I am just curious to know..
Actually do christians believe in retribution? Any christians here
mind sharing.
Retribution here refers to say for example, a christian saw an
opportunity to steal $200 and so he steals $200 without getting
caught. He just steals once only because after that there was no
more opportunity to steal anymore money. He does not repent after
that and if there are still opportunities in future for him to
steal money, he will still do it.
Will GOD actually punish him in some ways that he deem fit? It need
not necessary be GOD in some ways makes his stealing come to light
and than he gets punished for it.
It can be in some other indirect ways of punishment such as now he
steals $200 than GOD will 1 day let someone steal back money from
him, say $200 or even more amount than that to punish him. Or maybe
GOD will let someone cheat him of his money maybe with an amount
even more than $200 to punish him.
