I will let the Bible answer that for you.
"For the wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23)
QUESTION #1 to GODSCHILD: Did you see the two options at Romans 6:23?
QUESTION #2 to GODSCHILD: What is the opposite of life?
SUGGESTION: I encourage you to answer the 8 questions in my OP, then we will go from there.
#1) Those children were sacrificed to pagan gods, that's what outraged God. The manner of death is what the false religion calls fo, God would have been outraged at any manner of child sacrifice.
2#) God condones no murder.
3#) God was angry at their worship of other gods, and the practices that goes with them.
4#) 2nd Corinthians 5:21 God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
5#) Who said Jesus was punished in hell.
6#)Why would He find a need to, there were many hings Jesus did not tell His disciples.
7#) Why wouldn't they be aware, God would not send them to punishment if they were not aware.
8#) Only humans have souls, and who said only souls would go to hell, the lost have their resurrection also, they will have physical bodies.
Matthew 25:41 "Then He (Jesus) will also say to those on His left,'Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels;
vv. 42-45 Jesus explains why.
Matthew 25:46 " And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."
The word eternal is used twice in verse 46 and both times it's the same Greek word. Thus their punishment is forever.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
