    Punishments come from man. Consequences come from God.

    punishment is negative consequence for a negative action, a consequence is something that occurs in response to a previous action. For example, I study and a consequence of that could be me getting good grades, or it could be me losing time that I could spend with my friends. That's the general gist of it, but it can get a lot deeper when you look at positive and negative reinforcement and punishment

    it is better to know consequences thn punishment once you know consequences you might never face punishment so in short consequence is a question and punishment is a answer

    Consequence is a result of actions
    Punishment is a negative consequence of actions

    A punishment is what children are given when they do something wrong.

    Consequences can be more like what could naturally occur when you make a mistake.
