"But I will warn you whom to fear: fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into hell; yes, I tell you, fear Him! (Luke 12:5)
"It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God." (Hebrews 10:31)
"For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment" (2 Peter2:4)

He wants us to love him, but if we don't then he will send us to hell to be tortured. How is this a choice?
If I put a gun to your head and gave you two options, one of which leads to me pulling the trigger, would you call that a choice?

He commands us to love, but He will not compel us to love. God commands us to treat others fairly, but He will not force us to do so. Hewants us to love him but won't force us to. God loves you all!!!

The Bible teaches that God did not create hell as a judgment for humanity. God created hell for the punishment of the devil and his angels and not as a place for human beings to suffer. Since God created us in His image, He will not destroy us after death, but He does need a place for those who choose to practice hatred instead of love and disobedience instead of obedience. He doesn't chose who goes to hell and who doesn't he gave humans and angels free will. (continued..........)

I guess god sending someone to hell is the cosmological equivalent of Bush's "extraordinary rendition" policy, where he sends people he wants tortured to countries where torture is legal.

The Bible is ALWAYS contractictory...if you have the wrong approach. The Bible is like God...God is like a twisty-contorted-thingy that needs to be approached in an impossible fashion. But all things are possible with God's help. I can't fit through the eye of a needle, but all things are possible with God.

grovergrunt:
My last message didn't necessarily apply to you on everything I said. So I'm sorry if It sounded like I was going after you unjustely. I'm just speaking out about the comments I'm getting in general.
"Surely a god could manage something a little better than a theme. "
That's really a matter of opinion. My opinion is that hell isn't very fair. Does change the truth value of the assertion? I didn't say the bible was all clear; I said the basic ideas of the bible are clear.
God would be labeled a psychotic by any other standards, but hey! when your omnipitent, you would just be classified as a little bit eccentric!

Hi azsuperman01.
Thanks for the video response, for the gracious and thoughtful words you used. You're right, I did miss the point of the graph, my mistake, I see what you were getting at now. While I didn't think you were trying to prove atheism, I did think you were demonstrating that Christians had as much chance of being right as any other religion. So, I got it wrong. I respectfully disagree with you regarding hell but I'm sure we can agree to disagree.
Cheers =)
