Christians: Do you really like the idea of a god that burns, torments, or rejects anyone for eternity as a punishment?

Unfortunately, you're going on something that you have heard and not read. That has been a teaching of Religion, and NOT from the Bible. Satan is the god of this world as you can plainly see in this passage. (1John 5:19 We know that we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one) But, after we die, there is no Burning, or Punishment, which is found in this next scripture,
(Eccl. 9:10 - Whatever your hand finds to do, do with all you might, for there is no work nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom in the Grave, where you are going.) Almighty God made a Promise to mankind, and that's found in (Revolution 21:4 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”) If God is so hateful, why would He give us something so Wonderful to look forward to? We need to stop listening to what the churches say, and start looking it up for ourselves....Show more

Some Bible translations use the word “hell” for the Hebrew word “Sheol” and the matching Greek word “Hades,” both of which refer to the common grave of mankind. (Psalm 16:10; Acts 2:27) Many people believe in a fiery hell. However, the Bible teaches otherwise.

Those in hell are unconscious and so cannot feel pain. “There is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol.”—Ecclesiastes 9:10.

Good people go to hell. The faithful men Jacob and Job expected to go there.—Genesis 37:35; Job 14:13.

Death, not torment in a fiery hell, is the penalty for sin. “He who has died has been acquitted from his sin.”—Romans 6:7.

Eternal torment would violate God’s justice. (Deuteronomy 32:4) When the first man, Adam, sinned, God told him that his punishment would simply be to pass out of existence: “Dust you are and to dust you will return.” (Genesis 3:19) God would have been lying if he were actually sending Adam to a fiery hell.

God does not even contemplate eternal torment. The idea that he would punish people in hellfire is contrary to the Bible’s teaching that “God is love.”—1 John 4:8; Jeremiah 7:31....Show more

I am not christain but NO.
I feel very bad and cannot help crying if I see someone in pain. And the pain is everywhere and lots of it and immense pain. That makes me feel how cruel God is.

There are theories that people are punished for their deeds/sins they committed in past lives. But hey whats the meaning if they don't know for what they are being punished. We don't understand how God works if He exists.

But for now I do not like the idea of God that burns, torments, or rejects anyone for eternity as a punishment...Show more

Well just take a look at some of the Q and As on here from Christians and how they revel in the idea of atheists burning in hell for an eternity. They love the idea that they're superior and everyone else is screwed....Show more

This is why u should study gods word, revelation says, the murderers, sexual aldulters,thiefs will goto hell. When we had the london riots few years back, u think it be the unfortunate doing the thiefing out of shops and smashing stuff up, a lot of these people had good payed jobs and some were even rich. But the fact is, man can be a two faced crook, imagine it like this, theres no police force, army etc, you would see the true face of mans evil. All sin is against god, god knows the heart better then ourselfs, would u thief in a shop in ur own town or thief in another town. God know the answer to this, i hope u understand where im comin from. As living being we can be ruthless and cruel, with god 5he heart can be transformed, when we admits our failings,sin to him and get born again, 2 rules in life, god or the devil, theres your freewill choice,...Show more
