If you believe in the God of the Bible, why try to prove it logically?
RE: If you believe in the God of the Bible, why try to prove it logically?
So just so we are straight, god is good to you and everything he does or says in the bible is good. Because you don't want or even need to know why the shepherd killed the sheep you just assume from the onset that it was for a good reason that your limited viewpoint can't or doesn't need to fathom?

Thinking

I used to be like that.
The only way I was able to rationalize that mentality was giving concessions as to what hell is and how long hell is. Which I believe you and catfish have done.
So here we are.
You know I didn't open the bible after I went through my own hardships to re examine god. I went looking for answers but with my eyes opened by near death. I wanted to understand god and it was this procedure that led me to my beliefs about god. I'm ahead of you although I'm sure you'll say I'm behind you.
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!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

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.
