- Paul persecuted many Christians.
- Yet God arrested him, forgive his sins and Paul became the leading Apostle of Christ.
- It seems that though God forgives sinners when they repent, they still have to be punished in some way for past misdeeds.
- In the passage above, Acts 14:19 Paul was practically stoned dead for preaching Jesus, but revived by his colleagues.
- Was the stoning of Paul and other troubles he faced later while serving Christ, a punishment for his past ‘forgiven’ misdeeds?
- God no doubt forgives sins, but retributive justice may still take his course.
