Judgment is a vast area of study. My perspective is that God laid down principles to live by and in not doing so He has no say over man since free will steers the individual to apply or not apply these principles to live by. God laid out the plan of salvation and now it is up to us to decide. His grace to usward placed into effect doing away with the OT law. He loves us bountifully and extends His hand to us to be saved. Our decision to accept or not is judgment by our own hand. That I feel breaks God’s heart knowing salvation has been extended to us. It doesn’t anger Him. His plan is to restore fellowship. Not to bring down the hammer, so to speak, if we don’t accept.
About JimR, Chaplain
I'm a 75-year-old guy, in October 2025, who worked in Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune for 28 years and now retired as of 31 Dec 16. I've worked in medical records, the Health Benefits Department, Billing, and the IT department and retired as the Personnel Security Manager for the hospital. I'm a musician and Corvette enthusiast. Yes, I have had two. I traded my second Corvette for a Harley Davidson Fat Boy in mid-summer 2019. Then in 2024, I traded to an HD FreeWheeler FLRT. I've already ridden the new one a thousand miles in 6 weeks. I'm also searching for a fresh new outlook on life with new spiritual insight among other things. I was ordained a minister in 20190202. I've become certified with the American Chaplaincy Association through Aidan University in June '21. Presently, I am a volunteer Chaplain with our county Sheriff's Office. I've found that with the unconditional love of my companion, Libby Rowe life is complete through God. She's a beautiful, vibrant, giving woman who gives her all in everything she puts her mind to do. She and I married on 24 July 2015. She was ordained in February 2022. She has a blog too called Under a Carolina Moon. Give it a visit.
