If there is a hell (a fiery place of eternal torment) or if hell exists then God is the most evil person in the universe! Why do I say that?
I am a father and a step-father. At times my children did things where they needed some discipline. But never in my wildest dreams or the day where I was really upset and hurt by something they did, did I ever decide that I would torture them for a minute, never mind for eternity.
What comes into our mind when we hear that someone abuses their children or anybody else, are we
happy about that? No, decent people are appalled!What kind of sick mind invented “hell” and blamed God for this invention?
Please study and meditate on what is says in the following Scripture: Jeremiah 7:31 (King James Version) “And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.”
Jeremiah
7:31 (New International Version) “They have built the high places of Topheth in the Valley of Ben Hinnom to burn their sons and daughters in the fire—something I did not command, nor did it enter my mind.”A place for burning children never even entered the heart or the mind of God. Man in his corrupted state creates evils and then blames God for them.
What about any Scripture that seems to imply a hell? All it is is a bad translation of the original writings, period.
What will God do with really evil people that refuse to change? Romans 6:23 (King James Version) “For the wages of sin is death.” Death is the opposite of life, it is non-existence. It is like the death penalty. They simply will not live anymore.
No, God is not evil but He is a God of love!
