    “I saved you from being sent to hell.”

    “Wait, who was going to send me to hell?”

    “I was”

    “…”

    “Praise and worship pls, I suffered a lot for this.”

      Depending on the interpretation the “I was” should be “yourself”.

      As God is the source of all life and good, choosing to turn away from Him means hell is self-inflicted.

        Isaiah 45:7 : I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things,"

        God made the evil.

        If this is what god said, then it’s like Jeff Bezos running ads saying he’s a good guy.

    Remember, the concept of hell doesn’t exist anywhere in Jewish or Christian scripture. It’s a much later Hellenist addition.

    The whole thing about Jesus saving us by suffering and dying… If god was all powerful, he could have saved us without all the suffering part. Since he had to suffer, there are rules that god must adhere to. If god has to obey rules, then he is not all powerful.

      …wat? It’s not because there’s rules (he very well could have simply snapped his fingers), it’s because he wanted to demonstrate to us how much he loved us. It has to do with the whole “he is the embodiment of both perfect love and perfect justice” thing.
