It doesn’t make sense to me. Why would God create us, and then torture us for eternity?

It would seem that way, but Eternity has no place for error or injustice, otherwise it would become corrupt. There is no room for either.

Also God is described as a 'consuming fire' - any sin gets burned up in His presence in heaven (or removed as in the Devil and his demons).

The problem is that mankind has inherited the sin nature from our forefather and is none are ready to be in the presence of God on their own.

That's why we need a Savior and that God sent one: The Lord Jesus Christ. He came to pay the penalty of the errors (sins iniquities etc) of folks like us on the Cross. And in resurrecting Himself, He has proven that death and being unable to stand in the presence of God IS NO MORE for folks like you and me.

For He is Worthy of our Love, for doing such for folks like us out of sheer Grace and Kindness.

One must understand the utter Holiness of God and the purity of what Eternity in heaven with God must be. That all human beings are eternal creatures with one of two destinies. The tragedy is that many will chose the worst of the two willfully.

So how is it that billions of Indians, Chinese and Japanese who have already lived and died chose to burn forever?

The percentage of (former) Asians in Heaven must be exceedingly small. Is it Justice in your opinion, that having made that choice, they suffer forever?
