Fod a monster.........
Satan is the only one that ries to turn GOD into a monster. As well as those that chose not to worship HIM because they are conforterble in thei sin. THE WORD OF GOD is availible for all to read on just about all levels of understanding. Thost that choose to open THE WORD, for themselves will come to that knowledge. Even here with the passing back and forth ot the Scriptures as we have been doing. Whether or not we agree or not everyone that has a copy of THE WORD OF GOD, should if they choose search out the Turth for themselves. those that know that the truth and continue to live in sin know the penalty.
love and mercy..........
The GOD that I serve is filled with Love and mercy. All that come to know HIM, come to see that they are sinners. They come to see that before they came to the Salvation that JESUS CHRIST offers, they were on a road that led to sin. They come to know that sin is not pleasing to GOD. Worship and obeying HIM is what is pleasing to HIM. But they also come to know that all those that sin, refuse to obey HIM, and all those that chose not to accept the Salvation offered by JESUS CHRIST, will pay a price. The price of eternal punishment.

have no idea....................
I know full well and understand all that GOD has given me to understand. I know that I have to live up to the standards of the understanding that I have recieved. I know for a fact that you cannot just say THE WORD, you have to live it. AreYou living in the way that JESUS CHRIST taught. Have you committed yourself to living as GOD Wants. Are you living THE WORD OF GOD, in such a way that is pleasing to GOD. If you are not there should be fear in your life. Fear of everlasting punisment.
ROMANS 6:1-23
wrong way......
I have no Idea what god you serve. I do have an idea that it is not the GOD of THE BIBLE. Oh sure you know and can find some Scriptures, that do more to prove that THE WORD OF GOD, stands on its own, and less that you believe it or follow it.
MATTHEW 4:1-11
1 TIMOTHY 2:3,4.........
Yes GOD wants all of mankind to come to know and accept The Truth of JESUS CHRIST. Yes GOD wants all men to be saved. No GOD did not create hell for mankind. But man choses not to believe. Mankind choses to disobey GOD. Mankind choses not to accept the Salvation that is offered by JESUS CHRIST. And there is a cost to pay for rejecting GOD.
MATTHEW 25:31-46
REVELATIONS 12:9,10
ROMANS 14:11............
When you read ROMANS 14:11, you should have read verse 12 '' So then every one of us shall give account to God".
Yes all mankind will come before God and Worship HIM, both believers and non-believers. As well as satan and his army, will come and worship GOD. And then we have to give '' an account of ourselves". Would that not mean the judgement. You seem to think that the unbelievers are going to be rewarded or blessed for their disbelief. THE WORD says different.
ROMANS 3:1-18
HEBREWS 3:7-19
PSALMS 65:2..........
Yes all flesh is comming to worship before THE LORD. When we all finish some go off to everlasting life others to everlasting punishment.
2 THESSALONIANS 1:8-10
PSALMS 64:9............
Try reading all of PSALMS 64.
in the end.................
All that are punished for eternity
Try reading 2 PETER 3;1-18
You and others seem to think that hell or everlasting punishment is not forever. I donot think that GOD is going to give satan and his angels a second chance. Nor do I think GOD is going to give those a chance at Salvation and rejected it, a chance to reject HIM again. When the War between Good and Evil is over, the only ones that are lef standing are those that Love THE LORD. Love THE LORD through JESUS CHRIST. If you reject HIM. You reject your chance at Eternal life. Eternal means Eternal does it not.
