Interesting how you use that verse to slam others into allowing what you say. Strong meat is true! Strong meat is not fanciful imaginings like a lot of what you push. You hit me with that verse a few times when I challenged what you said.
@Bendito
Joh 6:60 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said,
This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also just because I you does not mean I cannot others. What is between us should not be monopolized.
Mat 3:15 And Jesus answering said unto him,
Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rev 3:19
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

Being good may require punishing the bad or visiting the bad with evil.
Any parent or Teacher or Master or Instructor or Sensei or Commander or Lord or any person of Authority should know this.
I cited three scriptures and gave context however the only thing
@KingJ seemed to have saw was Isaiah 45:7
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heb 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Essentially someone who is well versed or mature in scripture and precepts should be able discern what is being said and whether it is good or evil.

Partial to the righteous; merciful to the repentant wicked
I suspect. In my opinion is all about context and fluidity pertaining the scriptures.
It can be good to punish those that are not good so they may learn, repent,etc.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these
things.
Luke 18:19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none
is good, save one,
that is, God.
At the same time non partial to infractions concerning his word.
Genesis 4:7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee
shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Essentially since God is good both the light and the dark will be used for good purposes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I cite a scripture showing that God is a jealous God will I be mocked next?
Those of discernment will know the context.
