Not talking about the OT but the entire set up of heaven earth and hell. If a dad tells his children, if you don't say you love me and live with me forever, I'll throw you in a burning pit.
Is he abusive or is he Christlike?
Thing is you're using a human mind to decipher God's. Not possible.
We have Jesus' words. God is a "loving and merciful" one.
We have a choice. And by Jesus' own admission, even after our death.
Going "towards the light" is to show our love for Him, and the promise of an eternal life!
Some won't go to the light. And for what reasons? Probably one is the reason you talk about. That He is a punishing, and hateful God.
Well, then you would get what [you believe] is truth in that case!
So he's not the same as an abusive parent despite doing the same things because he told us he is "loving and merciful", and if we don't live with him forever we'll burn in hell and be proven right about what we thought about him (being an abusive parent)?
I didn't ask you to judge god, I asked you to judge this hypothetical dad. I asked you if he was abusive, in your opinion, or is he Christlike?
I just want to make sure I didn't misinterpret you.
Anyway, I don't want to live with god forever because i don't think I want to live forever, let alone with the same person for all eternity. Also he's not real, so, you know.
