gladwyn charles Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Q1a. If God calls His people to be righteous how can he then destroy the same righteous people with those who are unrighteous. God is a just God Judge of all the earth therefore in His judgment there must be Just Justice from him Q1b. This is in keeping with God's character since God is long suffering and merciful and has no tolerance for sin.Yet in his character attributes are just justice of rewards for the righteous and punishment for the disobedience sinners.

How does it relate to God's character? The basis of Abraham's argument for God to spare Sodom is that there are righteous people in Sodom. Abraham also asks God, "will you destroy the righteous with the wicked?" This relates to God's character that He is a just God. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does it relate to God's character? 1. If God was expecting Abraham to raise his descendants in what is just and right, then so would God also behave in like manner. 2. Abraham knew God intimately - that his character was just and righteous, he would not destroy the righteous with the wicked, but be a compassionate and merciful judge.

Lisa Wolf Posted February 20, 2023 Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 Q1. What is the basis of Abraham's argument that God should spare Sodom? How does it relate to God's character? In Genesis 18:25 Abraham says to God, "Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?” This is the basis of Abraham"s argument that God should spare Sodom. It relates to GOD's character because GOD IS the Judge of all the earth. Abraham knows this and appeals to Him. He has seen God offer mercy--for example when Abraham saved Lot from the kings that had attacked him. He knows God's character is Righteous and appeals to this aspect of His character as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
