So is that a "no, that would not be correct to worship him"?

Are you taking a stand and saying that Jesus is not whomever we want him to be?

The very concept itself of eternally (INIFINTELY) tormenting ANYONE for ANY REASON committed during a (FINITE) life is inherently EVIL, period!! It achieves nothing good.

Still waiting for you to provide ANY documentation to support any of this stuff you keep saying.

Sorry..but we aren't privy to that "consciousness" you claim talks to you. Personally, if a consciousness were talking to me and no one else, I think I'd get checked out.

I look at Jesus as being whomever we need Him to be. He's the cure for what ails you.

So you believe that a person would be "incorrect" to worship this guy as Christ?
Uh oh...you saw yourself being accused? Where?

What about the rest of my post? Do you think a priest who abuses little boys thinks he's doing the work of God?

You seem really fired up about even the insinuation of eternal damnation. Strange. (If it's not real, why are you so triggered by the implication of it? Are you afraid you might not have done enough to "get in"?)

What do you think is going on? The nearest I can tell is that we are fabulous at justifying hurting one another.

She (I think she's a she) is very triggered by even the thought of eternal damnation. Maybe she thinks she hasn't done enough to "get in"?



Doesn't the Bible speak about a "Lake of Fire" and the like? Hell?

The rest of your post has nothing to do with the concept of Hell. Evil exists in the world and those examples of it do not in any way justify the concept of Hell. God will correct and balance the scales using His perfect justice, NOT our human concept of justice by punishment.

That you find such eternally pure vengeance remotely acceptable does not speak well of your heart, IMO.
