Problems With The Bible Pt 5 - Sodom and Gomorrah
#57
RE: Problems With The Bible Pt 5 - Sodom and Gomorrah
A new thread is fine with me. Some comments on what you said already:

Quote:The message of the bible is that god wants love so much that he is willing to allow evil so he can be worshiped.

Here you seem to be conflating love and worship. I addressed that above.

Regarding hell, it's a place for punishment of sin. It results from god's sense of justice. Salvation OTOH results from god's mercy and grace. People frequently make the mistake of conflating the two. That a person is saved solely through faith does not necessarily mean that people are damned solely for lack of faith.

You should also consider this question: are people spared hell because they worship; or do they worship because they were first spared from hell? In my own experience, I believed I deserved to go to hell, and it didn't cause me to worship. When I learned of freely given grace and accepted it, that's when I began to worship.
