What's the difference between the so called covenant curses we recieve for breaking the covenant and the Fatherly chastisement we receive as sons when we sin?
 
One is done because God hates us, the other because he loves us. The "us" depends on who we are - saved or lost.

Personally, I feel as though I'm under God's thumb right now and it is sometimes difficult to discern the "why" or even relate it to "Fatherliness". For fickle Christian human beings chastisement seems just as bad a cursing in many ways. We have to cognitively discern, based on biblical standards, the difference because our emotions can often get the best of us.
 
I would. But to a certain extent the reprobate may

Hebrews 6:4-6
be enlightened

tasted the heavenly gift

be partakers of the Holy Spirit

taste the good word of God

taste the powers of the age to come

They can expereicne "good things" in the covenant community.
