God is love. God is just. God is merciful.

RE: God is love. God is just. God is merciful.
That's not how justice works. You don't send an innocent person to pay the price for the guilty. Besides, if the punishment wasn't disproportionate to the crime then there's be no reason to sacrifice himself to himself.

If I went to the gates, and there was a guy I met to go over my good and bad points, and said I needed to serve time according to my deeds, why should I say no? The whole reason I didn't want to go to hell when I was young was because it was eternal torture. If it was just finite community service, I'd be happy to do it because I deserved it. I do not deserve eternal fiery torment.

So you have an innocent man temporarlly dying before going up to heaven to rule at his father's side, or to rule heaven as god if you believe jesus and Yahweh are the same guy, because the guy in charge thinks we should burn in hell or be destroyed otherwise. That's not justice. That's a publicity stunt.
