Cup....How long do you think someone should go to hell?
Well, that's not up to me.
Have you ever seen the mountains of people hitler tortured and mudered?
No I haven't, have you?
It's very nice that you have great compassion. I feel you have the compassion of Christ. Christ has given the keys to heaven. It is still up to the people on where they go.
John 12:47-48
"He that rejecteth Me, and recieve not My words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day."
Concerning a coming Judgement there is no doubt, I find no mistranslation or error in these words, Christ will judge, there is no doubt of that, we all likewise come before the Lord of the universe to be judged as of our words and deeds.
But concerning a firey "Hell" where Jesus Christ and His saints torture live human souls over hot coals for infinity years, there is nothing in the word of God to say that this happens to unbelievers, in fact God says He will not pass people through the fire and that they should not think that He would even consider that because it is not in His nature to do so...But, But, is it in our nature? Have we not thought it? Could we be wrong? Does God condemn humans to infinity in hellhole of unimaginable torture? Or is there designed effort to blaspheme God's holy nature? Yes God punishes, yes God judges, but "will not the Judge of all the earth do right?"
Do people realise that the Bible has the ability to also be a mirror into your own soul and mind, people can project their emotions and insecurities and fears and thoughts whether good ore evil, onto the word of God, the word is like that, and God tests us with His word, especially those whom He has chosen to seek Him further, to seek Him on a deeper level.
It is not that I personally don't God to torture people, it is that I can prove that the Bible does not teach this, the wicked are not immortal, an evil soul cannot withstand God's eternal fire! You see it is His fire that is eternal, not our souls, the righteous soul is immortal but what will become of the wicked? Jesus says that God can destroy the souls of the wicked! His lake of fire is eternal
aionious which in the Biblical Greek does not mean infinity, but means that His fire cannot be extinguished, you cannot stop it or overcome it, eternal means that, it has in the Koine Greek a meaning of the "age of ages", does not mean a never ending amount of time, same as "ever" is often translated not to mean a never ending period of time but to mean a God defined age - from
aion = age...
All I can say is that we should fear God, anybody that knows what it means to be tortured, knows that yes God is capable of inflicting the most terrifying pain and suffering, and believe me He does, but there is nothing in the Bible that says that the pain lasts for infinity years.
Oh and one more thing; never underestimate Satan's ability to lie and decieve, he is far more intelligent than us, so his plans are far more sophisticated than we can devise.
