not mean that evil isn't part of some of the ones made by God. There was a war in heaven
and Satan and his angels were booted out, they are down here now spreading lies, keeping
as many of us away from God as possible. If some spirit preaches to you anything other the
gospel of Jesus Christ let him be accursed.
Galatians 1:8
But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.
-Removed-There is an attribute of God that you seem to fail to understand.
What attribute of God was it that was poured out on Jesus while He hung on the cross?
That's right. You guessed it. God's wrath! God is eternal and so is His wrath. Somehow Jesus suffered under the full cup of God's wrath without admixture and died eternally in our place.
Whoever rejects Christ will suffer the cup of God's wrath poured out on them. Without admixture. Forever.
That's what the scriptures teach.
G. K. Chesterton, who is one of Divegester (or Divegester's girlfriends?) countrymen, pointed out that Christainity becomes very complicated on very complicated, human topics.
Efforts to simplify these topics is futile.
Sure, one can say that "unconditional love" would mean that you would never punish anyone... But, that is a gross simplification of a complex thing. How could we be showing unconditional love by withholding cosmic justice to those who deserve it, for instance..?
While, of course, you can make a series of arguments that [I]one has to withhold it,[/I] it really isn't the only line of argumentation open.
And if you just happen to argue a line that is not founded anywhere in the Bible and blatantly contradicts the content of the Bible, there's a good chance that you do not believe in the Bible.
Just a fact, really.
