But Stimbo, if you die its gods plan, if you lose your leg in a runaway horse carriage accident: its gods plan. If you lose everything you own including your health: its gods plan. That is until you face these things yourself. Or actually have to face those starving children face to face: in which case, that's man's fallibility. Or Satan! The choice blame is Satan, that way NO one has to take responsibility for ANYthing! Even themselves.
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.
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
