The Christian Proselytizer Questionnaire #13 Is hell justified?

13. Explain what type of offense could possibly justify eternal, unbearable torture in Hell; if your sect does not believe in Hell, then refute every passage in the Old and New Testaments which describes Hell (such as 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9 and Revelation 20:15). (Do not exceed 100 words.)

Trying to avoid hell is a pretty poor focus for your life. (Do you simply try to avoid jail or do you want to do good?) Jesus does tell us that love is the highest priority. He also tells us that doing good just to avoid hell won’t save us. All will be forgiven if you will truly repent.

The Christian Proselytizer Questionnaire #12 Why will people go to hell?

12. Explain why, if your god loves us all, more than half of us are going to Hell after we die. Specifically, refute or explain the following words of Christ, as presented in the New Testament: “Many are called but few are chosen,” and “Straight is the gate, and narrow is the way that leadeth unto salvation, and few there be that find it.” If your god loves all of us, couldn’t he find a better way?

God set up a system of choices and consequences. Jesus is making observations that many will make poor choices. The better way, as taught by Jesus is to love God and love each other. If anyone really tries to do that, they will be fine.

What’s this then?

I've had a strange relationship with faith for as long as I can remember. My journey has gone from doing what I was told, to questioning, to doubting, to abandon, to wonder, to play along, to work against, to open up, to change, to embrace, to wonder, to doubt, to work towards, and to keep searching for better answers. Our various understandings of faith are deeply personal. Sharing those understandings can be very helpful to ourselves as well as others.
