Eternal punishment is pointless.

[Godscreated]

It means that your position doesn't change my eternal destination. As for going to hell, I state what scripture says, if that bothers you you might want to find out why it bothers you.

We know exactly why it bothers us. It's blackmail. Coercion. We're made to think we have a choice in the matter, but when the choices are worship me for eternity or be tortured for eternity, that's the definition of blackmail. Which is highly unethical. If you really think that's how it is, then your god is evil.

Justice requires that if someone accepts Christ as their savior and receives eternal reward, then justice requires an eternal punishment for eternally unforgiven sin against a Holy and Righteous God. This means there are no other choices to be given, there is a limit to what can be offered when the requirements are so specific. Seeing now how this is not blackmail, if hell still bothers you I would think you would want to find out truly why.

You might say that Yahweh can't be evil, because god is inherently good. Then I say Yahweh is not a god. He does things that are obviously evil, so instead of trying to justify his actions because a god is good by definition, then the idea that Yahweh is a god is brought into question.

What makes you think you can judge an omniscient God, scripture says the clay pot has no right to say to the potter why did you make me into this shape. The creator has the right to His plan without question, so your judgment that God is evil holds no water.
