“God is love [agape]” (1Jn 4:8,16)
” God of perfect peace, violence and cruelty can have no part with you.”
(Mass for Peace and Justice, collect #2, Roman Catholic Sacramentay of the MIssale Romanum,1985)
Biblical judgment means that in time and in eternity we are punished by our sins, not punished for them. All sin, whether by word or deed, carries within it the power not only to harm others, both its intended person and unintended, perhaps even unknown, persons, but also to eventually execute judgment on its perpetrator. Gospel Nonviolent Love of all, always is about not sinning against others, not harming others by word or by deed—and not doing violence to, not violating, not harming, oneself. The Heavenly Father’s will, proclaims Jesus, wants none of His sons or daughter ever doing violence to, ever harming others, or self.
