It is simply if you love him you spend eternity with him if you do not love him you go to the only place where he is not. Perhaps it was a bad analogy. How about one about marriage. Would you want an arranged marriage or one created out of love. He does not force us to love him because that wouldn't actually be him loving us now would it.
He doesn't punish you for not loving him? Doesn't he send people to hell for not loving him? Which is it?
How does this analogy work in relation to that? Should we punish people for not accepting marriage?

Humans of today are a bit stupid. It wasn't a threat. He just dropped his protection on a land of people that defiled his name. kind of like Syria right now if you think of it.
So if he's all-powerful he could have done more than that? By just allowing it to happen, is he showing love?
Please define love in your own words. I keep asking and you keep not answering.
I don't believe you. Get over it.
