Er, so in fact the first sentence in that paragraph was false. God certainly will punish us for using our minds unless we come to the correct conclusion (and the overwhelming majority of those who have ever lived have no chance, culturally, of coming to that conclusion). Nice guy.

Romans Ch 1 deals with this issue pretty directly, and does so far better than I could in an FR thread. It's a good read that I'd reccomend to anyone looking for an answer to this question.

As for the rules, keep in mind that I wasn't the one that made them. If you don't like them, you'd better talk to Him. Fortunately, He's listening and you'll find that He is quite willing to talk back. You might even learn something.

Does that mean Jews are going to Hell forever?

I was looking for a "yes" or "no" answer to a simple question. Why not a simple "yes" or "no" answer?

As for the rules, keep in mind that I wasn't the one that made them.

But you do endorse those rules. You must believe that sending Jews to Hell forever is the right thing to do, correct?

Ah, the "no excuse" argument. Evidently false, since the overwhelming majority of those who have ever lived don't find the evidence for Christianity overwhelms their cultural predispositions. Therefore it isn't obvious to everyone that Christianity is true, therefore it is wrong to say their is no excuse for not accepting it. Every religion can make the same claim; all with equal invalidity.

As for the rules, keep in mind that I wasn't the one that made them. If you don't like them, you'd better talk to Him. Fortunately, He's listening and you'll find that He is quite willing to talk back. You might even learn something.

Save some time. You tell me the answer that you got from Him on this subject. "I wasn't the one who made the rules" is the standard whining response when the manifest unfairness (to the point of extreme evil if the purported punishments and rewards are true) of the "Rules" are pointed out.
