Listen friend. I just hope you realize the God is love, but he is also the “habitation of justice”. He must punish sin. Even one lie, one item stolen no matter the value, one woman lusted after, and He must punish with eternal damnation, UNLESS you trust Jesus Christ, who took your punishment for you. Christ takes your sin, you take Christ’s righteousness.

Please explain how a perfect being MUST do anything like punish

Who created that law that binds a supreme being so that he has to do anything

Talk about a contradiction

Sorry my friend but you are attributing human qualities punish etc etc to a so called supreme being

You see they only exist in your PETTY human mind --
You have some nerve telling a supreme being HE HAS TO DO ANYTHING

[metmom]

God has told us that He is going to punish sin.

What He says He will do, He does.

Someone relaying the message is not telling God what to do.

Not that you’re itnerested in learnign anythign about God as I’ve witnessed your posts for a long time now, and it is clear that you seek any inkling of a wiggle room to justify your denial of God- you lay traps hoping to trip unsuspecting Christians up, make htem look foolish, just so your own denial of God will have a reason to stand on- it’s funny htough that you seem content with tripping up error prone Christians who don’t infact have al lthe answers, but you won’t go directly to the source- the one who does have all the answers- after all- it is Him that you be facign when the game is over

However, having said that, let’s address just one more of hte endless silyl questions thrown at Christians- Why must God punish. As you full well know, Absolute moral law dictates that evil must be addressed- Suppose you awoke every day, and from second number one, until you went to sleep, people did nothign but evil to you- Would you not then demand justice be served? Of course you would- Evil must be countered with righteous judgement- The absolute moral code demands unjust be met with just. If a person WILLFULLY makes the descision to do some horrible act of evil toward you, or some injustice that deprives you of your rights, then you know that you would be the first person to ackowledge that somethign must be doen to rectify the situation.

Now, if free will didn’t exist, then you’re right, there would be no need of punishment, because everyone would robotically love and obey God- the fact of hte matter htough is that in order that free will should be a reality, there MUST be an alternative to good to choose from.

This is why God must punish
