Bob I will do my best to answer you as honestly as I can. <<1. God is all loving as well as perfectly just and righteous. He has emotions and is not single dimensional. >> I cant agree to this. I cant see God as being "moody". I believe that he is the epitome of unconditional love. I believe that theire are only two pure, sponsoring emotions. Love and fear. Ithink all things of love derive from God, Fear does not. <<I feel that God is well within His rights to judge and punish sins according to His will in light of the fact that He establishes right and wrong and has provided forgiveness through the Messiah.>> I think you have missed my point. I am not saying that people dont sin, or act in wrong ways. My point is, after we have committed sin and sit before god, he can do one of two things. He can punish you or rehabilitate you. I can think of many reasons for God to rehabilitate a broken soul. Many reason why that is the "higher" or "nobler" path. I can think of no reasons why eternal toruture of that soul is the higher or nobler path. Remember, the final outcome can be the same. God can end up with the same final result. How does eternal torture end up as the higher or nobler path? Mark
