How is it right that God burns alive for eternity those who do not follow Him? (Rev. 20)?

Question

If a person had a baby and that baby grew up and rebelled against them, rejected them, and made it clear they wanted nothing to do with them would it be right for that person to slowly boil the rebelling person, that they "created", in oil for the next week? If this is wrong, and obviously it is, then how is it right for God, who "is love" to create a person and then when that person rejects Him burn him/her in a "lake of fire' for eternity?

Answer 1

Is there any proof that anyone has actually gone to hell with the burning lake of fire? Or to heaven with the angels? No.
Any "hell" would be the one created on Earth by the person who killed their offspring.
Heaven and Hell are mythological places, just like Valhalla, Camelot, Avalon, Atlantis, Mount Olympus or the Underworld.
Every culture has created places that they cannot see, but are believed regardless in an effort to make sense of the world.

Answer 2

Why should people who reject Jesus have the promises of the ones who accept Him? God has given you ample time and warning what will happen if you reject His Son. God is a righteous judge. He can only be righteous, because He alone is perfect. It's not the same thing as a human deciding to boil somebody in oil. God is not human. He is God. He is justified in all He does.

Answer 3

Does an anti-christian want to accept Jesus as your savior?
Does an anti-christian want to go to heaven?
Read:
Eph 2:8-9
Acts 2:21
Romans
Jude
Job19
Matt24-25

If the freewill answer is no:
God can't have a rebellious,unrepentive,still wanting to sin person in Heaven.
If someone commits murder they may get the well deserved death penalty.

Philip. 2:9-11

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: [10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; [11] And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

God will Judge each person 100% justly.

Answer 4

It is not right. The "lake of fire" should not be taken literally. "FIRE" is usually a terminalogy for "final destruction". Therefore, a person who is judged by God to go to the lake of fire it does not mean that person is to be tormented for eternity in a literal fire. It simply means that he was judge to final destruction meaning no chance of him being brought back to life on Earth. Once a person dies, he feels nothing, know nothing... and his thoughts have perished. He goes back to dust. Therefore, they don't feel pain.

If a person refused to follow God's rule and regulations, his punishment is death. There is no life after death where he will be punished for eternity. It is sickning to know that many religions today teach that God can do such horrible things!!!

God is LOVE and to Him, death alone cancels out all your sins.

Answer 5

My answer is long, but soundly based on scripture and faith. A soul in jeopardy would take the time to read it, if s/he really wanted to know and not just pose a question to argue.

First of all, the lake of fire (hell) was not meant for people, but for the devil and his angels. They are definitely going there. You get to choose.

Second, our parenting gives us a fairly good representation of what it means to love someone unconditionally. However, the bible instructs that the wisdom of God is unsearchable. His ways are not like our ways, his thoughts not like our thoughts. In fact, our reasoning and God's wisdom, the two are a far apart from each other as the east is from the west. Right now with all of our ability to reason, we see as through a glass, dimly.

Third, God made a dying sacrifice to ensure you would NOT have to suffer eternal death in a lake of fire. He gave up his throne in heaven, took on flesh, bore the cross despising the same, took on your sins (before you were born) allowing separation from the divine portion of himself (the father) by taking on our sins, allowed man to kill him (if he hadn't we could not have done it) stayed in a grave for three days defeating hell and death (for you!) then rose up showed himself to the disciples, and ascended back to heaven to carry on as an advocate for you! Then he also sent back the Holy Spirit to lead and guide you to all knowledge of truth. What do you have to do in return? Just believe and confess your faith. Roman 10:9-11
Last: There is only one thing that God does not know and that is another God. He is therefore sovereign. Your arms are too short to box with him. If you don't like it all you can do is deny yourself paradise by not accepting him. A wise man would accept the providence of God, not argue against it.

Answer 6

God has put the terms on the table, if you follow him you live a life of unbelieveable pleasure in heaven and on earth for eternity. He gives you every chance to repent and give your life to him till the day you die. If you choose not to follow him he has given a consequence which is eternal torment in Hell for eternity. Why is that not equal? It's called free will

Answer 7

#1 God is not human, but the Creator of all things.

#2 He made the rules & gave us a rule book so we are not at a disadvantage. only those who want to do it their way will suffer the consequences.

#3 people always think living is all about them.
WRONG.
it's all about God & giving Him glory in ALL things.

#4 i say, know the game & play by the rules. we will have great rewards for eternity if we live accordingly.

Answer 8

We are His creation. Not His "babies". The only way to become a part of God's family is to be adopted. It is THEN we are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

Besides, God does not send anyone to hell. In fact, scripture shows clearly that it is not God's will at all.

2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that ANY should perish but that ALL should come to repentance.

But God will not interrupt any man's free will to choose. We go there because we choose not to be with Him. If you do not want God, He will send you where none of His light or love exists. Jesus describes this as a place of eternal torment and outer darkness.

God has provided a free ticket out of outer darkness. If you refuse it, who will be there to blame, God or YOU?

Answer 9

Despite the misinterpretation of this symbolism, God does not burn anyone for all eternity. (See Jeremiah 7:31) The penalty for sin has never changed. (See Romans 6:23)

Answer 10

Peace and reward be upon you. And why human beings did no longer thank the God for his reward ?why they did no longer obey him? they do the sin and that they understand that the God see them and don't shy , appreciate one yet another and don't appreciate the God , thank one yet another and don't thank the God. inspite of that ,the God suggested ,that's barely a minute say in it ,God forgive me ,and he will substitute each and every of the sins into reward. yet they wait inspite of they understand that loss of life could come at any 2nd. inspite of that ,come to work out what the God say in verse (7:156): _With my punishment i bypass to whom i visit; yet my mercy extendeth to all issues. the God suggested that his mercy extendeth to all issues ! even the Hell?! i think of confident , even the Hell. this eternity is the mercy , with the help of time it's going to be their ideal environment. there is similarity between those souls and the hell ; a number of those souls in its fact is a flame of envy ,rancor, jealousy ,indignation ,revolution ,criminal thoughts as Hell precisely , like those souls won't be able to stay in peace devoid of coming up fire around it. and since the flaws must be in its places ,the basically judgment is the hell for those souls and in the event that they entered the heaven ,they gained't experience its style. i do no longer deny that how lots the Hell is terrible ,yet as i understood , this fire isn't because of the fact the fire which all of us understand now even nevertheless it ought to offer different characters. the God suggested that they talk in it , and in it there's a tree carry very undesirable fruit,.. in any respect, desire the God take all human beings remote from it.
