Secondly they think that the advantages they have over the manifestly degenerate, are tokens that they are on the right track and don’t need to be saved from God’s wrath.They misinterpret the kindness and forbearance of God towards them.

Opening salvo: Then what was the point of the Prodigal Son? Does not that story state that God's forbearance is infinite? (P.S.: I always saw things from the son who stayed home's perspective -- this is the time for theologians to discern God's Wrath from His Forgiveness).
