What about God’s word? Do you reject that because it contradicts your own fallible, human suppositions?

LOL, what do you care about God's word - Jesus calls something His "greatest commandment," and you deny its status because it contradicts YOUR own fallible, human suppositions. Jesus teaches God's love, but you parse it with words you choose and apply from a book you decide is the only one that can be applied, in the edition and language you choose, according to the particular sect you've chosen - and then deny you had anything to do with the results you approve of. It's pathetic - not that you do it, but that you deny doing it. And where has it gotten you? What Christian state of grace has your study, effort and logic achieved for you? The denial of the infinite power of the love of God, that's where it's gotten you, in direct rejection of the teachings of Jesus Himself.

I pity you. You are lost in a nightmare of your own making.

God's love IS God's "word!" Wake UP!

I never did any such thing. What I argue is that your logic, if it were true, would nullify that commandment, since it would be impossible for any of us to love God, if we were being forced to do so under duress. That’s exactly what you are proposing, when you said that nobody could reject God’s love. If we cannot reject it, then we cannot accept it willingly either, which makes us incapable of loving Him at all, since only love freely given is actually love.

Now, can you stop trying to evade the simple question and just answer it? When the Bible says that the devil will be cast into the lake of fire and tormented for ever and ever (in whatever translation you choose, it will read much the same I expect), do you reject that statement from God, in favor of your own human suppositions?

If you try and dance around that question again, I’ll just have to assume you reject the word of God as an authority, in which case we don’t have anything left to discuss.
