See, He left home so you could find home. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Thessalonians%202:9-12&version=NIV 2009-10-05T16:48:07-05:00 Paul tells the Thessalonians that those who actively refuse the truth are being sent a delusion by God in order to make sure they are fully condemned. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2029.18&version=KJV 2009-08-04T17:09:32-05:00 Proverbs says that a people without vision will perish; yet, those that keep the law will be happy. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2Pet.3.9-10&version=NIV 2009-07-20T14:48:21-05:00 It's not God's will that anyone perish. In fact, according to this passage, the apparently delay before Jesus returns is due to God's patience with us: He is waiting to make sure that everyone has a chance to be saved. If you find yourself impatient with God, consider it is actually God who is being patient with us.
