Thou speaks folly, verily, thou will be worm food, but thy God doth not exist, except in the fevered dreams of thee. How art does thou believe in a loving heaven father who doth torture his children in the pits of hell?

fun discussion to have punkofnice. Unfortunately, not one I can answer about. Please go to the section on the Bosom of Abraham. And by the way, the concept of God being love is not iterated in so many words anywhere in the Bible. God is Righteous, and sin cannot touch Him or communicate with Him. Thus, the sacrifice of His Son, and a bridge home for sinners. It's a phone call from Millionaire, asking you the 64000 dollar question. Do you Accept? If you answer yes, you're in by faith. If you answer no, you may have more chances to answer yes, or you may not. God may allow you to harden your heart. Or he may give you repentence, and let you turn to Him. This is the format of the books of 1 and 2 Kings, before Christ came to earth. Every King who repented and turned back to God was rewarded in his own lifetime and found favor in the eyes of God and People. At the time, the people only had the first five books of the law available to them. Some kept the law and the sacrificial system God had implemented. Most did not. And throughout the old testament, some people still chose to remain faithful to God. At that time, God spoke to men through the prophets. Read Habakuk, for example. It's short, but it is a message. But it was what God needed to communicate to the people of the time.
Habakkuk 2:4 "Behold, as for the proud one, His soul is not right within him; But the righteous will live by his faith." And in another fairly short prophecy, Micah answers a rhetorical question to help the people see that they are not doomed and that God is not asking too much of them. Micah 6:8
8He has told you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God? Ephesians 2:8-9 New International Version (NIV)
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
Galations 2:15-16 We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; 16 yet we know that a person is not justified b by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
