Why honor a God that would inflict Hell on even the worst sinners?

Question

The classical Hell I was brought up with (eternal torment, etc.). Seems it's infinitely out of proportion with the worst possible amounts of sin.

Answer 1

That Hell is more a literary device, used by Puritan-Psychos to intimidate people from committing even the most base offenses. It's difficult for me to reconcile an "all loving" God who then gets irate at someone for stealing, cheating on a spouse, or murder, and deems it's fair and appropriate to have them roasted alive on a spit and speared by demons for all Eternity.

Sure, there are bad crimes out there, but I prefer to think of Hell as more a mundane, empty, barren existence (i.e. Davenport, Iowa ?) that someone can escape if they repent and make amends.

Answer 2

What punishment would you want for killers, rapists, etc. We are all given a choice and a chance. We are first given a choice about which "road to take"; i.e.; good or evil. Then, if we do make a mistake or mistakes, we are given the chance to redeem ourselves. It seems harsh, but why do we have the death penalty (over life imprisonment) in some states. That seems harsh also, but as the saying goes, harsh times cause for harsh measures. If we didn't have this a lot of people would be running amok...I hate it, but we must have strict rules and consequences about disobeying those rules or we would have anarchy.
Think about the tragedies people are causing today, big or small. What kind of punishment would you like for them.
What if someone deliberately killed someone very close to you. What punishment should they bear?
What is "the worst possible amount of sin" you can think of and what would be a justifiable punishment?
I would really like to hear your answer.

Answer 3

I feel that it was man kind that has made God's Earth a hell. I won't mention how much the politicians of this society had a role in it. Let alone a hand in it. I won't mention how many of the religious leader's turned their head as they watched Mother Earth's beautyness being destroyed as the government started ripping rights away from the people. An brought much turmoil to the simple people's lives. I wont mention that these leaders are sick with a sickness called GREED. How they took the beliefs away from the Native Americans an made them believe in their God. An stripped their land and language from them as will.

Answer 4

People choose hell. God does not inflict it. People make the selection by deciding not to accept God's gift of salvation. God gives us all a choice. Some decide that they don't want God, and so they have opted for eternal separation from him.

No need or reason to blame God for humans' choices.

Answer 5

I honor God, by what is seen, not said. Hell is a myth the world we live in is real. The real world is a creation of God, and a gift to man. I honor God because Iam greatful for his creation.

Answer 6

God made guy in His image. He gave guy loose will, to come to a decision on against stable and evil, we chosen evil. look on the international immediately, it rather is not that stable, evil is everywhere. rather everyone who's born into this international is born with a sin nature. you do no longer ought to instruct a newborn to lie or scouse borrow they comprehend from their very nature. This brought about a smash in guy's relationship with God. God can not settle for sin in His presence. Jesus got here to take the sin of the international and fix our relationship with God. If one does not settle for the sacrifice of Christ, then that individual continues to be residing in his sin nature. God does not anticipate compliment from a sinner, He expects repentance. compliment is from believers. this might seem harsh, yet people ought to comprehend the ugliness of sin, basically look at terrorism. God needs every person to return to a precise relationship with Him.

Answer 7

sinners can turn to JESUS and be forgiven JOHN 3-16. if you don't want forgiveness then you will go to hell. there will be no sinners in heaven, when GOD looks at the christians HE will see HIS SON not our sins. GOD HIMSELF paid the way for you to be forgiven. it is a free gift all you have to do is accept. so hell is just.

Answer 8

God does not want anyoneto go to Hell. He only wants those who want to be His friend to have anice place to live. The problem is that if you go (by your own choice even sinners of the wore type can make the right choice to be His friend) to a place where the residents do not want to be with God well that is gonna be a bad bunch, they are gonna burn you, doncha know

Answer 9

The bible doesn't teach that there is a hell. You're right, a loving god wouldn't inflict even the worst people a life of torment.

Answer 10

According to the teachings of the Prophets of God, we must:

1.Praise God Only
2.Worship God Only
3.All Honour belongs to God Only
4.Obey God Only
5.Serve God Only

And all of us must have fear of the Day of Judgement because it is the Day of God Our Lord Only and in the presence of God, no one will be saviour or intercessor.
BEWARE PLEASE, all who turn away from all these teachings of the Prophets is totally satanic, never mind who says and who hears.

God created this universe and made it a home for the creatures. So that the creatures might pay thanks to God through worship and obedience and in turn they might receive God’s blessings.

Universe is a creation of God and behind it____ is God’s Almightiness. God created the needs___ the needies____ and all the things of needs. God is God____ God is need-free and Absolute Holy.

God is Almighty. God creates whatsoever God wills to create. Each and every creature of God is answerable to God and God is not answerable to anyone.

If the worshippers worship God and obey Gods commandments, it makes no difference to God. But on the other side, it makes a lot of difference to the worshippers if they do not worship God as they become empty-hearted and remain empty-hearted until and unless they resort to God.

If the sinners sin and disobey God, it makes no difference to God but the sinful life brings a lot of difference to the sinners as the sins necessitate the curse of God.

Curse is the God ordained result of sin
While blessing is the God ordained
result of virtue.

God has already judged the sinners and the righteous, in terms of their deeds through revealing the commandments and ordaining the ways to Hell and Heaven.
Key-point to receive the blessings of God___ is to become God’s dependent by all means____ through prayers_____ and patience ____ and trust in God.
God helps and guides aright to those who ask God for God’s help and guidance.
The people who do not believe God and lead a lustful life____ are always mislead to disaster.

At present stage of human history, when the continued work of the Godly-guidance stands, already, perfected in terms of the long series of prophets and their Scriptures. And__ the Day of Judgement is also at hand. The masses must review, all and all of that, which is being maintained by them; in the name of faith and belief.

The ignorant must pay heed to the Scriptures and the Message of Monotheism, contained therein. Still there is some time for the Repentive Recourse to reform and recognize the actual purpose of life including the actualisation thereof.

Jesus (PBUH) had given this message in his prayer on the cross (The Psalm 22)

“Praise the Lord, you servants of the Lord
Honour the Lord,
You descendants of Jacob
Worship the Lord, you people of Israel.”
(The Psalm 22:23)

It means that praise is meant for the Lord alone. And___ to honour the Lord means to obey the Lord in terms of the Lord’s Commandments and to worship the Lord means to seek help and refuge from the Lord as the Lord is the Omnipotent-Protector alone. And___ that is the sole purpose of human life.
