If is certainly incougruent to watch you write about righteousness, justice and lovingkindness from your version of god, when he will be spectating in hell with his angels as he oversees the screams of the flesh-melting eternal carnage he has created.
Well, as much as you try you cannot erase the fact that SOMETIMES in the Bible, God apparently would not let His people be exploited by the Devil because of their natural inclination
of pity.
In your next post to me explain these for passages where the God whose mercy endures forever tells the Israelites that on THESE occasions, they are not to be overcome with pity.
"And you shall devour all the peoples which Jehovah your God is giving you; your eye shall not pity them ..." (Deut. 7:16a)
"And your eye shall not pity; a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, a foot for a foot." (Duet. 19:21)
"You shall not yield to him nor listen to him, nor shall your eye pity him, neither shall you spare him or conceal him," (Duet. 13:8)
" ... then you shall cut off her hand; your eye shall not pity her." (Duet. 25:12)
In these instances, God will not allow human pity to occasion sin to go unjudged.
It appears that the Devil is so subtle that he could gain the advantage of God's saints by exploiting their sense of natural pity on some occasions.
While you speak of my "version" of God, keep in mind that this is the very same Yahweh / Jehovah of whom Psalm 136 repeatedly says that " His mercy endures forever" about twenty six times.
Do you agree?
Do you agree that it is speaking about the same God, divegeester.

You’re the one with the dilemma about the “same god” having eternal mercy while at the same time having eternal suffering in hell while he watches it all.
No, You're the one that has to evade the issue.
I am the one who takes to heart - the kindness AND severity of God.
"Behold then the kindness and severity of God ..." (Rom. 11:21a)
You're the one with the myopic vision which only wants to see one side of God - His kindness, but deny His severity.
That's your lopsided bias.
The onus is on you to explain the your dilemma your doctrine, not me.
Nope. You evade the onus which is on YOU.
Does God on these occasions tell His saints that they should not circumvent His judgment because of pity?
Are those verses about the same God as is spoken of in Psalm 136? YOUR onus.

Nice try at deflecting sonship, but not good enough.
Not so nice try on your part to conceal your dilemma.
Psalms and Deuteronomy are about the same God.
Sorry.
You believe in a god who has eternal mercy,
Some beings refuse any mercy.
Some beings refuse to acknowledge that there is need of it.
but this Jesus who has this mercy will be standing in an eternal hell watching billions of people being burnt while HE personally supernaturally keeps them alive.
You are still evading that on occasion God told His saints that their eye should not pity.
"... your eye shall not pity them ..." (Deut. 7:16a)
"And your eye shall not pity; ... " (Duet. 19:21)
" ... nor shall your eye pity him, neither shall you spare him or conceal him," (Duet. 13:8)
" ... your eye shall not pity her." (Duet. 25:12)
Do you think by giving me the big evasive "SHHHH!" the passages will go away?
So produce then textural evidence that Psalm 136 is authentic but Deuteronomy 7:19; 13:8; 19:21; 25:12 were shoe horned in latter by mean people.
Can't do it, can you?
Well, opt for deflecting instead.
Work on your pity evoking special effects harder.

It sound that way to me, too. I bet a believer will explain this away using translational gymnastics or similar.
33 "O the depth of God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How unsearchable his judgments are and beyond tracing out his ways are!"
"Read your bible."
