What brand of christian are you? I have never in my life heard this from another christian.
Like!
Hows that all loving again?
I am take my ques from the bible only. I do assoceiate myself with several different 'denominations' as they strive to do the same. The harvest bible Chapel out of the Chicago area is one I most identify with.
That said, know that the bible does not say God is 'All Loving.' John 3:16 says that God's Love is conditional.
Omni-benevolence is a catholic doctrine first adopted/mandated in the 1870's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omnibenevolence
Quite sometime after the bible was written.

How magnanimous of god. Yes, massa, being good, massa. Something to aspire to, indeed.

If you are destroyed in Hell, what does it matter what you think of God?
Which of the two is it? Being slave to Satan or being destroyed? Can't have it both ways.
We are a slave to sin and the master of sin in this life, which leads to the second death in the next life.
So, both.
