At one time; God loved all the people who are now in hell; but not anymore.
They're damned; and no longer get any sympathy.
†. Isa 13:9 . . See, the day of the Lord is coming-- a cruel day, with wrath
and fierce anger
If people have any doubts about the cruelty, the wrath, and the fierce anger
of God; all they have to do is look at what was left of Christ when those
three hours of inky darkness lifted.
The Romans whipped and pummeled Christ to within an inch of his life,
slapped him around, crowned him with thorns, and drove nails into his palms
and his feet. But that was child's play compared to what God did to him. By
the time those hours of darkness lifted; Christ's own mother would have
trouble recognizing him were he not staked up on that cross.
†. Isa 52:14-15 . . there were many who were appalled at him-- his
appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man and his form marred
beyond human likeness
If God would do that to a child of His own, think what He has in store for
outsiders who poo-poo the importance of what took place there that day and
mock His son and make remarks about him.
†. Heb 10:29-30 . .Think how much more terrible the punishment will be for
those who have trampled on the Son of God and have treated the blood of
the covenant as if it were common and unholy. Such people have insulted
and enraged the Holy Spirit who brings God's mercy to his people. For we
know the one who said: I will take vengeance. I will repay those who
deserve it.
Well . . their punishment isn't all that hard to guess is it? Fair's fair. At the
very least, they will be beaten and bloodied beyond recognition, same as he
was.
Did the walker on water, the controller of weather, mender of paralysis and
withered limbs, maker of wine from water; and raiser of the dead; feel any
pain during his ordeal? Yes.
†. Isa 53:10 . . It was Yhvh's will to crush him and cause him to suffer
(some versions say: put him to grief)
I should think that the word "suffer" says it all.
†. Acts 1:3 . . He showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible
proofs
The Greek word for "passion" is pascho (pas'-kho) which means: to
experience a sensation or impression (usually painful)
The below is an impassioned plea heard from the cross.
†. Matt 27:46 . . My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Here it is again; this time with some parts that were missing.
†. Ps 22:1 . . My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Why art thou so
far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
The Hebrew word for "roaring" is sheagah (sheh-aw-gaw') which means: a
rumbling or moan. In other words: people standing around the cross that
day during those three hours of inky dark couldn't see anything, but they
could sure hear: and what they heard were the dreadful cries of a man in
extreme discomfort.
