An interesting thing in popular culture is the movies that show murderous gangsters going to church. God & Jesus love that.(August 27, 2015 at 5:49 pm)Wyrd of Gawd Wrote: That sounds good but then Jesus says that he's going to toss everyone who doesn't believe him into the lake of fire. He's not loving or forgiving.
The belief is that if you turn away from love/goodness (aka God), there is no where left to go except the only place where those things are not present. God is not present in Hell, and since we believe God is love/goodness, those things are not present in Hell and that's why Hell is so awful. Of course, if you are truly sorry, meaning if you don't reject those things, of course you will be forgiven.
