You might say that is not loving - but if there is a hell and I didn't tell you about it then that would not be loving - would it?

Zotta1, Jaysus, why didn’t somebody tell me beforehand of now? Hell? you say? You propose the only biblical writers stole from Greek Literature or is there a undeniable Christian Hell? I somewhat desire somebody could have spoken up beforehand of now; that's a marvel to be sure that i'm destined for something spoke of as Hell, particularly once you talk all the study and technological information that went into the thought. i can’t wait to take heed to them teeth gnashing and notice that lake of liquid sulfur; I guess that infant is warm, what cha think of? of direction, in case you ever examine the KJV you’d understand that heaven is warmer than Hell so, i assume we don’t choose to pass there the two, huh? Boy! What undesirable information! You Xtians have to any extent further of the…”good” information?

As a loving response, I would suggest that you go back and read what Jesus himself said about it. "I will have mercy, not sacrifice."
He was quoting Hosea 6:6 which is a condemnaton of the practice of sacrifice for sins.
The original Kingdom Gospel is the Genuine Gospel... this sacrifice gospel from Paul is not a good replacement for the orginal. But of course, this is just my opinion.

Do you know that wiccans don't believe in the original sin or that there is a hell. But we do believe that while we are here on earth we should do are part to help others and to help heal Mother Earth?

You have to respect a god that out of all the other possible way to create a world would choose a very bloody open and close method for having his creation love him - not.
But before that, you really need to prove that god or any god exists, or at least provide evidence that the Bible is not fiction. (Follow the thought, you may believe the bible but many people believe in Santa. Belief does not define fact.)

it would be even more loving not to have created hell in the first place. then no-one would have to go there.
"Oliver" I Agree. What's the point?? It's like forcing someone to do what you want. Brainwashing comes to mind.

I don't do sin - I obey the law.
I don't believe a hell or heaven or invisible sky thingy exists.
BUT if it did I'd rather go to hell just for the company.
Heaven would be filled with boring little bland people.

No, I don't know.. And neither do you, since you have never seen a Hell or a Heaven nor even a God.
Just because you believe in something does not make it true. If you would critically examine your beliefs, and let go of your fear it would become very obvious that the Bible is.. false.

Jer. 7:31: “They [apostate Judeans] have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, in order to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, a thing that I had not commanded and that had not come up into my heart.” (If it never came into God’s heart, surely he does not have and use such a thing on a larger scale.)
Illustration: What would you think of a parent who held his child’s hand over a fire to punish the child for wrongdoing? “God is love.” (1 John 4:8) Would he do what no right-minded human parent would do? Certainly not!

Yes I do know that....but the Bible also says that 'the wrath of man will not produce the righteousness of God'.... and that 'we are to give an answer to those who ask, in meekness and fear'.....you can't threaten or scare people into the kingdom.... there are much kinder ways to make a point

If you didn't tell us about 'hell', you wouldn't be preaching, which would be so much nicer. As for the existence of ''hell'', you don't know about its factual existence any more than I do, although it does call into question the so-called love of God that he is prepared to damn his own creation to fire, brimstone and eternal suffering because they don't give him what he wants.
Here, says God, have free will. Now if you don't do what I want, you'll suffer for eternity. I think that defines Hobson's choice, don't you?
