You missed the point of what I said ENTIRELY! I didn't say any of this, GOD DID! You condemn yourself, not me. I have nothing to do with it. If Hell is not for non-believers, who is it for? I'm not telling anyone what to do, I'm just doing what GOD says to do. If you CHOOSE to rebel against GOD, that's not my concern. I still want the Holy Spirit to call you, but He is responsible to save who He will. It's not my responsibility. Jesus explained the Scriptures to the Synagouge's and they made their choices. All the Scriptures told of the coming of Jesus. He is seen in all the verses. Don't be mad at me and my brothers, God is who you are angry at. As Christians we have 1 job; spread the Gospel. We are ordered to do that. You still have your will. We won't ever take that from you, nor could I. When you come to Jesus, you give up your will for His. As long as you rebel and keep your will, you cannot be doing God's will. That's what it's been about since Adam and Eve. It's not that complicated.
I just never understand why people get so angry when God is talked about. They act like He is some namby pamby, "can't we all just get along", God. He destroyed Sodom for their sin, He destroyed everyone on Earth, save 8 people, for their sin, He has put the Jews in slavery many times to punish His people, Why do people believe they can mock His Son's sacrifice and get away with it? Salvation is a free gift. I don't give it, He does. I don't judge you, He will. Being a "good person" won't get you there. That is the problem with all religions that have no Savior. You will be judged on your works and nobody is without sin. Your religion teaches you to shed blood for forgiveness of sin. Whoose blood have you shed lately? Do you take goats down to the Synagouge, or is that old fashion? Where does it say you should stop the Law of God? Read Josepheus and see that miracles stoped happening at the Temple when Jesus died. People were waiting and waiting for the crimson thread to turn white, it didn't. Did the Glory of God decend on the Temple to show their sin was forgiven one more time? No, it stopped. There was no need for sacrifice after the Supreme Sacrifice, once for all. There was a period of about 30-35 years with no miracles commented about in his writings.
You say God loves "your" people. Are there NO Jews in Hell? There are Jews that are atheists. Are they saved also by heritage? You are correct that God loves all people, That why His Son died for their sins. You must believe that to accept the free gift. If you don't, you are self rightious and will be judged accordingly. You must reach the standard Jesus set to get in heaven. Good luck to you and Shalom.
The notion that God is nothing but wrath and anger is not borne out by the Torah. We are all subject to the consequences of our actions, that's just the way things are. The real God is extremely forgiving. The fact Jews exist at all is proof enough of that.
Jews have never needed to sacrifice human beings or worship men to gain God's forgiveness, and neither has anyone else.
I accepted and practiced Christianity for 25 years, but ultimately rejected it. For that Christians say I will go to hell. I say such obsession with darkness is hell itself, and experience bears this out. Once I discarded Christianity and chose to speak to God directly, I stopped living in fear and doubt. As Paul might put it, it was as if the scales had fallen from my eyes.
Again, hear me when I tell you that if your belief in Jesus truly leads you to God, then it is good. In my case it did not, but led to decades of confusion, anguish and feelings of guilt. That is not salvation, and the notion that perhaps I "didn't try hard enough" or "truly believe" is nothing more than fiction and a cheap attempt at cult intimidation. You have no idea what I have been through, nor where I have been.
One reason, but certainly not the only reason, I was unable to continue to practice Christianity is its endless fixation with sin, guilt, death, hell, demons and evil. These things do exist, but it is spiritual suicide to ruminate on them. In 25 years and dozens of congregations, the same problems kept surfacing again and again. For me, it was not a path to happiness, salvation or God.
I know a pattern when I see one, even when I try to force myself not to see it. The threats of eternal damnation, the lake of fire and other such things are products of Christian dogma, not the Torah. Can you reread your post objectively and honestly, and tell me with a straight face that it is not rife with threats and darkness?
Darkness, anger, hatred and torment are not the calling cards of God, but of one of his angels who seeks to be like God. Talk to God, and not a surrogate, and ask Him for yourself. Certainly a Christian should not deny the power and importance of prayer!
The Truth is immutable and needs no defense, it needs no dressing or adornment, and is best when it is plain. It is there for anyone who is willing to see it.
God does not hide, does not deceive, and He does not lie.
