Do you hear what you are saying? Think about this.
1.MERELY FOR REJECTING HIM? HE created you. Without him you would be nothing. Do you have children. How would it affect you if they reject you?
2. Then this God who created us sent HIS OWN SON, to take the punishment for our sins!! HIS OWN SON, and you say "merely for rejecting him?"
3. And the only thing he asks us to do is accept him. That is absolutly all. and you say "merely for rejecting him."
4. God preverse. Are you kidding. God burns NO ONE. People burn themselves for not believeing in the obvious.
You need to get past the emotions, and feelings, and I thinks. and see the bible for what is says. Read Luke 16:19-31, and remember this is NOT a parable, but a real story about real people!

I have two children. If they rejected me as their father, I would not devise a method where the punishment would be to be eternally burned forever in a fire. I know that's wrong and I'm a sinner. God surely knows it's wrong, that's why he didn't do it and that's why the bible doesn't teach it. It's our choice...we can die, or we can accept the gift of eternal life. God loves us, he doesn't want us to die. He wants us to live and be his children.

God People die by burning after they are resurrected and judged by God after the 1000 years, but they certainly aren't tortured by burning forever.

You know, I think I have the real advantage over Christians who have been steeped in the church for long periods of time. I had the advantage of reading the bible with no pre-conceived notions, only the guidance of God.
You need to read the bible with Gods help and see that you are being deceived by the teachings of men...not the teaching of the bible or of Jesus.
