Ultimately, God is the One who will right all wrongs. Vengeance is lawlessness because it does not recognize the lawful and righteousness execution of God’s judgment which He will bring about in His time. In other words, vengeance amounts to being impatient with God. You must remember that wrongs cannot always be righted immediately.

Lou Priolo

Lou Priolo (1954–2023) war ein US-amerikanischer evangelikaler Seelsorger, Dozent und Autor, der in Gemeinden und Schulungsorganisationen tätig war. Er wurde vor allem durch praxisorientierte Ratgeber zu Ehe, Erziehung und Konfliktbewältigung bekannt, in denen er die alleinige Suffizienz der Bibel betonte und säkulare Psychologie ablehnte. Heutigen Bibellesern bietet er strukturierte Anleitungen zur biblischen Lebensführung, steht jedoch wegen seiner restriktiven Haltung zu Scheidung und des Ausschlusses psychologischer Erkenntnisse in der Kritik.
