‘Eternal suffering’ is nonsensical

So how do you deal with Jesus Himself speaking about hell?

Do you just reject aspects of the Bible and cherry pick what to follow?

In fairness sir, don't most Christians do that? (The cherry picking).

...if the concept that God leads people to Him (or even predestination) is accurate and Eichmann was not led to Christ, then he would be spending an eternity in hell.

...alongside the Jews he had gassed, presumably?

There's also the notion of purgatory within Catholicism. I imagine doing all of the evil would say something.

But yeah, the heart issue is important, and, moreover, I think people have an immature understanding of evil.

Ascribing it solely to one person is juvenile.

The evil that infected Hitler, Pol Pol, Mao, etc., is hardly unique. It isn't as if Hitler manipulated people endlessly into doing great evil.

Is the notion of purgatory Biblical?

The rest of your post, particularly on evil, is very interesting

My post may seem callous but I don’t think it was inaccurate.

Maybe you don't need to worry. There's nothing real about what you're saying anyway other than you really have said what you've just said on a message board.

That’s obviously your opinion and one I (and hundreds of millions of other people) disagree with. I think you’re trying to know God on your terms and not His terms (proof vs. evidence and faith) and incorrectly thinking you, with a finite mind and limited understanding and perspective, are capable of fully understanding the ways of an omniscient and holy God that has an eternal perspective.

Here’s the rest of my earlier post you chose not to quote. Why was that? Trying to falsely portray me as an anti-Semite?

What on earth are you on about?

Hey, who knows, maybe your beliefs are the result of a finite mind and limited understanding and perspective on your part too. Maybe it's not just me.

Clever, but you’re referencing two totally different things - the deity of Christ, which can be reasonably believed based upon evidence, and knowing all of the ways of an omniscient, omnipresent and completely holy God that has an eternal perspective. I think you’re attempting the latter, while I am content with the former.

Yeah but all this stuff you have typed doesn't affect the truth of what I said.

I think it exposes what you said was a false comparison.

Do you believe Jesus is the Son of God?

Dumb question.

You’ve got a lot of hate in your heart and that certainly is not evidence of one who is righteous (in right standing with God.)

Your presumption to judge who will go to heaven and hell and your condemnation of fellow Christians because they don’t subscribe to your false doctrine are evidence of sinful pride.

I note you did not respond to my query a ...[text shortened]... lteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.“

(Luke 18:9-14)

The arrogant Pharisee is more like the arrogant Christians of today.

Both profess their faith in God.
Both believe that they are superior to others
Both place very little emphasis on good works and living righteously
Both are mouth worshipping hypocrites.
Both hate nonChristians and expect them to burn in hell

Interesting that you refuse to answer it.

You are a dummy. Anyone with an ounce of braincells can see that Im a Christian and that I believe in God and I believe that Jesus is the Son of God.

Im just not a deluded Church Christian like your type.
