Because a historically reliable NT tells me that Jesus existed, that he was crucified and that he was raised from the dead. This suggests that his claim to be God was legit. If so, then EVERYTHING he said becomes extremely important, and one of the things he talked about was the final exam.
Hi there, I was just perusing and saw this post. I'd be interested in knowing what you consider to be proof that the New Testament is historically accurate? Elementary question, I know. But if it's the entire basis of your belief, then it's quite crucial.
Welcome to AF by the way!
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.
