34:6 And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, "The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, 34:7 maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation."

5. Can you become a Christian after you die?
2 Peter 2:4-6, 9 "For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment; 2:5 if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others; 2:6 if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; 2:7 and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men 2:8 (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard) -2:9 if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment."

I see that in every way you are very religious. 17:23 For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: to an unknown god. Now what you worship as something unknown I am going to proclaim to you. 17:30 In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.17:31 For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed.

11. Is Jesus God or man?
John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 1:2 He was with God in the beginning. 1:3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 1:4 In him was life, and that life was the light of men."
Hebrews 4:14-16 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are - yet was without sin.4:16 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 16:8 When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment: 16:9 in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me; 16:10 in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; 16:11 and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned. 16:12 "I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. 16:13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 16:14 He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you. 16:15 All that belongs to the Father is mine.

11:11 "Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?
11:12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

You ought to live holy and godly lives 3:12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming.

Hebrews 10:
35 So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. 36 You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. 37 For in just a very little while, "He who is coming will come and will not delay. 38 But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him." 39 But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.
