I used to defend Hell being eternal as unloving, but now I think I can just as easily defend it as unjust. If you want to worship a God who mediates perfect judgment, then why would you want to worship a God who sentences someone to an infinite sentence for sins committed in a finite lifespan? You presume that sin is temporal and not eternal- why? Why would the sinner separated from God in "hell" (whatever it may be) will not continue sinning against God and cursing him throughout eternity. I would assume that an omniscient God would know this when he proclaimed the sentence with finality. Some of the universalists here talk about God's love being so all-pervasive that it could redeem people in the afterlife but it strikes me as a bit odd that these people are usually anti-Calvinistic as well. If a person has the choice to accept or reject Christ then why would they accept a Christ who was currently punishing them for their sin by placing them in whatever it is that hell is? |
