Why is God exempt from basking in the lake of fire he created?

Wouldn't genocide be a lake of fire style offence?

    He's not exempt. Not how you currently see it anyway.

    Any kingdom that is divided by itself will fall. That is the reason the devil will never beat god.

    God is literally the definition of perfect. So much in fact that If he was to walk among us on earth, every last one of us would literally explored into a pile of mush because everyone is so sinful. Right from the Pope to neo-nazis to David Cameron. Everyone who is in his absolute presence.

    If any human (including Jesus) stands any chance of getting into haven and far away from Hades and the lake of fire how much more likely is it that God will. After all, Jesus himself said only god is truly good, only god is the true teacher and only god is truly perfect.

    God is the fire.

    All impurity, sin to you, will burn in the fire of God's presence.

    In God there is no evil. The genocide you refer to was the punishment on sinners inflicted by God for disobedience to His will.

    Why are wardens and prison guards exempt from being locked up?

    If the average citizen locks someone up, it's "false imprisonment" or "kidnapping".. wardens/prison guards do it, and it's called "justice".. wth?

    The nations He ordered wiped out were humping animals and sacrificing their seed to Molech. Lev 18:21-24. "for in all these the nations are defiled"

    You like that? You want some of it? Does it make you horny? "UH UH OH OH!"

    Eze 28:18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.

    Eze 28:19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and NEVER SHALT THOU BE ANY MORE.

    In Rev 20:10, the Gr basanizo comes from basanos, which can mean torture by analogy. But properly it means "a touch-stone": a stone used to identify precious metals.

    Satan will be tried by fire, and never shall he be any more.

    Rev 20:14 "...This is the second death." Not the "second life".

    I think I have it figured out.

    What if the the new testament god is actually Lucifer, and he was successful in his rebellion and ousted the old testament god whom is now living in this metaphysical hell, and is the being Christians refer to as Satan?

    And Lucifer just made it seem like he was the bad guy so that there wouldn't be a harsh transition of power?

    {edit}

    I could almost get behind this idea as a religion . . . It actually makes sense as to why God seemed to have flip-flopped between testaments.

    he did not create 'the lake of fire'

    he did nothing to deserve such

    punishing evildoers is a GOOD thing

    because he knows if it wasn't him that made it he'd probably be its sole inhabitant.

    That's what so cool about being the guy who makes the rules.
