Ask an ET'er this question, see if they have an answer.
« on: August 21, 2011, 04:36:39 PM »
I'm heading off to get things ready for church today, but this has come up in me recently and I want to put it out there while it's still fresh in me.  I have been in a bit of a debate with another person on another forum who is very much against UR and in our discussion, I came to ask a question he continually skirts around, so I thought maybe those of you who have similar conversations could ask the same question and relay back what their responses were.

The question is this

Why would we be told to love our enemies when God is going to torture his?

Not really a hard question is it?  Yet they won't answer it . . at least not the one's I've been asking.

He also loves justice.
He loves the sinner so much that they (sinner, God) are seperated for eternity as the sinner desired.

That the kind of answers I've read.

Excellent question, Nathan.

Why told to love our enemies?

The answer is Mat 5:45

So that you may be the sons of your Father in heaven; for his sun gives light to the evil and to the good, and he sends rain on the upright man and on the sinner.

  • Dear God, I have a problem, it's Me.
    • Is Hell eternal? Or will God's plan fail?

According to some Fundies it's because hatred is a sin, and we are supposed to have "clean hearts". In other words it's just about bettering our own spiritual condition and that's all.

Of course, this still leaves a big question unanswered: if God is going to hate forever, how is He any better than the ones that He's going to endlessly torch?
