Firstly, I think the whole distinction between "God'sThose who are not God's children deserve punishment for their wrongdoing, they do not reform and they rebel against Him till their deaths
children" and "not God's children" is a false one. All
creation is His children in the truest sense of the term,
even more so than my kids are mine.
Secondly, the idea that punishment for wrongdoing is
strictly reserved for those who are "not God's children"
seems off, biblically, given the following verses:
Proverbs 3:12: the LORD disciplines those he
loves, as a father the son he delights in.
Hebrews 12:6: For whom the Lord loves he
chastens, and whips every son whom he
receives.
Revelation 3:19: As many as I love, I rebuke
and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Deuteronomy 8:5: You shall also consider in
your heart, that, as a man chastens his son, so
the LORD your God chastens you.
Psalm 94:12: Blessed is the man whom you
chasten, O LORD, and teach him out of your law;
Proverbs 13:24: He that spares his rod hates his
son: but he that loves him chastens him betimes.
loves, as a father the son he delights in.
Hebrews 12:6: For whom the Lord loves he
chastens, and whips every son whom he
receives.
Revelation 3:19: As many as I love, I rebuke
and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Deuteronomy 8:5: You shall also consider in
your heart, that, as a man chastens his son, so
the LORD your God chastens you.
Psalm 94:12: Blessed is the man whom you
chasten, O LORD, and teach him out of your law;
Proverbs 13:24: He that spares his rod hates his
son: but he that loves him chastens him betimes.
Personally, I think that the rain falls on everyone
regardless of which club they sign up with, but there it
is. As far as God's love goes, no one is left out, and
as far as the challenges this world provides (what
might otherwise be classified as "punishment" -- though I
seriously doubt that it is; karma maybe), again, no one
is left out.
