"Obey me or burn in hell, your choice".
Yea, funny how no sane person would buy that from an abusive spouse if their partner wanted to leave them.
Robber, "Give me your wallet, and I'll let you live. But, choose to keep it, I'll kill you and take it anyway."
That is not a choice, that is emotional blackmail.
so have i.
we don't burn because we do not obey.
None of us can obey is the point.
So God changed the rules with Christ. it is not about obedience, but about love.
If we can love our God with all of our ability, and our neighbors as our selves we complete or accomplish all the law has to say.
Bologna.
Sorry, cant ignore the parts in the NT where he demands you abandon your family and friends if they don't kiss is butt. Nor can you ignore where he says that he brings not peace, but a sword. Not to mention God/himself/Jesus, the same three headed being, goes right back to genocide and violence at the end of the book.
And why even Jesus at all? The flood was supposed to get everyone to behave.
Those stories never happened and the entire book is a book of mythology, written in an age of kings whom would punish you for lack of loyalty.
