To me the paradox of Jesus is that, on the one hand we are told that God so loved the world...,etc., etc., whose love is embodied in Jesus. And on the other hand, Jesus is going to judge some day and consign the vast majority of humanity to a never ending torture, the likes of which would horrify Torquemada.
Would you rather have a God who let evil go unpunished?
Nah; you get that NOW!!
John 3:18
