You can defend, explain, and justify it to your hearts content; but we are not filthy-rags to be tossed into a furnace for not believing that we are. If you want to believe in the Penal Substitution theory and the fiery furnace of eternal punishment - knock yourself out - because I am not buying it, as I was delivered from that mindset ages ago.
It is a truly sad life when it is spent in fear of the very God who created us! It is incomprehensible to me.
SO god's original intent is to punish us? Wrath is a given, but justification is a choice?
So god is saying I will KILL you if you refuse to love me?????
God gave us free will. We chose disobedience, which condemned us before our holy Creator. To redeem us, He sent Christ. Without Christ, we remain under condemnation.

18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. -Jesus
