Why BURN BILLIONS of people as punishment for "not accepting my son" ? and Why for ETERNITY? That has to be the most fucked up thing imaginable, that to me is NOT of justice, NOT of love and certainty NOT righteous, if anything, its barbaric, its savagery, its inhumane, and most importantly, its EVIL. And don't say "No they actually do die a second time in the lake of fire" because that "holy" book of yours is filled with contradictions. God cannot deal with sinners in a civilized, and humane matter? Why not the punishment for not accepting god or Jesus be: You die in this life, thats it, no heaven.Everyone determines by choice if they want to have eternity with connection or separation from God.
God’s nature doesn’t allow for torture, torment; if anyone experiences that, it's entirely self-imposed. ‘Burn' is symbolic of what separation from God is liken to.*
*2 Thess 1:9 These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power.
So you think we send ourselves to hell? Again with that bullshit.
