Unconditional love

'When God saw their deeds, that they turned from their wicked way, then God relented concerning the calamity which He had declared He would bring upon them. And He did not do it.' (Jonah 3:10)


'The LORD changed His mind about this. "It shall not be," said the LORD.' (Amos 7:3)

God has changed his.mind has had regrets has repented of certain deeds has made mistakes. The list is endless

I understand you have an issue with the whole "burn for eternity" thingy, but what to do?

What do you do with those who reject you?

If you were God, what would you do?

If you torment someone who rejects you then you are a sick sob. God will do no such thing neither is there biblical support for that doctrine

If life and love withdraw from you what is left?

If you tell your child that they will be grounded if they break your rules, does the fact that you love your child unconditionally mean that you shouldn't keep your word?

We could move on to that if you attempted to answer my question first.

Withdrawal of life is death not torment

As anticipated our dear direct, honest, forthright and principled divegeester will not answer the question put to him as it will blow his argument out of the water.

That is physical death.

What about spiritual death?

You presume to think they are one in the same.

Ah and you're the only one by chance who is not warped?

Ok good start. The follow up to that would be do you believe God is allowed to have rules that we may or may not agree with?

So spiritual death = torment?

Is that it? What is stopping you from speaking clearly and stating what tou mean instead of nonsensical waffle ?
