The god who burns people alive for eternity

The term you invented, "waffle," amounts to criticizing someone for writing too much.

A term I "invented"? What's the matter with you?

It also means, to British English speakers, writing or saying stuff that is irrelevant or stuff that tries to disguise the fact you've got nothing much to say.

What do mean nothing about her could be real? Read again what I wrote about her. There are millions of such people:

'Little old lady, spent her life caring for others, never knowingly hurt anybody. Always tried her best to be a decent human being. Doesn't believe in any God.'

You think that the world is full of completely righteous people before God, or even man, or even ourselves? I addressed this already.

The punishment will fit the crime?!?!

Eternal torment in hell fits the 'crime' of rejecting God?

Wow.

You want to avoid who created you for the reason your here. That is on you.

Where did I speak of 'completely righteous people?!'

Why are you ignoring the actual example given? - Address that. Does such a typical human being deserve eternal torment? (At least sonship recognized the difficulty of the question).

It takes but one sin and how many do you think occur before breakfast? Earlier you said that you didn’t recognize the scriptures as any authority, if God differs with any and all who share that view the number of sinners increases don’t you think? You cross into another country you become subject to that country’s laws regardless of your opinions of them. The Lord is God overall!

'Any' God who expects nothing short of perfection from His creation, and eternally punishes those who fall short is unworthy of His divine status.

Or and this is where I fall out, God who can make His creation perfect by sharing His nature with it is worthy of all of our praise!

The unworthy are those who come up short from what is required!

Put it in a human context. Would you praise an all-powerful king who burned his subjects alive if he deemed them unworthy?

His subjects are not who get burned but those that refuse Him after He gave all to redeem them.

Is it ok for him to burn them?

Evil is going to be burned, and it is His Kingdom!

People who are not perfect are evil? Is that really what you believe Kelly?

Good and righteousness is the scale, God’s Holy nature that is the scale. Falling away from truth is not almost truth it is error, you getting a glimpse of our need? God is good not some of the time all of the time, He by His righteous nature has to deal with sin, wickedness, evil there are no options! Our salvation is due to His love not our need or we are such a worthy prize!

Would you appreciate a King who didn't punish evil doers?
