I'm sure you all have heard that one.
However, since "infinite" isn't God's only attribute, couldn't we try replacing the word with something else?
How about... A sin against a loving God calls for a loving punishment?
A sin against a forgiving God calls for a forgiving punishment?
A sin against a merciful God calls for a merciful punishment, maybe?
My :2c: for today.

Infinte drivel of ETs :winkgrin:
They make God someone with a split personality.
A bit like Hitler. We all know the beast Hitler. But in his private life he was a gentle and caring man.
Do we call Hitler a caring leader?
It's the most dominant thing in someone personality we (should) look at.
We have a caring God that weeps if sparrow drops dead.
But that same God is happy and glorified by roasting most of the planet.
There is a reason why He calls Himself Father instead of supreme ruler of the universe or some other cool title. IMO that point to type of relationship.
A relationship He even put in the ten commandments.
Human laws are a reflection of our society. I think the ten commandments are a refelection too...
URs see God as someone who constantly hugs people and once in while give a corrective slap.
ETs see God as someone who constantly kicks the crap out of people and gives a occasional hug to an elected child.
Ask yourself what kind of Father-child relationship "Father" points to....
Infinite sin against an infinite God causes Infinite punishement.
A limited sin against God causes an limited punishement.
Eye for an Eye , tooth for a tooth. Not 1 eye every day to God forever, because the king of Babylon took out Zed's, king of Isreal's eyes.
