I have always known that God was GOOD. In fact, He’s so awesomely good one cannot imagine how merciful and prada handbags ireland full of grace He really is. His unfailing LOVE staggers me! Lamentations 3:21 says that” God’s unfailing love never ends and prada handbags ireland His mercies keep me from complete destruction”. That I destroy myself a prada handbags ireland little is well documented. And then ten verses later in that prada handbags ireland same chapter of Lamentations, God gives me and all of humanity the prada handbags ireland final confidence by saying, “I will never abandon ANYONE FOREVER“. All are NLT versions. But, here’s the deal.
The majority of the prada handbags ireland Christian scholars, and thus the community as a whole, don’t believe that!
For decades I labored and prada handbags ireland struggled to somehow make what I had been told work: theologically, philosophically, logically. I mean if I can’t reconcile what I’ve been taught (my head) with my heart, what can I embrace? What indeed!
I guess the last hurdle I had to cross was God being a just God. That’s the prada handbags ireland sacry one that I was always threatened with whenever I started to prada handbags ireland question an opinion or dogma. God had to create a hell, as an prada handbags ireland example, to punish those who prada handbags ireland rejected Him. Those who sinned and refused to repent of their sins deserved hell- and it was their choice after all- free will you know. And then I started thinking.
Does anyone deserve hell? Seriously, think on it.
I am talking the commonly understood version of hell: eternal damnation, everlasting punishment and prada handbags ireland torment, and total forever and ever separation from God. That IS JUST? For decades I thought so. How could my teachers be wrong? Maybe if God was vindictive, mean-spirited, angry, and prada handbags ireland retributive in His approach to His creation: however, that’s not what Jesus revealed about the Father.
So, here’s where prada handbags ireland I have landed- currently. That God is love, loving, and merciful is prada handbags ireland without doubt. That He is JUST is prima facia evidence that He could NOT eternally damn someone- anyone. What’s JUST about eternal damnation for a temporal sin?
A JUST God? Hell yes! Which means there is no eternal hell, because God is JUST!
