I know, 'mom (peace to you!)... and so does our Lord. He HATES when folks lie about stuff like this - stuff that makes the Most Holy One of Israel out to be some kind of blood-thirsty monster-god who gets great joy from the smell of burning flesh and bone. That's WHY he said that HE came... to bear witness... to the TRUTH! HE not burn anyone... for a second, let alone forever. But he did say that if saw HIM... you also saw God... because he did NOTHING of his own initiative but only what he saw the Father doing. And what did HE do? Heal sick? Resurrect dead?
But those who don't KNOW him... don't know this about the Most Holy One of Israel, JAH of Armies. Because of all the heinous LIES about Him in the OT... which the Jews used to scare their enemies... they think He's quick to anger, hateful, bloodthirsty. When the TRUTH is that He is SLOW to anger, MERCIFUL... and ABUNDANT in loving kindness!
And so they continue in their falsehood and confusion... from one spectrum (all bad people are going to burn in hell forever)... to the other (no one's gonna be destroyed 'cause their ain't no God no how...). They don't get it that neither of these scenarios are the TRUTH!
Ah, well... what can you say/do? Apparently, the will of our Lord is what I have "said/done" here.
Peace to you, girl!
Your servant, sister, and a slave of Christ,
Shel
