God is love, it isn't that He is loving, He is love.
God's Kingdom has two main rules, Love God and each other,
everything else hangs on these two rules.
In this life God allows us freedom to do what we will, we can strive to
follow God in God's ways, or we can act following our instincts man's ways.
In this universe God rules over we can choose to do things by following
the Lord King of the universe who is Love, or we can follow the world,
our flesh, or the devil. We can choose to establish our own righteousness
or accept a gift from the God who loves us, it is enough. He tells us how
to come to Him, but we can do what we will for as long as we will, any
way we will.
So, to enter God's Kingdom we repent, turn to God through Jesus Christ,
receive Him into our hearts, and follow Him. We receive God's Spirit
within ourselves, and we can be filled with God's Spirit, and walk as close to
God as we strive too, if we hunger and thirst for Him we well be filled, if
not. The way to God was established by God not man, it is through
Jesus Christ, which is good since He never fails, and because we have
a sinful bent that ruins everything we do in our nature.
God is love and if you want to walk with Him and learn His ways you can.
God is love and if you want to serve Him and learn about Him you can.
God is love and if you want to serve Him by serving those He died for you can.
God is love and if you want to be forgiven you can, He set it up just for
us, He took on our sins and became sin for us, and He tells us to forgive
all who sin against us as He has forgiven us.
God is love and He loves us while we were yet sinners and calls us to
Him, we cannot make ourselves good enough, it is never God loves us
because we of what we did or do, He loves us because God is love.
God is love and with His Spirit within us we will see the fruit of His
Spirit which are: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control;
against such things there is no law.
God is love if we turn from our wicked ways towards Him, He can cover
us with His grace and mercy, not because we deserve it, but because He
loves us.
God is love he will not force Himself upon us, so if we just mouth us
loyalty to Him but keep our hearts from Him, He will honor our heart
which is the reality of our souls.
Isaiah 29:13
And the Lord said: “Because this people draw near with their mouth and
honor me with their lips, while their hearts are far from me, and their
fear of me is a commandment taught by men,
God is love, His judgments are always going to be based on truth.
God is love and if you want to be His enemy in this life you can be.
God is love and if you want to ignore Him you can.
God is love and if you want to suggest He isn't real you can.
God is love and if you want to hate your brother you can.
God is love and if you want to avoid Him by establishing your own
rules you can by rebelling against God.
God is love you can do your own thing, or turn to Him it is always
up to you.
God is love if you want to accuse Him of anything you can.
In the end truth will be on display.
God is love and wants to act on mercy and will with those to come for it.

Again going by your definition, to love God is to profess that you believe. That is not a God of love. That is unreasonable and vile hatred for the innocent. Your doctrine is a convoluted mess.
Originally posted by @rajk999I don’t have a god, God created the universe and everything in it. What God does and will do is written in His Word. So with respect to the doctrine of Hell, what does the Word of God say, it is most certainly not what you or I think that matters on this topic, or any other when God has spoken about it.

And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Matthew 10:28 KJV)
Jesus is the Word, Jesus is the Way. Your profession of faith that you believe that Jesus is the Way is a hollow belief because you do not believe in Jesus when he said that God will destroy souls in hell. You said previously when i confronted you with this passage about souls being DESTROYED vs TORTURED, you said that not because Jesus says so means it will happen .. therefore you gravitate to your false church doctrine of eternal torture rather than what Jesus states here clearly THAT THEY WILL BE DESTROYED.
You are just another deluded Christians trying to promote another false doctrine. Dive has a valid question .. why would nonChristians believe in what you people say when everything is so false?
Originally posted by @rajk999You are twisting that scripture, it doesn’t say God will destroy, but is able. Do not add to the Word, scripture is quite clear on the duration.

Originally posted by @kellyjaySo Jesus is saying to fear something that will never happen?

Why fear that God is able to destroy body and soul then?
Originally posted by @rajk999Because He can, and comparing that to what man can do to it is wiser to not worry about man compared to God! Which was the point Jesus was making!

Is there a point in fearing God if according to you what Jesus said will not happen?
There is no point in fearing God.
Originally posted by @rajk999Then all of the times Jesus did speak to the duration of suffering, when no words have to be altered, them you choose to ignore too?

Originally posted by @kellyjayEternal punishment is not equivalent to eternal torture, like I know you believe.

Jesus never preached eternal torture for anyone except in Revelation there are three evil beings Satan and his angels.
Originally posted by @rajk999I am not interested in how you view what is equivalent to what. What words were used in scripture, that and only that matters. People alter the text to suit themselves all the time, they add words, change the meaning of clear text so that they can interpret the Word instead of just quote it, so what does the Word say?

Originally posted by @kellyjayWell please quote the passage where Jesus says that people will be eternally tortured.
