to the God of the bible, as represented by Jesus Christ.

yesmar, God { Christ Jesus } is the final judge of us all. But he does no dole out punishment here on earth, we punish ourselves when we live in rebellion to his word. But when Jesus returns as he tells us in scriptures, one of which is Revelation 1:8 " I am the Alpha and the Omega says the Lord God. Who is, who was and who is to Come the Almighty." At this time we all will be judged. Paul tells us in his letter to the Church in Rome; Romans 6:23 " The wages of sin is death but the {gift} of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

don't be afraid. God isn't out to get you. he's no longer gonna deliver the airplane crashing to the floor. bypass to God, it is risk-free. it is high-quality. Jesus took the punishment for you already. purely tell God you sinned and as quickly as you do, he will forgive you. I John a million:9 If we confess our sins, he's honest and easily to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. I Thessalonians 5:9 For God hath no longer appointed us to wrath, yet to receive salvation by using our Lord Jesus Christ, Romans 8:a million there is hence now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, who walk no longer after the flesh, yet after the Spirit. God loves you better than you could ever think of. it's going to be ok. he's no longer this massive propose vicious psycho in the sky no count how lots the Atheists opt to have faith it.

he disciplines us Heb. 12:7- Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? 8 If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all. 9 Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live! 10 They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness. 11 No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

Yes, there are consequences for our actions and choices . (Thankfully, there are positive consequences for positive choices!) Scripture says that He also avenges and that vengeance is His. That's a form of punishment as well. Scripture also says that God chastens those He loves. God does everything for a reason. Because He is love, that's the basis of everything He does. Sometimes, the consequences teach about lack of love. (attitudes)
