    Agreed.

    One of the problems with understanding the Bible is that someone split it into chapters and verses which don't (necessarily) exist in the original.

    Then we have search engines that make it easy to find a word, but as you said we don't look at the context.

    In some ways tools that should have made Bible study easier have just made us lazier.

    I don't think there was anything that was new to me in that part.

    Rod is interviewing Troy but that doesn't imply that he's endorsing everything he's saying.

    Let's say that 50% of verses about judgment are in some sense permissive rather than active. That doesn't mean that one can superimpose a permissive sense onto verses that, according to local context, aren't.

    Unless there is a verse or passage where God's judgments are defined universally to be permissive in nature. That would place the verses that apparently speak of active judgments in a different light.
