and this is different from US TV evangelicals how ?
The TV Evangelicals most likely are only there to follow the money. Legit working class familis are the ones being torn up by what the evangelicals tell them, because they actually believe it.
Hey OP throw out your questions on second hand, I used to be a professed gnostic Christian. Might be able to answer you based on my prior mindset?
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.
