@thinkofone saidLet's see.
On top of that when He says if we show no mercy to others, we can except the same treatment He should lie about that?
Yet you support capital punishment. How is that not the epitome of "show[ing] no mercy"?
When you post statements like this, it underscores the incoherence and hypocrisy of your beliefs. It is a prime example of your intellectual dishonesty.
On one hand you wrote:

On the other you support capital punishment which is the epitome of "show[ing] no mercy".
This underscores the incoherence and hypocrisy of your beliefs.
Since you are unable to reasonably defend the incoherence and hypocrisy of your beliefs, you've chosen to deflect. Which of course is yet another example of your intellectual dishonesty.

How unfair of me? You never, ever said that you were scary.
What does the question "Are you running away?" suggest ?
Now answer me this which is more important.
Let's play it your way and remove any concept of fire from "the second death" or "eternal punishment". Let's assume all reference to fire is only allegorical and not literal.
Now that we have removed any concept of everlasting fire how does eternal separation from God appear more palatable to you ?
On what grounds do you now argue that no torment or suffering would then be involved with being separated from God forever?

@sonship saidEternal separation would be in oblivion (nothingness) void of any torment or suffering. Why would your God favor eternal torment over this?
