I've asked something vaguely like this before, but want to try a slightly different angle on it and see what the people here, now, think.
please name a crime that truly deserves infinite punishment.
I've talked to and read alot lately of people finding the idea of by our nature, deserving of an infinite punishment, and calling that justice! I just cannot wrap my head around this concept. how can someone think that they, as God created them, are deserving of such?
I don't claim to be perfect, but I am certainly not so bad that I deserve infinite punishment... in fact i'd go so far as to say that *nobody* really deserves infinite punishment. some deserve a whole heck of alot... but eternity is a long time. and what is the point of punishment if theres no chance to learn or repent or even try to make up for that wrongdoing?
what line of thinking is it that leads one to accept such a concept readily, as deserving eternal punishment, at all, let alone by nature.
