Christians: Would a god that made Hell last 1,000 years instead of forever be more good than God?

Question

Or would he be evil for reducing pain since he would do things differently from your God?

Interesting that I got no response form the Christians.

Answer 1

After 1000 years, do you think you would repent and worship God?

God will not force you to choose him.
"If you want to live apart from Him in this life, he ratifies your choice for all eternity. So what God does NOT do is drag you kicking and screaming into His presence for all eternity. Hell is God ratifying your choices for all eternity."

Answer 2

You have confused so many things.

1st. God never intended for man to die. Remember, the punishment for breaking the 1 law they had was death. If they were going to die anyway, why bother?

2nd. You assume hell is a place of torture by fire. That is not what the Bible says. The dead are not able to feel anything. (Eccles. 9:5-6,10) Burning would have no effect on the dead. Hell is just another word for the grave.

3rd. The 1,000 year period is when Satan and his followers would be locked up, which is torture for them but nothing but relief for mankind. That is the time when God will resurrect the dead who a) have been faithful or b) never heard they had a choice to serve God or not. Rather than be evil, it is an example of great love and kindness by God for all humankind. That 1,000 years will be used to bring those humans back to perfection so God's original purpose for earth will be done.

That is perfect humans living forever, spreading the paradise that was Eden all over the earth.

Answer 3

A god that tortures anyone in hell is evil. God does not send people to hell forever or at all. We just die again a second time, from which there is no resurrection.

Answer 4

I dunno about anyone else, but I'm not sending someone I supposedly love for torture whether it be for 10 minutes or 1000 years or forever. That's not love.
