The Bible is clear as to the fate of those who reject God?
"Fear him which is able to
destroy both soul and body in hell" (Matthew 10:28).
"Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire,
prepared for the devil and his angels . . . And these
shall go away into everlasting punishment" (Matthew
25:41,46). "The same shall drink of the wine of the
wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture
into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be
tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of
the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: and
the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and
ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who
worship the beast and his image, and whosoever
receiveth the mark of his name" (Revelation 14:10-11).
It is moral for God to condemn those who die in their sins to eternal torment in the lake of fire (note that whatever God does is justified by virtue of His station as Lord of Lords and King of Kings.) Is torturing criminals moral?
