Yes ma’am, nobody had to scare me into following Jesus to know get to know God lol. I think it’s real easy for a lot of folks to twist God into their own personal form of revenge on an enemy. If they think real hard and their heart is in all the wrong places, they can make the Bible say nearly anything they want to justify being a horrible person themselves. People like that are why some people think that if the Bible is true, then God is evil. The crazy part is for me, even if God did turn out to be “evil” (which He isn’t, we just think like humans) I don’t think that i’d Care, because Jesus has shown me how to look past evil and love anyway. (Granted, i’m Not real good at it yet lol)

God’s judgement is truly just, whether I know what exactly that entails or not, i’m Not the source of all justness so i’m No expert on the matter lol. But there is a little bit of mental gymnastics to go through to show me that the standard explanation of eternal torture in hellfire works on an unbeliever who is selfless and can find comfort in the security of those who are not sentenced to the same fate as they are.

I think a part of what made that person who they were would have to be complete removed or changed to make the punishment work in that situation. i’m Not sure of how that could be so and it still be The same person/soul.
