Why would you ever want to believe men that claimed a God would burn you?

Question

Pick the most vicious, murderous human being you can think of. Let’s use Adolf Hitler. Hitler was mainly responsible for World War Two, in which it is estimated, 50 million people died. If there ever was a candidate for Hell, It would have to be Adolf. Let’s say we give Hitler 3 years in hell for every death he caused, or 150 Million years! Maybe that’s not enough, let’s give him 10 years, or 500 Million years burning in Hell, suffering at the hands of Satan. He deserves every second. Why stop there? Lets give him a Trillion years, or a thousand Million years of agony!
But that’s still not eternity. According to the Hellfire doctrine, all sinners will burn in Hell for eternity. That is way more than 1 Trillion years. Do you think at some point Hitler will have suffered enough to compensate for what he did? Is 1 Trillion years enough?
Do you think Hitler is suffering alone? By definition, a lot, if not the majority of people who died in WW2 went to Hell. So conceivably, many who Hitler killed in concentration camps could be right next to Him, suffering for eternity. Hey. Jews weren’t Christian! They didn’t believe in Jesus. Are they anywhere as evil as he is?
Let’s bring it closer to home. Your neighbor, who you’ve known for years, does not believe as you. In fact he doesn’t even attend church. You’ve watched each others kid’s grow up, lent each other yard tools, swam in each others pool, but he and his whole family are going to Hell. They’ll be right there with Adolf and all the other non believers.
Every Sunday, your preacher says so and you believe it. In your case, was Thomas Payne correct: “Belief in a Cruel God makes a Cruel Man”? Do you believe your neighbor, who works hard, never breaks the laws, takes care of his family is going to Hell, right along with Hitler?
Are you a cruel person? Do you believe in a cruel God?

Yes Thomas Paine was correct. No I don't believe in a cruel God. I also think that Hell was made up to keep the poor from attempting to usurp the thrones of the wealthy.

right this is my replica and paste job under. "Joh a million:18 No guy hath considered God at any time (????? ???????? ????????? ???????) God is first interior the Greek order, as emphatic: “God hath no guy ever considered.” As to the substance of the assertion, evaluate Joh_3:11; Exo_33:20; 1Jo_4:12. Manifestations of God to previous testomony saints have been in simple terms partial and approximate (Exo_33:23). The seeing meant right it fairly is seeing of the divine essence fairly than of the divine individual, which is likewise indicated by using the absence of the object from ?????, God. in this sense even Christ became into no longer considered as God. The verb ??????, to confirm, denotes a actual act, yet emphasizes the psychological discernment accompanying it, and factors to the result fairly than to the act of imaginative and prescient. In 1Jo_1:a million; 1Jo_4:12, 1Jo_4:14, ???????? is used, denoting calm and planned contemplation (see on Joh_1:14). In Joh_12:40 5, we've ???????, to behold (see on Mar_5:15; see on Luk_10:18). the two ???????? and ??????? mean planned contemplation, however the former is staring at as a fashion to fulfill the attention, on a similar time as the latter is beholding greater critically, with an inward non secular or psychological pastime interior the ingredient beheld, and as a fashion to get carry of know-how approximately it. “???????? may well be used of a typical formally reviewing or examining a defense force; ???????? of a lay spectator watching the parade”

You are right it seems like he should get the worst punishment. However:

The worst person who will be at the bottom of Hell will be Pharaoh, for he called himself God and acted like God despite countless proofs and evidences from Moses. Finally, when the Red Sea was about to close in upon him, he in utter fear and desperation finally re-canted and accepted the Lord of Moses. But, it was too late for him.

A man who kills countless people but, still believes in One True GOD will get severely punished for his atrocities, but may eventually be put in heaven for not abandoning his creator.

A man who kills countless people, and then discovers and accepts the faith of One True GOD, and who is sincere, remorseful, and attempts to make better changes in his life, then suddenly dies may very well be given heaven with out punishment.

No one can judge except the best of judges. One-GOD.

all praises of God words are parable and word burn in hell its up to us to realize that hitler had been in hell while he had been here on earth. His tough life were hell  he even commit suicide because he was an evil man. that means he burn himself if you will analyze a parable words. God is not cruel we ourselves and the nature example tornadoes typhoons earth quake and love. man enviousness and all sorts of hunger. that's Jesus come to the earth that even him suffered and died even Him the one who made the world he made with such trouble of nature. It is people to people made the worst thing

ROBERT P · Answer

God predestines no one to go to hell. God does not send anyone to hell. They go to hell by their own free choice, because the thought of being with God, who they hate, forever in heaven is unthinkable. So God does not force them to be with him. He respects the freedom of his creatures. The main punishment of hell is the exclusion of communion with God for all eternity.
