So, let me get this straight. If someone rejects God, then he responds vengefully?

and

God lets them sit on their filth
These are not acts of vengence. These are permissions of free will.

But you claim that an all-powerful, all-loving, omnipotent, all-wise God would eventually just think "ah, the heck with him". You infer that all[my emphasis] of our suffering is allowed by God because of us rejecting him
I don't think cat did this at all. She was referring to her original statement:
Quote:
I was torturing myself about how good of a person H was and this could've happen, was I really a sh*tty w? how could he had fallen so low, how did God allow that to happen?
No grand claims were made. These were loving comments to give an additional perspective to someone dealing with the bizarre behaviours of a spouse. Not a statement of doctrine. She began her post with:
Quote:
Frank, don't know if you've been doing this, but...
Her reference was spot-on IMHO. If this still upsets you I'd be happy to engage you in a different thread. I don't think that Franks sitch needs to be cluttered with discussions of personal theology. Unless he's into that kind of stuff ;).
