Like for your snowball world theory I'd like you to show me human fossils from that time period. Should be easy-- finding evidence of mass deaths covered by a flood of rock and sediment, during that era. If you look at the fossil record I bet you'll conclude that you're an idiot just as I have.
But we need a world wide thing. snow ball earth fits, but that is as far as I would go. Maybe early in earth's history when there were little bits of land here and there.
but even before that discussion. We need some understanding as to why we are looking at the bible in such a anti-jesus like fashion. Jesus clearly taught against literal religion.
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.
