They give god credit for their very existence though. So their talent and abilities don't belong to them. It comes off as humility but deep down they're imagining how special they must be to god and their treasures in heaven increasing and their place in the heirarchy of heaven getting better for when they die. After they die. After they die and go to heaven like the special kids of Christ they are because they were smarter than everyone else. Its sick in my eyes, in this case he's putting god before his children; letting them watch as he risks his life for fame fortune in the name of god. You know they had the "if I don't live I'm goin to heaven and you two will have to take care of eachother" talk.
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.
