-Removed-The thing is you go on and on about so many things dive, I wonder how many posts you wrote about a deleted post by someone here, that was pure nauseating just watching that mind numbing exchange unfold. The topic was so unimportant!
Yet with respect to Hell, evil, Jesus Christ and His righteousness, what is God going to do with sinners, "so what". The issue if true is a grave one don't you think? If not true there should be some answers from you forthcoming, what God is going to do instead of what is written in scriptures. When questions, glib non-answers show how unimportant this really is to you, for me it is one of the most frightening thing we can discuss.
It isn't that anyone likes the idea of Hell, I'm hoping no one here goes there, the less the better, but like a lot of bad things in life, my likes and dislikes do not change the fact they occur.
-Removed-So evil people, what happens to them? They were created for life, God is the God of the living not the dead. We were given life by an eternal God, we were made in His image when creation started. Throughout scripture we see that the dead are just someplace else and what is called the final second death is a lake of fire. People we are told in scripture are going to be cast into this lake, but you say no why?
@kellyjay saidThe problem with your torturer god ideology is not whether one likes it or not; the problem is that it comes across as moral nonsense. You even said, yesterday, "I'm glad God isn't fair." It just sounds bonkers.

@kellyjay saidI'm sorry, but there are just so many unprovable assertions in that post that there is nowhere to begin.

Also, if we were made in the image of God, doesn't it follow that God is also complicated, inconsistent, sometimes evil, sometimes good, and also in need of understanding and forgiveness?
@caesar-salad saidI suggest beginning by reading the Bible.

@caesar-salad saidThat would true only for those not wanting to walk in the light of it.
And I suggest that the Bible has become an obstacle rather than a guide.
@kellyjay saidSo... you're glad... that your God figure is... "not fair"?
Fair would be punishing everyone for their sins, merciful allows for grace. If God gave us what is just and fair, we all would be sharing the fate of Satan and his angels.
What belittling-yourself stuff is this you are posting in public?
-Removed-Add yet beyond saying what I have said you dislike you don’t make a case for the truth as you see it in scripture. You make claims that what is said is metaphorical but don’t expound on what the truth of scripture really means instead. You are all complaint without a Biblical reason as to why.
