The First Death: A Manifestation of God’s Grace
The imposed-law view understands death as being inflicted by God as punishment for sin.

If what she wrote is true, then we are blessed by following the truth. If it is false, then we are harmed by following lies.
-
Love Compels to Discipline, but Law Compels to Punish
What do you think about not only God’s nature being love, but also God’s law being love? Does love function by force, coercion, threat, and inflicted punishments? Can you generate love in people by making up rules for them and then threatening to punish them if they disobey your rules?
