He should FORCE them that do not believe into the Son of God to HAVE the Son of God anyway?
Atheist don't tend to expect much from God. Do you know an atheist who thinks God should grant him eternal life?
Or do you know someone who say, "Jesus is the way, but how bad could burning in a lake of fire for eternity really be?"
If not, who are you talking about?
If I make two pots, and one of them doesn't come out just so, should I love the one and smash the other into shards; grind the shards to a fine powder; boil the powder in acid; vitrify the precipitate and drop it down an abandoned oil well? Or will chucking it do?
If God does exist, how about he let me die, turn to dust and be done with it? Why Burn me?
Do you also feel that the love of man for fellowmen should empty all the prisons, and for love's sake, let every criminal go unpunished ? If I break into your home and slay your family to steal a TV, and we go to court, what should be my defense? Should I have my attorney argue that if the judge really LOVES me he should simply let me walk free?
Perhaps you will object that the sins are no so serious. Keep in mind that the thief, the rapist, the extortioner, the kidnapper all fail to see why their particular crime is taken so seriously. If they were to write the laws, they, no doubt, would place far lesser emphasis on the justice due concerning their particular crime.
The thief would legislate that stealing is of course not too bad of a crime. In fact it is perfectly acceptable behavior.
And how does a happy and peaceful kingdom exists when some of the participants accept the King and others reject Him and His authority? How is it lumping them altogether forever is a harmonious and blessed situation?
I don't see that God stops ever loving the sinner. I see that God must bear the sadness that some out of their own decision want nothing to do with His righteousness and His reign of eternal life.
Or do you feel that God should GIVE UP His rightoeusness to be PERMISSIVE that anything goes in His creation.
All I can make out of this is that you have a silliness quota and it's the end of the year.
