I really would like to know SteveII and Lek's input on whether you are all on the same page regarding this question before I respond. If they've got the tenacity to reply, that is.
Your hypothetical is impossible, so an answer is just nonsense.
It wasn't impossible in the OT, when they were doing it, so why isnt a practice in your religious beliefs as a hypothetical, irrelevant? I hear Christians ask all the time, "would you have done this.. or that.. if you were in X situation in the OT" and quite often it's something that reflects well upon the Christian. "I wouldn't have sold Jesus out! How could Judas have done that having seen the miracles of God?!" , or, famously "I probably could have made it through the tests of Job."
Why is answering my question nonsense then?
Drich you are getting a response. I'm just waiting for Steve and Lek to weigh in.
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!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
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.
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
