    Truth

    The Purpose of the Commandments

    Essentially the commandments reveal something about God to us. They tell us about his character, that he cares about us, otherwise why give us commands that will, in theory, enable us to please him. They tell us that he is Holy, loving and just. That he is also strict, no push over or sugar...

    What does the hell doctrine say about the character of God?

    The only interest being shown is in the feelings of those who have rejected God. There is no interest in the holiness, the justice of God. Where is the importance, in feelings of the created or in the honour, dignity and worth of creator God.

    What does the hell doctrine say about the character of God?

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If one concentrates on the fate of the lost and ignore God's justice. Then one will see an ugly image. None of us deserve salvation. That is the bottom line.

    Why do you believe that, after death, it's too late for Jesus to save people?

    Forgiveness is a very big subject which you do not understand, or you would not have made this last post. Forgiveness always starts with repentance. Those in hell are in the state they died in, as rejectors of Jesus and cannot change. If there is no repentance then there is no forgiveness...

    Why do you believe that, after death, it's too late for Jesus to save people?

    God is not in hell. Hell is where God is not. The torment suffered by those unfortunate enough to be there is the torment of knowing what they chose to reject and there regrets, if only I'd etc etc
