According to the theology, what is thought to be Jesus' emotion as He watches the people being tormented in burning fire?

What part of His character makes Him need to be watching it?

Again, why the need for torment?

If you don't know, just say so.
It's not a question of need. It's a matter of consequence.

I think it is a moral matter and a moral question.

What is the moral justification for the punishment being torture?
Being in hell is torment. The moral justification is because it is God's judgment.

God is justified in pouring out His wrath on a Christ rejecting world because of who and what He is.

ALL are saved.
ALL.
Believers, and non believers.
That's not what the Bible says.

Was Jesus tormented in hell? Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. (Acts 2:27 KJV)

I take responsibility for everything I post.
Yet you don't believe that after this life is over that you will be held accountable for everything you ever thought, said and did.

God keeps records. But you don't believe that's true.

That's not what the Bible says.
All are saved by the death and resurrection of Christ.
The bible says that.
All do not get eternal life.
The bible says that too.
Therefore saved DOES NOT MEAN eternal life.

Saved means that Jesus paid the price for mans sins.
Man in return has to obey and live righteously.
THEN and ONLY THEN is there eternal life.

And my stance on the source, nature and application of morality, and what happens when people disagree about moral questions, has not changed since we discussed it on those previous three or more occasions.
And your "stance" is predicated on the experience of your existence in a material world.

By denying the existence of the supernatural/spiritual components of life you've created a void in your understanding.

'Hell is hell', 'It's real because it's real', 'people are tormented because they are tormented', 'It lasts forever because it lasts forever', and all this is because 'It is because it is'. Got it.
It's real because God said so.

You singled him out as a "great thinker" and a "great writer". He is, clearly, one of the weakest and most inarticulate writers here and one of the most feebleminded Christians ever to play a part in this community. It's interesting that you do not have the social skills to have discerned this.
That's a well articulated insult coming from your substantial intellectual prowess, and well developed wealth of social skills.

Beyond "the limits of rationality", people can simply make whatever assertions that appeal to their imagination.
Is that where you get your assertions, from your imagination?
