Does he have any special credentials or books written that have wide scholarly approval? The historicity of Jesus is a well attested fact.

Sure it is, sugar. In the same library in your head as the documentation for hell.

God spoke to me and revealed the nature of hell personally. I have the documentation myself.

Do you have any evidence for that?

Mark 15:34
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

John 19:30
When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, "It is finished", and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.


Well, would you look at that! From Clueless Jesus to Jesus On A Mission! Who would have thought that time made stories more fanstastic...

*sigh* that the first Gospel (Mark) portrays Jesus as desperate and confused as to why God abandoned him. Then we get the last Gospel (John) portraying him as this big man who has it all under control and knows exactly why this is all happening to him. Classic example of a story being embellished to sound better than what it is.

Hiya Chris, Welcome

Welcome

If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

While many people don't do well facing adversity, many people do well. The greater the chance of failure, the greater the praise in success. What is important is to note the opportunity we been given to earn praiseworthiness. I feel personally honored by what life gives the opportunity of achieving.

Sure you can focus on people not doing well in facing adversity, but, perhaps the gems that do well, are worth the tribulations and suffering.

As far as peace goes in the long run, and happiness, I don't subscribe to religion, and the argument doesn't need a religion to be true, it's simply saying a benevolent Creator is possible in the world with evil and suffering and that in the long run, it's possible all humans (those who fail and those who are successful) will be at peace.

From that perspective, being given the opportunity to earn praise, would seem benevolent, specially down the line, billions years of peace and tranquility will make suffering in this world seem trivial.

The negation of premise would be that earned higher praise facing evil and suffering cannot be out a worthy goal of creating a world that encompasses evil and suffering. But this seems false to me.
