.........outside of Jesus Christ? and if we are eternally separated from Him, what does that mean? Seperated from what? anything that is good, kind, pleasant, we will have misery, pain. How can a loving God eternally seperate us from Him? How can a loving God kill His own Son? Should He not be able to just let us through regardless of Jesus if He is loving. Why would He brutalize and torture Jesus like that? Why does God need Jesus? Can't He love without Jesus? Makes no sense to me.

Another good question is how can god brutally torture those his people loves. Imagine being in heaven knowing your kid was roasting and screaming in hell.

So you will either be unaware of loved ones in hell or you won't be bothered by it. Which one?

When we understand the holiness of God and see the wonders of heaven beyond anything we can imagine and that our family and friend turned this down then we can only come to a realization that they belong in hell. I know it is harsh but it is the truth?

Not really but it really wasn't meant for this forum. The question is why does a God of love need Jesus?

It is harsh; horrifying even. I doubt its mentioned often in evangelism; people would be repulsed. Better to keep it hush-hush.

Do you think, by the way that the suffering of even loved ones in hell can be a cause of rejoicing for those in heaven, seeing God's justice?
