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....
1 Timothy 2:3-4  ...God our Savior;  Who will have all men to be saved...
John 12:47  And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
Romans 4:5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in the one who declares the ungodly righteous ...

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.
