I can only assume you mean completely not able to be brainwashed or indoctrinated by the ancient ignorance of our ancestors in contradiction to the clear and unambiguous demonstration of God's Holy Spirit of agape love and forgiveness by Jesus on the Cross.

The same could be said about the vast majority of us. Being teachable is something I think we all struggle with.

I will believe anything you say if you can back it up with Scripture, in context.

I don't believe the vast majority are "completely" unteachable.
Although, many may be obstinate or as stubborn as a mule.

It seems fair enough to say that calling a Christian a heretic is a very bad thing for a Christian to do, and, as for City-Data, would probably be looked at as a "personal attack."

It's one of the most loving things to warn those in unbelief, on their way to eternal damnation, to repent and believe the good news of Jesus Christ, who died for all peoples sins and offers forgiveness to those who will repent.

Well, I suppose if you have been taught to fear God's wrath as some evil eternal punishment when you were gullible enough not to see how absurd it is, it would make sense for you to feel some obligation to warn others about it. Although, I remain utterly confused about how you can claim to love a God who would create such a punishment.

It cannot be actual love. It has to be some emotional hybrid born of fear. That just seems so sad to me. The God I love is TRULY loving beyond anything we can imagine or describe. I have tried to describe it many times and failed miserably.

The God I love, and the one presented in the Bible, also loves us beyond anything we can imagine or describe.

He loves us so much that he actually took on human flesh to die on a cross to pay the penalty for our sin. So he's not only loving, but he's just. He isn't the corrupt god you speak of that ignores wrongdoing.

God does not ignore wrongdoing. He corrects it and its effects in His Divine Justice that bears no resemblance to the imperfect punitive human justice you think is justice. His ways are not our ways. His Divine Justice balances the scales for ALL involved, perpetrators and victims alike. That is something our punitive human justice can never achieve and which an eternal punishment makes an absolute mockery of.
