AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH

What I've always found fascinating about those that believe that God is only gracious now in the New Testament and that they believe that no judgment occurs and that God never judges, is that, one, there are quite a few instances of judgment, both of the Church and of the world under the New Covenant, and I've never heard anyone be able to explain away why they occurred (and never even enter into a discussion about it). And secondly, they easily and readily it seems, forget that the tribulation period that is described in the New Testament DOESN'T SEE A NEW COVENANT ESTABLISHED, in other words, everyone is still ONLY SAVED BY GRACE, that is, by faith in Jesus Christ, and yet God is still very justified in pouring out His wrath at that time as well. Christians it seems, very conveniently, just like to think that grace ends at the point of time when God will pour out His wrath, but this cannot be, otherwise no one from that time forth could be saved. Plus Romans tells us that even at the present time, God's wrath is being revealed from heaven (Rom 1v8).
