I'm not avoiding what the scriptures teach, I am flat-out telling you they are false. The inconsistency of god being love and the concept of hell seems to allude you.
Saying 'it is what it is' gives me great insight into your critical thinking behind your belief system. And by critical thinking I mean lack thereof. You seem unable to justify your position so you just accept it as is.
