...if they commit even the most feeble or inconsequential sins?

I have asked myself that question a number of times and the logic doesn't compute with me... The only conclusion I have come to is that perhaps they taste better that way. Also that fear is the ultimate tool when it comes to manipulation of minds and hearts.

God doesn't see sin as feeble or inconsequential. Humans are the ones that place sins on a scale of 1 to 10. Sin is sin to God. Furthermore, God does not send people to hell, we obligingly send ourselves there by unifying ourselves with Satan. Our whole nature as humans is to sin, we are prone to evil, which goes against everything pure and holy that God is. If you reject the grace of God while here, then you yourself have made the decision to spend eternity down under, and not that's not Australia because Australia is an awesome place.

There is no such thing as a feeble inconsequential sin. God is righteous and can not be in agreement with sin. It is that sin which separates you from God.(Satans pitchfork) This separation was a consequence of sin which God provided for with the atonement. It is your free will that allowed you to choose to sin and the same free will allows you to accept the price God paid his torture and death as atonement for your sin. the truth is you can be judged according to the law or according to the atonement. God does not make this decision he allows you the free will to make it.

First of all, NO sin is feeble or inconsequential. Second of all, not all people believe that. I know that Jehovah's Witnesses don't believe that ppl either go to heaven or hell. They think that God would never burn people for all eternity.

This is all wrong. God will not torture anyone for eternity and Satan does not work as God's head torturer.

Get it right; the Bible teaches that the unrighteous will burn until they turn to ashes and then they will be dead for eternity.

Think about it only the righteous will receive eternal life, but in order to be punished for eternity, the unrighteous would also have to receive eternal life; it won't happen.

God is a God of love and of justice, but he does not delight in vengence.

God will forgive you if you ask for his forgiveness. You have to ask for it though. He will not intrude upon you without you wanting him to be there. So if you get roasted on Satan's pitchfork for all eternity it is your choice you made because Jesus gave you the choice for life in heaven you only had to ask for it.

Imagine this:

There's was someone standing outside your door wanting to get in. You send your son to let them in. The person at the door not only rejects your son but hurls insults at him and you. They even go so far as to smash in you windows, lie to your neighbors and tell them that you don't exist and your son is ridiculous, and hurls insults at anyone whom you've invited that are coming through the door. That's the kind of person you never forget because of how angry they made you. Time passes (years), a huge fire breaks out in the city, many lives are lost, no ones home is standing but yours, and here comes that same person knocking on your door. They stand there without apology, full of pride, and demands to be let in. Once again you send your son to the door and the same thing that happened before happens again. Would you let them in? We are made in God's image. How do you think He will react in the same situation when the time comes?

Well, you can only forgive so much before you have to use tough love. And it is not as if he did not give you his only child and a free ticket to heaven. It is not his fault if you choose to turn the gift of salvation away. You rob a bank, you will sit in jail for a long time. Do the crime, do the time.

An eternally burning hell is not biblical. I would not worship a God who would burn sinners forever. God will destroy sin once and for all. Those who reject the free invitation to eternal life and insist on clinging to that sin will be destroyed with it. God will not force us to be saved.

Your coping with Paul. right this is the undertaking with Paul. evaluate Jesus. whether you have faith in him or no longer a minimum of there replaced right into a token made to verification in his case. He replaced into raised with religious teachings. He performed miracles often and in front of distinctive witnesses. He died in a public adventure in front of witnesses. He replaced into interred with witnesses. He regarded after his dying to distinctive witnesses. Now take Paul. he's a tax collector who comes into city sooner or later and claims he replaced into blinded and spoke to Jesus in a imaginative and prescient on an analogous time as on my own on a street without one close by. he's no longer even blind whilst he makes the declare. He never met Christ on an analogous time as he replaced into alive and had no information what so ever that he met him after the certainty. He preached a severely diverse message then Christ taught and performed no miracles, did no longer upward thrust from the ineffective and often adequate did no longer even write his very own letters that have been despatched throughout introduction (he had a author seem it up). So why can we've faith in revelations. absolutely everyone could desire to do comparable to Paul in the present day. yet whilst they can we lock them in a padded cellular. Even Saints had to furnish some style of information. Paul provided none and replaced into taken heavily. Why?
