Oh, I'm sure you will come up with a one page essay, of the same thing God is love.

So let me start it for you God is love:Just because God is love, doesn't mean that He want destroy the wicked.

I know that I write what I write because I want to.

If my memory is bad perhaps the goodness God has instilled into you will allow you to have some understanding.

I did address things that you write about concerning the wicked and it is your prerogative to disagree and not consider them. It is very good that we have the freedom to think for ourselves.

I am sure that you do not mean to demean me, but someone who takes things personally to easily would confuse your wisdom as insulting. Just an observation.

I'm not trying to insult you but it seems like you are saying the same thing over, when I never said anything against what you are saying.

We both get the idea that God is love, maybe we disagree on God punishing the wicked, but don't get the point of you pushing that God is love, of course He is, I never said other wise.

Don't know that I felt I was pushing it, I was explaining some issues and thats how I described it, if there was too many uses of the word love it was just a result of what I see everything God does is through. It was nothing intentional towards you if thats how you perceived it.

We do seem to disagree on the nature of Gods judgments, I'm ok with that if you are.

What is the fixation on the OT? God is the same throughout the Bible.
yes. But isn't it strange then, that while the Old Testament is utterly silent on the subject of supposed endless punishment, the New Testament might appear to teach such doctrine? Did God change, did God decide to create hell in the time between the Old and New Testament was written, did God borrow it from the paganized Jews, or do simply too much people ignorantly missinterpret, or willfully twist the New Testament?
