Jonah 4:8 God is a Divine Enabler

Published: Nov. 23, 2017, 4 p.m.

At a conference I attended a while back, I mentioned in passing to someone that I do not believe that God punished people for their sin. The person I was talking to looked at me like I had lost my mind.
\n
\n\u201cIf God doesn\u2019t punish people for their sin,\u201d he said, \u201cthen God is just an enabler, letting people get away with their sin.\u201d The man thought I was going to back peddle from my position, but I didn\u2019t. The truth is that I do believe God is a divine enabler. He is the biggest enabler the universe has ever seen.
\n
\nIt\u2019s a challenging idea, I know, but it is what we are seeing here in Jonah, which somewhat explains Jonah\u2019s frustration with God. This is what we discuss in this study of Jonah 4:8.
