Anyone else think it's odd for the biggest Debbie Downer in forumville to participate in a thread that was started to offset his never ending drivel?

Wrong. Evidently you got a big fat "F" in logic class in your life.

A teacher is not omnipotent & doesn't torture his pupils in fire for eternity.

Any god that does that is responsible for his choices & is a sicko sadistic monster infinitely worse than Hitler, Stalin & Trump combined.

The analogy appears to be beyond your comprehension. If we all have free will and free choice, then we cannot pass blame to anyone else.

If a person fears God, he or she has no reason to fear anything else. On the other hand, if a person does not fear God, then fear becomes a way of life.

Irrelevant. If others have freewill, then they are to blame for whatever they do out of their freewill that is blame worthy. That includes a fictional monster of a god who would torture billions forever while keeping them in existence by His will for this sadism. Of course those billions could justly pass the blame to that sicko omnipotent omniscient god, because he would be worthy of blame. In fact he would be a far more evil, sinful, and wicked being than all the human sinners of history put together.

If an eternal hell existed, it is God's choice to send people to hell and his choice alone, not their choice. Nobody says "I choose & want to suffer endless torments in hell, please send me there, God." God could be merciful & save them from such an unbelievably horrific & sadistic future by simply annihilating them out of existence. Then God wouldn't have to send anyone to "hell" let alone an endless hellish existence of torments. So your doctrine of God makes Him into a sicko sadistic monster worse than all the serial killers of history combined.

Moreover, God could choose to send unrepentant sinners to another place rather than that "hell" (the fiery lake) of endless torments. For example, He could send them somewhere where they wouldn't be allowed to harm anyone else & where they could spend eternity enjoying pleasures much like they did while alive on earth.

So even under the assumption that God chooses to send people to an endless lake of fire to be tormented forever based on how they lived during a brief lifetime, that choice is on God, not human beings. Because God had at least 3 alternatives to sending anyone to endless sufferings in hell. In addition to the two i stated above, He could have sent the unrepentant to a "hell" where they are corrected & eventually saved so they may join others in heaven. To fail to do so implies your God's love has an expiry date like a carton of milk or He is impotent to save (so He is not Omnipotent as Scripture says), or He doesn't want to save those in "hell", in which case He is not loving or good but a sicko sadistic monster.

Furthermore to bring endless sufferings on anyone for the relatively momentary sins of a lifetime is extremely unjust. Additionally, it is also pointless. Is it supposed to bring God glory or illicit praise from the saints in heaven. Quite the opposite.

Life is often challenging, but as Christians, we must not be afraid. God loves us, and He will protect us.

We honor God by asking for great things when they are a part of His promise. We dishonor Him and cheat ourselves when we ask for molehills where He has promised mountains.

The Lord sends no one away empty except those who are full of themselves.

D. L. Moody


The reason why God is so great a Lover of humility is because He is the great Lover of truth. Now humility is nothing but truth, while pride is nothing but lying.

God wants us to serve Him with a willing spirit, one that would choose no other way.

Faith does not concern itself with the entire journey. One step is enough.

You cannot stay where you are and go with God. For you to do the will of God, you must adjust your life to Him, His purposes and His ways.
