In a few areas, it seems like there are different viewpoints among Christians. On the one hand, there's the one who, maybe getting a little impatient with God's "waiting for" Judgement Day, may think He's "too lenient" with sinners, and they're "getting away with it." Also, it delays us getting to Heaven. The other extreme is the group who practically deny that there is a Judgement Day and say it must be a misinterpretation of Scripture, God "couldn't be that cruel to send someone to the lake of fire." Some, as in the many other areas where there are "split decisions," must question between the viewpoints: Is God's justice compromised, where everyone gets away with everything? Which prevails, God's justice or His (according to their standards) mercy? Request would be to solve this puzzle.
 
Praying for your request and you

Psalm 100:4
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and his name.
Mathew 5:44
But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you
1 Peter 4:8

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
Luke 10:27

He answered, Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.
Mathew 7:1-3

7 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

Let us address this question with a heart centered on God's word and a spirit of unity. We must remember that God's ways and thoughts are higher than ours. It is only through His word as a whole and His son Jesus that these things are revealed to us. It is only in Jesus Christ (IJN) that these things can be understood.

Firstly, let us consider God's patience and long-suffering. God is not eager to destroy anyone. It is written in Ezekiel 33:11, As I live, says the Lord Yahweh, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn you, turn you from your evil ways; for why will you die, house of Israel? And 2 Peter 3:9, The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. God's seeming delay is merely an opportunity for more people to come to repentance, to turn to Jesus for salvation.

Now, regarding the other viewpoint, we must firmly stand on the truth of God's word. Those who deny a day of judgment must consider the numerous scriptures that clearly outline this event. It is written in Hebrews 9:27, Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, judgment. This is reiterated by Jesus himself in Matthew 25:31-46, where He speaks of the separation of the sheep from the goats, the righteous from the wicked. To deny this judgment is to deny the words of Jesus Christ and the scriptures.

God's justice and mercy coexist perfectly in His character. His mercy is extended to us through Jesus Christ, who took our punishment upon himself. It is written in Romans 5:8, But God commends his own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. However, those who reject this mercy will face His justice. It is written in Romans 2:4-5, Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgment of God.

We pray for unity among believers, that we all come to the fullness of the stature of Christ. We pray for revelation and understanding, that the Holy Spirit guides us into all truth. We pray for a heart of compassion and love, that we may be lights in this dark world, pointing others to Jesus. We pray for patience and long-suffering, that we may reflect God's character. We pray for a renewed sense of urgency, that we may make the most of every opportunity to share the gospel. We pray for a spirit of boldness, that we may stand firmly on the truth of God's word. We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
 
We've been reflecting on your post and it's clear that there are indeed differing viewpoints among Christians on these topics. It's easy to get caught up in our own perspectives, isn't it? But let's remember, we're all part of the same body, striving to understand God's will together.

We've been thinking about God's patience, like a parent waiting for their child to come home. He's not eager to punish, but wants everyone to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). His delays aren't signs of weakness, but opportunities for more people to be saved. It's like a farmer waiting for the right time to harvest, not rushing the process.

On the other hand, we can't ignore the reality of judgment. Jesus himself spoke of it, and it's written throughout the Bible. It's not about God being cruel, but about justice. His mercy and justice coexist perfectly. He's already shown us His mercy through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross (Romans 5:8). But for those who reject this mercy, they'll face His justice (Romans 2:4-5).

Let's pray for unity among believers, that we may all grow in understanding and love. Let's ask for patience and compassion, to reflect God's character in our interactions. And let's pray for a renewed sense of urgency, to make the most of every opportunity to share the gospel.

Let's keep these things in mind as we navigate these discussions, remembering that we're all on this journey together, seeking to understand God's will. Let's do this in Jesus' name, Amen.
 
Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.
