Committing homosexual acts may lead to God killing you.

I'll just finish by saying that I recognize that ever since Jesus died on the cross things have changed. I think that as sins have become more and more evil God's grace has increased with them. We will all face judgement but we cannot correlate tragedies to God's will. It is men at work in a sinful world, and a world groaning for the return of Christ that sees tragedies take place. When Herod killed all the first born boys, it was his own doing not God's. Although God knew he would do it, that doesn't mean God was culpable for the crime. We put our hope in God, we don't put our fear (phobos) in him. I think this debate has reminded us that God is worth fearing (yirah) and respecting. This is something that perhaps is lost on many Christians and needs to be reaffirmed. God is supreme and we should fear Him because there's still the possibility that he could take one of us out like He did with Ananias and Sapphira, or Herod (eaten by worms). I take this as a reminder to be more reverent to God and recognize that He can kill if He desires. At the same time I recognize that the NT is not full of people being struck down, whether they were Christian or Jew, whether they were searching or lost. There's a trend that He's not doing it in the New Testament like he did it in the old. Your title argument is "Committing homosexual acts MAY lead to God killing you." That has to be the biggest MAY in history. Because while it is in God's power to do so He does not. So I agree that yes God MAY kill someone but I'd argue that the power to do is constrained by Jesus. "For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom He wishes." John 5:22 The reason God isn't striking everyone down left right and center is because Jesus loves us so much. "And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man." Jesus is the one who executes Judgement now. "Then Jesus declared, "For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind may see and those who see may become blind." (John 9:39) At this time, while we are alive, His judgement is not to scold people, but to open their eyes to God. "Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment to the Son." (John 5:22) The reason Jesus will judge is because he lived as a man. He faced temptations as a man. So he can judge from a perspective of a man, with empathy and authority. So he knows what a gay man goes through. He understands. So God has put off judging the world like he used to, and has entrusted it to His son. Isn't that awesome! I think the main thing we can take away from this is that God is real and powerful. He can kill people, but does it rightly. I see that individual homosexual acts, while grave as they are, are not being taken out like Herod or Annais and Sappharia were. It leads me to conclude that its Jesus authority to now judge. The evidence indicates that homosexual acts done today do not tip the scales enough to see God take an individual out as you've described. Thank you for the chance to debate. You've helped me appreciate God's omnipotence and prompted me to do research around Jesus's role in judgement. I think you did well on your side of the debate. You've changed my mind a little on God's power to enact justice today. So thank you.
