I'm sorry you're not following me, Stat.
So there was no death before Cain and Able's fiasco is that what you're saying? Or perhaps when god clothed them he had to kill an animal. Before that, before 'the fall', death is negligible yes?
So Adam and Eve had no idea the consequences of their actions. They were given free will (before the apple) with consequence of death, and yet had no idea what that consequence was?

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.
