Some of Paul's writings are hard to understand (2 Peter 3:15-16). We come across one of those here. "some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme" (1 Timothy 1:19-20; 1 Corinthians 5:5).
There seems to be at least two opposite ways God uses to bring people to himself. One is through pouring out his goodness (Romans 2:4) and the other through torment do Satan (see above verses).
As for me...I think I will yield to his goodness. What are you choosing (Deutoromony 30:19)?
